Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

DepositPacket CA is an iPhone documentation app operated by TaoApex Limited. It helps you organize California security-deposit deduction cases. It is not a law firm, legal advice service, or evidence-admissibility guarantee.

1. Information you choose to process

The app can process the information you enter or import into a case, including:

  • property and tenancy details, such as an address, unit, tenant name, lease dates, and deposit amount;
  • move-in, move-out-before-repair, and after-repair photos, notes, timestamps, room labels, and imported receipt, invoice, estimate, or other files;
  • deduction descriptions, categories, amounts, repair dates, and links to supporting evidence;
  • packet manifests, generated PDF/ZIP artifacts, and file hashes used to describe an export;
  • local reminders and inspection records that you ask the app to create; and
  • account information supplied by Sign in with Apple, such as an Apple subject identifier, email address when Apple provides one, and display name when you choose to share it.

Do not enter information that you are not authorized to collect or manage. Tenancy records and photos may contain personal or sensitive information, so review each import before saving or sharing it.

2. Local-first processing and optional sync

The core workflow is designed to work on the iPhone without an internet connection. Local properties, cases, evidence, notes, and locally generated exports remain on the device until you erase them, delete the app, or choose to sync them.

If you sign in with Apple and use sync, the configured DepositPacket CA service receives the records and files needed to recover your case across devices. The service uses a Cloudflare Worker, D1 database, and private R2 object storage. R2 objects are not public; authenticated requests are required to read them. You decide whether to sign in and whether to retry or complete uploads.

The app does not automatically read email, messages, school portals, tenant accounts, or other apps. It only receives content that you explicitly enter, import, or share.

3. How information is used

We use information to authenticate your account, save and sync the cases you request, organize evidence and deductions, calculate product deadline views, generate documentation packets, restore your files, provide support, and protect the service. We do not sell your property, tenancy, evidence, or packet content, and the service does not use advertising or cross-app tracking.

The app does not use your records to decide whether a deduction is lawful, provide legal advice, or make a court prediction.

4. Retention, deletion, and backups

You can delete individual local records and files in the app. Settings also provides Erase local data and, when signed in, Delete account. Account deletion requests deletion of the associated database records and private cloud files. A device can still contain offline data until you erase local data or delete the app.

Some operational logs or backups may persist for a limited period where needed for security, fraud prevention, dispute handling, or legal obligations. We do not retain an account after a completed deletion request except where a legal obligation requires it.

5. Service providers

  • Apple provides iOS, Photos, Files, camera permissions, local notifications, Sign in with Apple, and App Store services.
  • Cloudflare provides the request-hosting, D1 database, and private R2 storage used by the optional sync service.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. DepositPacket CA does not use an advertising network or a third-party AI service to analyze your evidence.

6. Children and California data

DepositPacket CA is designed for adults managing property records and is not directed to children. Do not use it to collect a minor's information unless you have a lawful reason and the required authority. California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, or limit certain uses of personal information. Contact us so we can verify and handle a request.

7. Your choices and contact

You can use the product offline, decline Sign in with Apple, choose which files to import, retry uploads later, export your packet locally, erase local data, and delete your account. For privacy requests, contact privacy@taoapex.com. For product support, contact support@taoapex.com. Please include “DepositPacket CA” in the subject and do not email evidence files unless support asks for them.

We may update this policy when the app's data flows change. The effective date above will be updated for material changes.
