TradieTick ("the App") is developed by Quyen Ngo. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the App.
When you paste a quote or attach a photo of a quote, the text and image data is sent to our backend service for analysis. The backend forwards the content to Anthropic (the AI provider) to generate the analysis. Quote content is not stored on our servers after the analysis is returned to your device. Anthropic processes the data only to generate the analysis response and does not retain it for training or for any other purpose under our agreement with them.
The App requests permission to access your camera or photo library only when you choose to attach a photo of a quote. Photos remain on your device unless you submit them for analysis (see above). The App does not access your camera or photo library at any other time.
The App generates a stable anonymous identifier stored in your device's iCloud Key-Value Store. This identifier is used to track your remaining quote-analysis credits and apply per-user usage limits (preventing abuse of the AI service). It is not linked to your Apple ID, email, name, or any other personally identifiable information.
When you buy a quote-analysis pack via In-App Purchase, Apple sends our backend the Apple-issued transaction ID and product ID for that purchase. We store these so we can credit the correct number of analyses to your anonymous identifier and prevent the same purchase being redeemed twice. We do not receive or store your name, email, payment card, billing address, or any other personally identifiable information from Apple — payment is handled entirely by Apple.
The App relies on the following third parties:
The App may link out to the official NSW Fair Trading Public Register (verify.licence.nsw.gov.au) and similar state registers. The App is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to NSW Fair Trading or any other Australian state, territory, or federal government body. When you tap a verification link, you are visiting the official government site directly — we do not display, redisplay, or proxy government licence data inside the App.
Quote content and photos you submit for analysis are not retained on our servers after the analysis response is delivered to your device. Server logs that may incidentally contain technical metadata (timestamps, request sizes, error codes — never the content of your quotes) are kept for up to 30 days for operational purposes and then permanently deleted.
TradieTick is intended for adults. The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the App and reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
