Samplwitt is built by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). You can reach us at captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Where do my audit records live?
In the app's local SwiftData store. Copies you create through sharing, Calendar or device backup may also exist elsewhere. 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 has no dedicated bank-login, account-number or Social Security-number fields; user-entered text and photos can nevertheless contain sensitive information, without automatic redaction. 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 belonging to an audit case it belongs to. The photos are for your reference only — not automatically uploaded to us or a tax authority. User-directed sharing and Apple backups are separate. 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 may be 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.
Device-backup contents and recovery depend on your system settings, a successfully completed usable backup and Apple’s restoration process; enabling backup alone does not guarantee recovery of every record or original file. We cannot retrieve or restore your device backups.
Apple device backup may include these local records and files according to your settings and successful completion; it does not guarantee that every record or original photo will be recoverable. 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.
aps-environment entitlement.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.
Revoke any of these anytime in iOS Settings > Samplwitt. The app requests no microphone, location, contacts, or HealthKit access, and uses no tracking identifier.
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.
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.
Deleting an audit case also deletes its certificates and sampling objections, including photos stored on those records, after a successful save. There is no Recently Deleted or full-database archive import; a generated PDF cannot reconstruct the deleted tree.
Removing the App normally removes its local container, not independently kept original media, exported files, recipient copies or older backups. Manage those copies separately. Device-backup recovery requires a usable completed backup; the developer has no record archive to retrieve.
Samplwitt is published in English and offered in the United States; its sales-tax reference content is U.S.-specific. The App has no developer record-upload service. Apple, chosen calendar or sharing providers, website hosting and support correspondence process information under their own terms, and may process it in other countries.
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.

On iOS 17 and later, the Calendar action requests write-only access and does not import existing events. Event titles, dates, notes and alarms created by the app are saved to your system calendar, which may sync to a calendar-account provider or be visible to people sharing that calendar. These Calendar copies are outside the app’s local database and App Lock; deleting an app record or uninstalling the app does not guarantee removal of every calendar or synced copy. Manage those copies in Calendar and the relevant account.
These legal pages are hosted on Vercel. Opening a page sends ordinary request information, such as the IP address, browser information and requested URL, to the host for delivery and security; see Vercel’s Privacy Notice. This website request is separate from App record storage. If you email support, we receive the address and information you choose to send so we can respond. Send only the details needed for that request.
The updated App pauses the normal record interface if its persistent database cannot be opened and only a temporary in-memory store is available. New recording and editing through that interface are blocked. The App keeps the existing database and attachment files rather than treating the temporary empty store as your archive. Database-dependent startup work in that interface is paused; previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots or independent copies may remain.
Check available device storage, close and reopen the App, and contact support before deleting or reinstalling it. This recovery screen is not a backup, a repair guarantee or an automatic restoration of missing records. Older installed versions may behave differently until updated; publishing this document does not update an installed App.
The updated App checks audit-case, certificate and objection saves and deletion. Failure retains the original affected records, links and photo data, keeps the open form for retry, and does not roll back unrelated drafts. Invalid display-only amount text does not replace an existing amount. Open text entries and failed photo selections are held in memory until a successful write, not as restart-proof backups. New library selections are prepared as one batch; unreadable selections offer Retry or Clear, and failed writes offer Retry or Discard. Stored original photo data is not erased merely because an image preview cannot decode it.
A new certificate is saved as a placeholder before its editor opens and counts toward the free limit of 10 stored certificates per audit case. Cancel of a new certificate removes the row and its already-saved photos after a successful checked write; failure keeps it open. Photo additions/removals save independently from text. Cancel of an existing certificate discards current text edits but keeps saved photo changes. Opening a new sampling workbook also prepares a row; Cancel can clean an empty row but is not a draft-save command, and an interrupted session or canceled unsaved input can leave a placeholder. Review such rows in the case. Deleting a case cascades its certificates, attached photo data and objections after successful save; deleting one child leaves the other records. There is no Recently Deleted or archive import.
The evidence PDF includes case, certificate and objection text and decodable certificate photos. The protest-preparation checklist contains selected facts and steps, not the original photos or every workbook field. Neither output restores the original database or full record tree. Generated temporary PDFs, shared files, original system photos, Calendar copies and prior backups are separate from database deletion. The developer has no record archive. Reminder updates are attempted after successful case writes; a failed read can leave the prior plan, and scheduling/delivery is not guaranteed. Recorded dates and editable state-reference windows do not establish the legally correct starting event or filing deadline; verify the actual notice and authority process independently.
These changes require the updated App binary; publishing this document does not update an older installed App.
