Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Novarch LLC ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use HandleMe for iPhone (the "App"). HandleMe creates digital business cards, shares them by QR, image, or file, and saves cards you receive. Your cards stay on your device. By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

  1. Information We Collect

    HandleMe does not collect the contents of your business cards or the cards you save from others. That information is stored locally on your device and is used by the App to provide its features.

    1. Card and App Data Stored on Your Device

      You may choose to enter information into the App, including:

      • Your name, headline, bio, and profile photo
      • Links such as social profiles, websites, email, or phone
      • Card style, theme, and layout preferences
      • Cards you receive and save from other people
      • App settings such as light or dark mode

      This information stays on your device and is not collected by Novarch LLC during normal app use.

    2. Camera and QR Scanning

      Scanning a QR code to receive a card uses your device camera. The camera is used only to read the code in the moment. The scanned card is saved on your device, and HandleMe does not send your camera feed to Novarch LLC.

    3. Beta and Support Information

      If you join the TestFlight beta, submit feedback, or contact us for support, we may receive the information you provide, such as your email or Telegram handle, feedback, bug reports, screenshots, or other details included in your message.

    4. Store and Purchase Reports

      Apple and your device may provide install, crash, purchase, or performance information under their own privacy policies. HandleMe does not require a Novarch LLC account and does not keep your cards in a company cloud account.

    5. Permissions

      The App may request access to your camera for QR scanning and to your photo library when you add a profile photo or share a card as an image. You can manage these permissions at any time through your device settings.

  2. How We Use Your Information

    1. To Provide Main App Features

      The App uses data stored on your device to create your card, generate QR codes, share by QR, image, or file, and keep a searchable collection of cards you receive. Novarch LLC does not receive this card data during normal use.

    2. To Provide HandleMe Premium

      If you purchase HandleMe Premium, the App unlocks Premium features on your device. Apple processes the purchase and confirms entitlement. Novarch LLC does not receive or store your full payment details.

    3. To Communicate With You

      We may use information you submit through beta channels, support requests, or feedback to manage tester access, respond to questions, look into issues, and provide product-related notices.

    4. To Maintain Safety and Compliance

      We may use limited information to prevent misuse, fix problems, protect our rights, follow the law, and enforce applicable terms or App Store rules.

  3. Sharing Your Information

    Novarch LLC does not collect, sell, or rent your HandleMe cards or saved contacts. Limited information may be shared only in the following circumstances:

    1. With Your Consent

      When you share your card by QR, image, or file, you are the one choosing to send it. The card goes directly through the method and recipient you select on your device.

    2. With Service Providers

      Apple processes App Store delivery, purchases, and beta access. Optional support or problem-reporting tools may process limited information you submit when you contact us.

    3. For Legal Compliance

      We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, government request, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Novarch LLC, users, or others.

  4. Data Security

    We use reasonable protections appropriate to an app that keeps your cards and saved contacts on your device. However, no method of electronic storage, device storage, or transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your device, device passcode, operating system account, and any files or images you choose to export or share.

  5. Your Choices

    You can manage your information and privacy choices through the App and your device settings, including:

    • Editing or deleting your card details and links
    • Searching, reviewing, or deleting cards you have saved
    • Choosing when and how to share a card
    • Managing camera and photo library permissions
    • Uninstalling the App to remove local app data from your device
  6. HandleMe Premium and Purchases

    HandleMe offers HandleMe Premium as a one-time, lifetime in-app purchase. Premium unlocks additional features for the lifetime of the App on your account, with no recurring subscription. Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store. Novarch LLC does not directly receive or store your full payment card details. Apple processes payments, refunds, purchase history, and related account data under its own privacy policy and terms. Apple may share limited purchase confirmation with the App so it can unlock and restore your Premium entitlement on your devices.

  7. Data Storage and Backup

    HandleMe stores your card and saved contacts on your device. Novarch LLC does not collect these records during normal app use. If your device backs up app data through iCloud or another service, or if you export or share a card as an image or file, that destination's privacy and security practices apply.

  8. Children's Privacy

    HandleMe is not directed to children under the age required by your region's app store and privacy laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through a support or beta channel, contact us so we can address it.

  9. Analytics and Problem Reports

    HandleMe does not require analytics to provide its main features. The App Store, your device, or optional problem-reporting tools may provide crash logs, performance information, device model, operating system version, and app version. This information is used to understand problems, improve stability, and maintain the App. It is not used to build an advertising profile from your cards or contacts.

  10. Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date and post the revised policy on this page or through another appropriate product or store channel. Continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
