LienClock is published by Flint Software, an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For privacy questions, email captainlongevity@gmail.com. If you contact us, we receive the message and any information you choose to include; please avoid sending sensitive project details unnecessarily. This voluntary support correspondence is separate from the App's local project storage.
Successful calculator runs are stored locally on Free as well as Pro, even if you do not save a project. Pro controls access to earlier calculation history, rather than whether those sessions are stored. Project data and calculation history use local SwiftData storage.
Local App data may be included in an iCloud or computer-managed device backup according to your settings. Recovery depends on a usable, successfully completed backup and Apple’s restoration process; enabling backup alone does not guarantee recovery of every record. We cannot read, retrieve or restore those backups. There is no built-in project/history backup, JSON import, archive restore or project cloud sync. A deadline calendar file is not a project or history backup, and purchase restoration does not restore project data.
Rule updates refresh the bundled reference library in place. Saved projects and history retain their original snapshots and may require review and recalculation; stale results are excluded from active deadline widgets and reminders. Previously exported Calendar events need manual review.
Pro’s Add to Calendar requests Apple’s Calendar full access permission on iOS 17 and later (NSCalendarsFullAccessUsageDescription). Full access technically permits reading and writing Calendar events; it is not a write-only system permission. LienClock adds deadline events and, when recalculating a saved project, can retrieve an event by its saved identifier to update its date if the corresponding deadline remains matched. It does not scan unrelated events or upload Calendar content to us. The current interface does not offer deletion of Calendar events; obsolete events and events belonging to a deleted project remain for you to manage in Calendar.
Created events contain the deadline label, jurisdiction, due date, statute reference, a reference-only disclaimer and alerts at 30, 7 and 1 day before the date. They are saved to your default writable calendar. Its provider may synchronize them, including through iCloud or another configured calendar account. Events persist independently of the App, including after App deletion. Repeated exports can create independent copies; recalculation cannot update an event whose identifier is unavailable, and an update may fail if permission or the event is no longer available.
Free users, or users declining direct Calendar access, can export a temporary .ics file and use the iOS preview or sharing controls to add or send it. This readable, unencrypted file contains the selected deadline label, jurisdiction, date, statute reference, disclaimer and calendar alerts, rather than the entire project or history. App Lock does not protect a copy saved or shared outside the App. The selected Calendar or sharing service controls its subsequent handling. Calendar-file export does not require granting LienClock Calendar access and imported copies do not receive automatic updates from the App.
Opening a statute, legal page, App Store link or email action is user-initiated and uses the relevant browser, Apple service or email provider. Those services receive their normal connection or message data under their own policies.
These support and legal webpages are hosted by Vercel. Visiting them sends normal web-request information, such as an IP address and browser request headers, to the hosting service; see Vercel’s Privacy Notice. This is separate from the App's local project storage. The pages do not request or upload your saved projects or calculation inputs.
NSFaceIDUsageDescription; supported devices may use Touch ID.Manage permissions in iOS Settings. App Lock protects access within LienClock; it does not lock independent Calendar events, exported files, widget content or notification previews. Configure their visibility separately in iOS.
Pro Annual is $9.99 USD per year, with a 14-day trial only when Apple confirms actual offer eligibility and availability; Pro Lifetime is $19.99 USD once. The current localized price, offer and billing terms shown by Apple govern the purchase. See the Terms of Service for renewal and cancellation details.
StoreKit loads products and handles purchases, restores and entitlement verification with Apple. LienClock processes verified product and transaction information, such as product identifiers, transaction identifiers, purchase and expiration dates, revocation status and introductory-offer eligibility, to determine Pro access. We do not receive your Apple ID credentials, payment method or billing address, and do not upload this information to a developer-operated server. Apple's handling is governed by its own privacy terms.
The reference library covers all 50 states, DC and the Federal Miller Act. Automatic calculations cover selected scenarios and vary by state, contracting role and project type. Private-project rules include supported subcontractor scenarios in all 50 states and DC; other roles, remedies and exceptions have narrower coverage. Selected state/local public-project scenarios also span all 50 states and DC, but this is not complete coverage of every public contract or remedy. HI, IN, MT and NM provide claim or notice dates only; IN covers local held-contract-fund claims. SD covers mandatory-bond failure and joining an existing claimant bond action. KY, MO and WV action limits require confirmed accrual and applicable bond conditions. Other remedies, bond terms and calendar boundaries require individual review. Pro does not unlock unsupported scenarios.
Federal Miller Act calculations require an applicable federal payment bond and a supported claimant tier; public ownership or federal funding alone does not establish coverage. Public projects do not receive property-lien filing deadlines. Verified rules apply supported weekend and holiday extensions; unverified calendars, extraordinary closures, tolling and outcome-changing exceptions require individual review.
References and calculation rules are bundled into App releases. Updating the rule library for an existing installation does not query a remote statute database or send your project inputs to us.
LienClock is intended for U.S. adults engaged in commercial construction. The App does not automatically collect personal information, including from children. Voluntary support messages are handled separately as described above.
Deleting a project removes that project’s saved deadlines and cancels their linked pending local reminders after a successful save. It does not erase separately stored calculator sessions or remove Calendar events. The Pro history view has separate controls to delete calculation sessions; Free users do not have access to that history view. There is no Recently Deleted area or in-app undo for these deletions. Removing the App removes its local store; device-backup copies, exported files and Calendar events must be managed separately. We hold no developer-operated project copy. Delivered notifications, support correspondence and Apple purchase records also remain separate from the active App records.
LienClock is published in English for U.S. construction-law references. Actual App Store availability is determined by Apple's storefront configuration. The App does not upload project data to us; Calendar synchronization, device backups, external links and purchases are handled by the services you use.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example, if we add an opt-in cloud feature in a later version — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

The updated App reports unsuccessful history deletion and keeps the sessions and pending reminders until their deletion saves. A successful history deletion cancels its linked pending local reminders; delivered alerts and Calendar copies remain separate. Calculation and project save failures preserve unrelated pending edits. The project form applies only its edited text fields. If Calendar creates an event but saving its local identifier fails, the event remains in Calendar and the pending identifier stays in memory while the screen remains open; Retry Saving Link retries the database save without creating another event. Interruption before successful saving can leave an independent Calendar event whose link is unavailable. Manage such copies in Calendar; saving or sharing again may create duplicates.
