Samplwitt — Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-06-20 · Last updated 2026-06-20

The short version: every audit case, certificate, sampling objection, and photo you put into Samplwitt stays on your iPhone. There is no Samplwitt account and no Samplwitt server, and the app connects to no bank or financial account. The only time it touches the network is to ask Apple's StoreKit whether your subscription is active.

Who publishes Samplwitt

Samplwitt is built by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). You can reach us at captainlongevity@gmail.com.

Plain answers to the questions that matter

Where do my audit records live?

On your iPhone, in this app's local SwiftData store, and nowhere else. We never see them. There is no cloud account behind Samplwitt, so there is nothing on our side to read, lose, or hand to anyone.

Does Samplwitt connect to my bank or read my financial accounts?

No. Samplwitt has no bank connection, uses no financial-aggregation service, and never asks for a bank login, account number, or Social Security number. The sales and assessment figures you may type are plain text the app displays — it performs no tax or financial calculation on them.

The app can use the camera and my photo library. Where do those photos go?

When you want to attach a photo of an exemption certificate, a resale certificate, or an audit notice, you can capture one with the camera or choose an existing one from your library using Apple's system photo picker. Either way, the photo is saved inside the app's own local storage as part of the certificate or audit-case record it belongs to. The photos are for your reference only — never uploaded, never sent to us, and never sent to any tax authority. The camera and picker are reached only at the moment you tap to add a photo to a record.

Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or an ad identifier?

No. There is no analytics framework, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier. We cannot tell how often you open the app, which audits you log, how many certificates you add, or whether you subscribed — beyond Apple's standard aggregate sales reports.

Does the app contact the state department of revenue or any agency?

No. Samplwitt files nothing, submits nothing, and checks nothing on your behalf. The state sales-tax and appeal-procedure material in the Reference tab is bundled lookup content shipped inside the app and updated through ordinary App Store releases. The app makes no calls to any government system.

Does my data go to iCloud or my Apple ID?

Samplwitt declares no iCloud entitlement and performs no sync. Your records and photos are included in your normal iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes) when you have those turned on — that is Apple's standard backup behavior for on-device data, not a Samplwitt feature.

What the app keeps on your device

All of this is covered by your iOS Backups when enabled. We hold no copy. If you delete Samplwitt without an iOS Backup available, the records and attached photos cannot be recovered — there is no remote copy to restore from.

System features the app can use

Subscriptions and StoreKit

Samplwitt offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) through Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore, or when the app checks your entitlement, your device talks directly to Apple. Samplwitt receives only the entitlement status and a purchase identifier — never your Apple ID, payment method, or billing details. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Permissions Samplwitt asks for

Revoke any of these anytime in iOS Settings > Samplwitt. The app requests no microphone, location, contacts, or HealthKit access, and uses no tracking identifier.

What Samplwitt is not

Samplwitt is a personal recordkeeping and reference tool for a small-business owner notified of a state sales tax audit. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any state department of revenue, tax authority, tax-consulting service, accounting service, law firm, or government agency. It calculates no tax or savings, connects to no bank, does not decide whether an audit finding is correct, does not predict the outcome of a protest, files nothing on your behalf, and gives no legal, tax, or accounting advice. The state sales-tax references are general information only.

Children

Samplwitt is a business tool for U.S. adults who own or operate a business. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Keeping or deleting your data

Because everything lives only on your device, you are in full control. To remove all Samplwitt data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.

Where this applies

Samplwitt is published in English and offered in the United States; its sales-tax reference content is U.S.-specific. The app moves your data nowhere, so there is no international transfer to describe.

Changes

If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example if a later version introduced any sync, analytics, or third-party integration — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature ships. The date above reflects the latest revision.
