Privacy Policy | ReadyLife

The short version

The ReadyLife iPhone app does not collect your data. It does not require an account, contains no advertising or analytics SDKs, and does not upload your documents, document text, names, identifiers, or household details to ReadyLife.

Documents and structured details are stored in an encrypted vault on your device. Text recognition, document understanding, and search happen on-device. ReadyLife currently has no cloud sync or server copy of your vault.

Information you choose to keep in ReadyLife

You may add document photos, scans, PDFs, extracted text, document numbers, names, dates, issuers, household profiles, profile photos, and reminder preferences. This can include highly sensitive information and information about family members.

This information is used only on your device to organize the vault, show document details, power search, and schedule reminders you request. It is not transmitted to or accessible by ReadyLife.

On-device processing

ReadyLife uses Apple system frameworks to recognize text and, when available, Apple Intelligence to suggest structured document details. That processing happens on your device. ReadyLife asks you to review extracted information before saving because automated recognition can be incomplete or incorrect.

Search also runs locally and only after your vault is unlocked.

What leaves your device

The iPhone app

ReadyLife v1 does not send app content or usage analytics to ReadyLife or to advertising companies. It has no account system, remote database, advertising SDK, or tracking technology. ReadyLife does not sell or share personal information.

This website

When you visit this website, its hosting provider necessarily processes standard request information such as your IP address, browser information, requested page, and request time to deliver and protect the site. ReadyLife does not use website advertising trackers, behavioral analytics, or marketing cookies.

Apple may process information through iOS, the App Store, and Apple services under Apple’s own terms and privacy policies. ReadyLife does not receive your document content from those services.

Device permissions

Camera: used only when you choose to scan a document.
Photos: used only to import images you select.
Files: used only to import a PDF or file you select.
Face ID or device authentication: used by iOS to unlock ReadyLife’s encryption key. ReadyLife does not receive your biometric data.
Notifications: used to deliver document reminders you enable. Notification details can be hidden in ReadyLife’s settings.

You can change camera, photo, biometric, and notification permissions in iOS Settings.

Security and backups

ReadyLife encrypts vault data and document files on-device using AES-GCM. The encryption key is protected in the iOS Keychain and requires Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode. Stored files also use iOS complete file protection, and ReadyLife locks when it moves to the background.

The ReadyLife vault directory is excluded from device backups. ReadyLife currently provides no cloud backup, sync, or recovery service. If your device is lost, damaged, erased, or inaccessible, ReadyLife cannot restore your vault.

No security measure can guarantee absolute protection. Keeping iOS updated and protecting your device passcode remain important.

Retention and deletion

Your vault remains on your device until you delete individual items, choose Erase all Ready data in ReadyLife’s Settings, or remove the app. Erasing all Ready data deletes the encrypted vault, document files, and ReadyLife’s encryption key from the device. This cannot be undone because ReadyLife has no server copy.

Removing the app deletes its local app container under iOS. If you want ReadyLife to remove its Keychain encryption key as well, use Erase all Ready data before uninstalling.

Children’s information

ReadyLife is intended for adults organizing their own or their household’s documents. It is not directed to children. If you add information about a child or another person, you are responsible for having the authority to store it and for using it appropriately. That information remains in the local encrypted vault and is not collected by ReadyLife.

Your choices

You control what you add, which permissions you grant, whether reminders show document details, and when information is deleted. Because ReadyLife has no account or server copy of your vault, there is no remote personal-data profile for ReadyLife to access, export, correct, or delete.

Changes to this policy

ReadyLife’s capabilities may evolve. If a future version adds cloud sync, accounts, analytics, or other processing that changes these practices, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosures will be updated before that processing is introduced. The effective date at the top shows when this policy was last revised.
