Privacy policy
The short version: Plunkit has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your trips, items and photos stay on your iPhone, and I never receive them.
Who I am
Plunkit is made by Saeed Safrini, an independent developer. In this policy, "I" and "me" mean Saeed Safrini. You can reach me at saeed.safrini@outlook.com.
What I collect
Nothing. Plunkit doesn't ask you to create an account, and the app doesn't send your packing data, photos, notes or location to me or to any server I run. I don't operate a server that stores your data, and Plunkit contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or other third-party code.
What stays on your iPhone
Everything you create in Plunkit is saved in the app's private storage on your iPhone:
- trips, bags, items, quantities, packing checks, presets and reminders;
- the final image of each item you save (a cutout or crop) and its thumbnail;
- your preferences, such as your home country and whether packing haptics are on.
Plunkit doesn't sync with iCloud. Your iPhone's own backups (iCloud Backup or a backup to a computer) may include the app's data, depending on your device settings; that is handled by Apple, not by me. Deleting an item or trip in the app removes it, and deleting the app removes all of its data from your iPhone.
Camera and photos
- Camera. Plunkit uses the camera only while you scan an item. The original capture is temporary and is discarded once you accept or cancel; only the final item image and its thumbnail are kept.
- Photos you import. Plunkit reads only the photos you choose. It never changes or deletes your originals, and it doesn't copy a photo's location data into the saved image.
On-device recognition and ideas
Recognizing an item, lifting it out of its background, and suggesting a name or companion items happen on your iPhone, using Apple's Vision framework and, on iPhones that support Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model. Plunkit doesn't send your images, names or notes to a cloud model. Suggestions can be wrong, so check them before you rely on them.
Location (optional)
If you allow it, Plunkit asks for your approximate location once, while the app is open, to suggest a home country for plug and trip defaults. The coordinates are looked up through Apple Maps, which returns a country, and only that country is saved. Plunkit doesn't track your location in the background. You can say no, choose a country yourself, or change the permission at any time in iOS Settings.
Destination search and weather (Apple services)
When you give a trip a destination city, Plunkit uses Apple services to find the place and to fetch its forecast:
- the place name you type is sent to Apple Maps to search for the city;
- the destination's coordinates are sent to Apple Weather (WeatherKit) to get the forecast for your dates.
Plunkit doesn't include your photos, packing list, notes or the full trip title in these requests, and weather doesn't use your current location. Apple handles those requests under Apple's privacy policy. Weather data is provided by Apple Weather, and the app links to Apple's data sources page.
Motion and haptics
Plunkit reads your iPhone's motion sensors so packed items can move when you tilt or shake the phone. That data is used on the spot and never stored or sent anywhere. Haptics are local feedback and can be turned off in Settings.
Notifications
If you ask for a packing reminder and allow notifications, Plunkit schedules a local notification on your iPhone. It shows the trip name and how many items are left, never photos. Plunkit doesn't use remote push notifications.
Links to other sites
Some screens link to outside reference pages, such as plug and voltage guides or Apple's weather data sources. They open in your browser and are covered by those sites' own policies.
Reports from Apple
If you've turned on "Share With App Developers" in iOS Settings, Apple may give me anonymous crash and usage statistics through App Store Connect. They don't identify you, and Plunkit adds nothing to them.
Children
Plunkit isn't directed at children, and because it collects no personal information, it doesn't collect any from children either.
Your choices and rights
Because I don't hold your data, there is nothing for me to export, correct or delete on your behalf. You are in control of everything on your iPhone: edit or delete items and trips in the app, remove unused images in Settings, change permissions in iOS Settings, or delete the app. If you have a question or a request, write to saeed.safrini@outlook.com.
Changes to this policy
If Plunkit's behavior changes in a way that affects your privacy, I'll update this page and its date before the change reaches you.
