All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. Photos and media are stored in the app's sandboxed Documents directory.
Your data is protected by your device's built-in security features including device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. The app does not implement additional encryption beyond what iOS provides.
There are no cloud servers, no remote backups, and no data transmission. If you delete the app or reset your device, your data will be permanently lost as there is no external backup.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with any third parties.
Equitem does not contain any third-party SDKs, analytics services, advertising frameworks, or external APIs. The app is entirely self-contained with zero network dependencies.
