Your VA-claim evidence archive lives on your iPhone — service periods, service-connected conditions, witness statements, medical encounters, document-reference text, HealthKit-derived trend displays, the whole record. There are no ServiceArchive servers. There is no ServiceArchive cloud. There is no analytics ingestion pipeline. Apple StoreKit handles purchase information and access verification. User-chosen PDF sharing, device backups, legal-page requests and support correspondence have the separate handling described below. The App does not upload HealthKit samples to a developer-operated service.
ServiceArchive is published by an independent iOS developer operating under Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F. Questions about anything below should be sent to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
The App does not automatically upload your archive to a developer-operated server and does not collect advertising identifiers, device location or behavioral analytics. The following record content is processed locally; user-directed PDF exports, support messages and system services are separate:
The features that look like they might call out to a server do not. Specifically:
Updated builds request only the four HealthKit types used by the dashboard: resting heart rate, heart rate variability, step count and sleep analysis. Earlier installed builds may also request ordinary heart rate and active energy access, although the dashboard does not query those two types. Installing an update does not automatically revoke permissions previously granted to the App. Review or revoke individual access in Apple Health. Disabling the dashboard display does not itself change Health permissions, and the App does not write health samples. In the updated dashboard, no usable asleep samples or a failed sleep read is shown as unavailable, not as zero hours. Sleep values use the existing seven-day window calculation when usable asleep samples are present. An unavailable result cannot distinguish declined Health access from missing matching data. With dashboard display enabled, the updated dashboard rereads available metrics when it appears in the foreground, when the App returns to the foreground (including from Apple Health), and after its Health authorization request completes. Prior displayed values are cleared while refreshing. Leaving the foreground or switching display off clears this temporary dashboard state. A task already canceled before it starts refreshing leaves newer displayed values and in-progress reads untouched; late results from an earlier or canceled refresh cannot replace a newer result. The display preference is saved locally. Completion of a Health authorization request, whether successful or failed, does not change the user’s latest display choice or turn a disabled display back on. A request that has not started is skipped if display is already off or that task is canceled. This is not deletion of samples in Apple Health, a change to Health permissions, or continuous background monitoring. Empty or failed reads remain unavailable. Older installed versions may require reopening the dashboard or App until updated.
Each iOS permission is requested only when the corresponding feature needs it:
Manage HealthKit read access in Apple Health; manage the other available permissions in iOS Settings → ServiceArchive.
ServiceArchive offers an Annual auto-renewing subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase through Apple’s StoreKit. Monthly is no longer offered to new purchasers, while verified active historical Monthly subscriptions and supported previous product identifiers can continue to unlock Pro. Introductory offers apply only when Apple confirms eligibility and the purchase sheet displays the offer; a trial is not guaranteed for every user. Loading products, purchasing, checking eligibility, restoring purchases and verifying current access communicate with Apple. The app processes verified product and entitlement information, including renewal, expiry or revocation where applicable. Apple handles payment; we do not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account password. Restore Purchases rechecks eligible paid access and does not restore your local records.
Under 38 USC Section 5901, only VA-accredited attorneys, claims agents, and Veterans Service Organization representatives may represent veterans before the VA. ServiceArchive does not represent veterans before the VA, does not file VA forms (21-526EZ, 20-0995, 20-0996, 21-10210, 21-22, and so on) on your behalf, and does not provide legal advice. For accredited representation, look up an attorney or claims agent in the VA Office of General Counsel accreditation database, or contact a VSO — DAV, VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, MOPH, and many others provide free accredited representation.
ServiceArchive does not use artificial intelligence, machine learning, or cloud processing on your veteran, medical, health, or HealthKit data. It does not attempt to predict VA decisions. It does not produce an official combined rating the VA is obligated to accept; the in-app calculator is informational only, intended to show the user where their evidence currently sits against the VA combined-rating table. It does not draft appeal letters and does not promise any claim outcome. The mappers produce reference-only output derived from publicly available VA regulations.
ServiceArchive does not share your records with the VA, the VBA, the VHA, the DoD, the NPRC, or any other U.S. government agency. It does not share with any commercial VA-claims service or law firm. It does not share with any VSO, pharmaceutical company, insurance carrier, or research database. There is no advertising SDK, analytics SDK, AI provider, or marketing-data partnership embedded in the app. If a future release ever introduces such an integration, it will be strictly opt-in and disclosed in-app before any data leaves your device.
Confirmed deletion removes the selected local record after a successful save, with no in-app trash or Recently Deleted recovery. Deleting a condition also removes its linked medical encounters, C&P exams, lay statements and buddy statements. Deleting a service period removes its linked service events. Other records, preferences and independently generated PDFs are not a complete-archive wipe. Deleting an exam directly cancels its linked pending reminder; deleting a condition through the cascade does not perform that same reminder cleanup. Pending alerts can therefore remain separately and must not be treated as proof that a record still exists.
The App has no full-archive export/import or database restore. Generated PDFs are readable copies, not restorable archives. Removing the App can remove its local container, while widget summaries, externally saved PDFs, support correspondence, Apple records and older device backups are separate. Device-backup recovery requires a usable completed copy and Apple's process and is not guaranteed. We hold no developer-operated archive to retrieve or erase.
The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children. The App Store age rating reflects this.
ServiceArchive is published in English and is primarily marketed to U.S. veterans. The App does not automatically upload archive records to a developer-operated server. Apple services, website hosting, support correspondence and destinations you select for PDFs can process information outside your region under their own practices.
If the app ever changes how it handles your data, this page is updated and the change is surfaced in-app before the affected feature can be used. The “Last revised” date above always reflects the most recent revision.
ServiceArchive's widget displays locally prepared summaries of app records. The app and its widget exchange the relevant summary and preferences through an on-device shared container; this is not a developer-operated record upload. Information displayed by a widget can be visible to people able to view the Home Screen or Lock Screen where it is placed. Use the widget and device display settings to control that visibility. Screenshots and independent copies remain separate from the records you later edit or delete.

The one-year decision-letter anniversary is a reference for continuous-pursuit and effective-date considerations, subject to applicable rules and exceptions. It is not a general deadline that prohibits filing a later Supplemental Claim, and 38 CFR 3.156(c) is not the basis for a universal one-year filing bar. Confirm your situation with a VA-accredited representative. The updated App uses decision-date reference wording.
The current in-app offers are Annual and Lifetime, with verified historical Monthly access retained. Apple’s purchase confirmation shows the actual price and eligible offer. Older store descriptions or installed versions can contain earlier wording until their App Store update is published; this website does not change Apple’s listing.
PDFs are generated locally from the records included by the selected format. They are readable personal reference documents, not official VA forms, a full-archive backup or a recovery file. The Initial Claim format includes service history, conditions, service events and medical encounters; lay and buddy statements are included only in formats that support those sections. The buddy statement export is a personal companion, not the official VA Form 21-10210.
The updated PDF layout continues long paragraphs across pages, wraps long fields and reserves space for footers and signatures. Older installed versions and PDFs already generated by them retain their earlier behavior and may contain clipped content. Installing an update does not repair previously exported files; generate a new PDF from the retained records and review it before sharing. Files kept in the App and copies you save or share remain separate from later record edits or deletions.
