Shop Order Book Privacy Policy
Effective October 24, 2026
Summary
Shop Order Book is developed by KO YUN LIU. The app is designed to run locally on your iPhone or iPad. We do not collect, transmit, store, or have access to any of the customer requests, notes, or photos you enter into the app.
Data stored on your device
All records you create—including customer names or contact notes, item descriptions, exact customer wording, what you promised, review dates, hold deadlines and locations, item quantities and arrival progress, contact outcomes, status history, and drafts—are stored exclusively on your device. The app requires no user account, no login, and no internet connection to record or manage your requests, and it does not use iCloud or any external server.
Photos
You may optionally attach one photo to a request or share a single image into a draft using the system Share Sheet. When you pick a photo inside the app, Shop Order Book uses Apple's system photo picker to select one image at a time. The app does not access your camera, does not read your full photo library, and never requests system photo library permissions. Selected images are stored locally inside the app's on-device storage.
Notifications
Notifications are optional. Shop Order Book only requests notification permission if you tap Enable review reminders. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device for your chosen time on review dates. Every notification uses the fixed title "Review your requests" and the fixed body "You have requests to check. Open the app for details." so that no customer names, items, or notes are ever displayed on your lock screen.
Backups you export
When you choose More options and tap Export private backup, the app generates a single JSON file containing all of your saved records and attached photos and lets you save it to a location of your choice in the Files app. Because this backup file may contain personal information about your customers, you are solely responsible for storing and protecting the exported file securely.
Purchases
Shop Order Book offers an optional one-time in-app purchase, Shop Order Book Pro (priced at US$9.99 in the United States, with prices in other regions determined by Apple and shown in your local App Store). All purchase and Restore Purchase transactions are processed directly by Apple through the App Store. The developer never receives your name, billing address, or payment card details.
Analytics, advertising, and tracking
Shop Order Book contains no analytics tools, no third-party SDKs, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind.
Sharing
Because the developer does not receive or collect any user data, no information is ever sold, shared, or disclosed to third parties. Data only leaves the app if you choose to export a private backup file to the Files app.
Retention and deletion
Your records remain on your device for as long as you keep the app installed. Inside the app, completed promises are marked as closed (and can be reopened if needed) rather than removed one by one. Restoring from a backup file replaces all current records in the app with the records in that backup file after your confirmation. Uninstalling Shop Order Book from your iPhone or iPad removes all locally stored app data from the device. Any backup files you previously exported to the Files app remain where you saved them until you remove those files yourself.
Children
Shop Order Book is a business utility for shopkeepers and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
