Privacy

In Case is operated by Ardenholt LLC. For a product like this one, privacy is not a policy section — it is the architecture. This page describes what little we collect, and what we never receive at all.

Your vault: we never have it

Everything you put into the In Case app — accounts, documents, wishes, letters, contacts, all fifteen sections — is stored only on your device, encrypted at rest, behind your device passcode and Face ID / Touch ID. There is no In Case account, no cloud sync, and no server that holds a copy. We cannot read, recover, export, or hand over your vault, because it never touches infrastructure we operate. If you export or print your vault, the copy goes where you choose, under your control.

What we do collect

• Email address — only if you join the waitlist on this website. Used to email you about In Case and nothing else. This is the only personal data our servers hold.
• Payment information — purchases are handled by the App Store (Apple) or Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
• Standard server logs for this website — IP address, user-agent, request paths, retained ≤30 days for security and debugging.

What we don't do

• No analytics SDKs, ad SDKs, or trackers inside the app.
• No selling, renting, or sharing of personal data. Ever.
• No reading of the readiness check on this site — it runs entirely in your browser; your answers are never transmitted.
• No “emergency access” back door. The handoff to your family happens through copies you make and control — printed sheets and exports — not through us.

What happens if we shut down

Nothing, for your vault. The app works offline and does not depend on our servers. Your data outlives us by design.

Your rights

Ask us to delete your waitlist email anytime at [email protected] and we will, promptly. For your vault, deletion is in your hands — remove the app or wipe the vault in Settings; there is no server copy for us to delete.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date. We won't weaken the on-device promise — it is the product.
