Is there a WayGrant server holding my easement records?
No. There is no WayGrant server. Your parcels, easements, monitoring and dispute entries, and reminders live in this app's local SwiftData store on your iPhone. We cannot read them, restore them, or move them.
Does WayGrant know where my land is?
No. WayGrant requests no location permission, contains no MapKit or CoreLocation, and stores no parcel boundaries or coordinates. By deliberate design it is not a map or GIS viewer. The location of an easement is just text you type ("across the north 40, from the county road"), held on your device like any other field.
Do you talk to my county recorder, a title company, or any public-records system?
No. WayGrant makes no API calls to any county recorder or clerk, title company, registry, or public-records service. It does not perform title searches and cannot submit, record, or verify anything on your behalf. The deed book and page you enter is a text reference you copy from your own deed — the app does not fetch it.
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 easements you track, or whether you subscribed — except through Apple's standard, aggregate developer sales reports.
How does the 50-state easement-law reference work?
Entirely on your iPhone. The reference content (prescriptive-easement periods, recording requirements, termination doctrines, and how-to-find guidance, by state) is bundled data we update through ordinary App Store releases, drawn from publicly available state sources. It is general information, not legal advice, and nothing about looking it up is sent anywhere.
Does anything go to my iCloud or Apple ID?
No. WayGrant 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 WayGrant feature.
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, your data is permanently lost. There is no in-app data export, import, or backup feature beyond easement summary PDF generation.
aps-environment entitlement.WayGrant 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. WayGrant 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.
You can revoke either permission at any time in iOS Settings > WayGrant. WayGrant requests no camera, no microphone, no photo library, no location, no HealthKit, and no contacts permission.
WayGrant is a personal recordkeeping and reminder tool for landowners. It is not a law firm, a title company, or a parcel-map / GIS service. It does not provide legal advice, does not perform title searches, does not access public records, and shows no map. Records you keep in WayGrant have no legal or recording effect; legal recording of an easement occurs only at your county recorder's or clerk's office. References to state easement law are based on publicly available regulatory content and are reference-only — consult a real-estate attorney for any actual easement question.
WayGrant is a property-records tool intended for U.S. adults who own or manage land. We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.
Because all data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all WayGrant data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.
WayGrant is published in English and marketed in the United States. The reference data (state easement-law requirements) is U.S.-specific. The app does not transfer your data internationally because it does not transfer your data anywhere.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example, if a later version ever introduces any sync, analytics, location, 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.
