Privacy Policy

1. Executive Summary

This Privacy Policy governs the BunkSafe software application ("the App", "BunkSafe") developed by Mehraab Singh ("Developer", "we", "us") for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It explains how information is stored, processed, and safeguarded when you use the App.

Our engineering approach is rooted in Apple’s privacy-by-design philosophy: we collect zero personal data, operate zero tracking analytics, and store everything locally on your personal device or inside your private Apple iCloud account.

2. Zero Personal Data Collection

BunkSafe does not require an account, profile, email address, phone number, or password. You can install and use the entire application immediately upon download without registering.

We do not collect or store:

• Your real name, student ID, email address, or college name
• Your location, GPS coordinates, or IP address logs
• Your course codes, professor contact information, or marks
• Your device advertising identifier (IDFA) or vendor identifier (IDFV)

3. On-Device Storage & SQLite / SwiftData

All attendance logs, courses, lecture timetables, and exam plans are stored locally on your device hardware within the application's secure sandboxed database (using SQLite and Apple SwiftData).

Because this database resides exclusively within your iPhone or iPad sandbox, the developer has no technical ability to access, inspect, or transfer your records.

4. Apple iCloud & CloudKit Synchronization

If you choose to enable cross-device synchronization, BunkSafe uses Apple’s native CloudKit infrastructure. This enables your attendance data to sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

• Private Database Container: All synced records are stored inside your private Apple CloudKit container associated with your personal Apple ID.
• End-to-End Security: Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using Apple’s secure encryption keys.
• Zero Third-Party Servers: Data travels directly between your device and Apple’s servers. The developer does not operate any intermediary proxy or database server.
• User Control: You can turn off iCloud sync at any time via iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Saved to iCloud → BunkSafe.

5. Apple Calendar & EventKit Integration

BunkSafe provides an optional integration with Apple Calendar via Apple's native EventKit framework to allow automatic export of your class timetables and exam schedules into your personal calendar.

• Permission-Based Access: BunkSafe will explicitly request iOS permission before reading or creating calendar events.
• Local Processing Only: Any interaction with EventKit occurs strictly on your device processor. Calendar data is never transmitted to any external server or third party.
• Revocation: You can revoke Calendar permissions at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Calendars → BunkSafe.

6. Interactive Widgets & Local Notifications

BunkSafe offers Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets built with Apple's WidgetKit:

• Widget Execution: Widget taps and attendance updates are processed entirely on-device without external web service calls.
• Local Notifications: Attendance warnings and morning class alerts are scheduled locally via the iOS UserNotifications framework. BunkSafe does not use remote push notification servers.

7. No Advertising or Third-Party Tracking

BunkSafe is 100% ad-free. We do not integrate third-party advertising SDKs (such as Google AdMob, Unity, or Meta Ads) and we do not use third-party user behavioral tracking services (such as Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or AppsFlyer).

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade any user information with data brokers or marketing firms.

8. Data Control, Export & Permanent Deletion

You have absolute ownership and control over all data created within BunkSafe:

• Local Database Purge: You can permanently wipe all courses, attendance records, and timetable data from the app at any time by going to Settings → Privacy & Data → Delete All Semester Data.
• Uninstalling the App: Removing the app from your iOS device immediately deletes all local sandboxed data.
• iCloud Removal: You can delete any CloudKit backup stored in iCloud via iOS Settings → [Your Apple ID] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → BunkSafe → Delete Documents and Data.

9. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

BunkSafe is designed for college and university students. Because BunkSafe does not collect any personal information whatsoever, it fully complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international data protection standards.

10. Contact Information & App Store Inquiries
