Tavora Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-06-17 · Last updated: 2026-06-17

In one paragraph. Tavora keeps your accusation cases, defense evidence, and any photos you attach on your iPhone, and nowhere else. There is no Tavora account and no Tavora server. The only moment the app uses the network is to ask Apple's StoreKit servers whether your subscription is active. Tavora talks to no Alcoholic Beverage Control board and to no other agency.

1. Who publishes Tavora

Tavora is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.

2. The privacy promise, answered as questions

Is there a Tavora server holding my accusation and defense records?

No. There is no Tavora server. Your accusation cases, defense-evidence entries, hearing-stage history, and deadlines live in this app's local SwiftData store on your iPhone. We cannot read them, restore them, or move them.

What about the photos I attach to evidence?

Photos are optional and stay on your device. If you choose to attach a photo to a defense-evidence entry, Tavora either captures it with the device camera or lets you select existing photos from your photo library using Apple's system photo picker, then stores the image bytes in the same local store as the rest of your records. Tavora does not upload photos anywhere and keeps no document or file library. If you never attach a photo, Tavora is still a complete defense log.

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

No. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier in the app. We do not know how often you open it, which screens you visit, how many accusations you log, or whether you subscribed — except through Apple's standard, aggregate developer sales reports.

How does Tavora compute my deadlines and reference state ABC law?

Entirely on your iPhone, with deterministic rule-based logic. The app counts the days until your Notice of Defense, hearing, and appeal deadlines, and looks up the ABC-law and hearing-procedure content bundled for your state. That reference content (charge types, hearing procedure, remedy ladders) is bundled data we update through ordinary App Store releases. None of this is sent anywhere.

Do you talk to any state ABC board, government system, or law firm?

No. Tavora makes no API calls to any Alcoholic Beverage Control board, any government system, the SBA, any hospitality association, or any law firm. Every reference to those bodies is bundled lookup content. The app cannot and does not file a defense, request a hearing, or check a case on your behalf.

Does anything go to my iCloud or Apple ID?

No. Tavora does not declare the iCloud entitlement; there is no CloudKit container and no remote sync. Your records are included in your standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backup) when those are enabled — that is Apple's normal backup behavior for all on-device data, not a Tavora feature.

3. What the app stores on your device

This data is included in your standard iOS Backups when you have those enabled. We do not have access to your iOS Backups — only Apple does, under their published privacy terms. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, the data cannot be recovered. There is no in-app data export, import, or backup feature beyond the PDFs and letters you choose to generate.

4. On-device features that touch system frameworks

5. Subscriptions and StoreKit

Tavora offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) via Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore a purchase, or when the app verifies your entitlement, your device communicates directly with Apple's servers. Tavora receives only the entitlement status (active or inactive) and a purchase identifier. We do not see your Apple ID, payment method, billing address, or transaction history. Apple's handling of subscription information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

6. Permissions the app requests

You can revoke any of these at any time in iOS Settings > Tavora. Tavora requests no photo library, no microphone, no location, no HealthKit, and no contacts permission.

7. What Tavora is not

Tavora is a personal recordkeeping and reminder tool for liquor licensees organizing a defense to an ABC accusation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any state Alcoholic Beverage Control board, any government agency, any hospitality or alcohol-industry association, or any law firm. It uses no government logo or mark, implies no official endorsement, and submits records to no government system. It does not facilitate the sale, service, purchase, or consumption of alcohol. It does not provide legal advice, does not determine whether an accusation is valid, does not predict any hearing outcome, and does not guarantee that any record will satisfy a board, a hearing officer, or a court. References to state ABC law are based on publicly available regulatory content and are reference-only.

8. Children's privacy

Tavora is a tool intended for U.S. adults who hold or are applying for an alcohol license, or who advise such licensees. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

9. Data retention and deletion

Because all data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all Tavora data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.

10. Regional scope

Tavora is published in English and marketed in the United States. The reference data (state ABC law and hearing procedure) is U.S.-specific. The app does not transfer your data internationally because it does not transfer your data anywhere.

11. Changes to this policy

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