Last Updated: November 1, 2026
Ink Well Keeper (“the app”) is built to keep your data yours. This policy explains what is collected, what isn't, and where your information goes.
The short version
- No accounts, no ads, no ad tracking, and no selling or sharing of your data.
- Your collection lives on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your private iCloud database.
- Anonymous usage statistics (TelemetryDeck) help improve the app.
- Some optional features send limited data to a service in order to work: AI features to OpenAI, and price alerts to Ink Well Keeper's own alert server. Each is described below.
Your collection data
Cards, decks, wishlists, photos you attach, and stats are stored on your device. If iCloud is on, they're also stored in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit, which only you can access; the developer can't read it. Deleting the app and its iCloud data (Settings › your name › iCloud) removes it entirely.
Camera
The camera is used only to recognize trading cards. Recognition happens on your device; scan images are not uploaded anywhere. Photos you deliberately attach to a card stay in your collection data. You can turn camera access off any time in iOS Settings.
Usage statistics
The app uses TelemetryDeck, a privacy-focused analytics service, to count which features are used (for example, “a scan happened”). Signals carry no names, emails, or advertising identifiers, and the device identifier is hashed on your device before it is sent, so it can't be traced back to you. Nothing is used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
AI features (Pro)
When you use the Rules Assistant or AI Deck Builder, the text of your request is sent to OpenAI along with the card information needed to answer it. When the Deck Builder's card source is set to My Collection, that includes the names and counts of the eligible cards you own. Nothing else from your collection, and nothing that identifies you, is sent. OpenAI processes these requests only to generate a response and, under its API terms, doesn't use them to train its models. Please don't include personal information in your questions.
Price alerts (optional)
If you turn on price alerts and allow notifications, the app registers with Ink Well Keeper's alert server so it can notify you. It sends:
- a random installation ID created by the app (not linked to your Apple Account or identity),
- your device's push notification token, and your time zone so digests arrive at a sensible hour,
- the cards and target prices you set, and your alert settings,
- for Pro collection alerts (price movers and the weekly digest), the cards and quantities you own, so the server can tell which of your cards moved,
- your anonymous RevenueCat ID, to check whether Pro alerts are included.
This is used only to send your alerts. It's deleted when you turn alerts off, and automatically once Apple reports the push token is no longer valid (for example, after you delete the app).
Prices, card data, and purchase links
Card data, images, and prices come from public sources (including Lorcast and Ravensburger's card data) and from Ink Well Keeper's own price server. These requests contain card identifiers, not personal data; like any web server, they can see your device's IP address. “Buy” buttons are affiliate links to third-party marketplaces (such as TCGplayer, eBay, and Cardmarket) with their own privacy policies; the app may earn a commission at no cost to you and receives no information about your purchases.
Purchases
Ink Well Keeper Pro and tips are purchased through Apple. Subscription status is managed by RevenueCat using an anonymous identifier. The developer never sees your name or payment details.
Deck sharing
Shared deck links and QR codes contain the deck list itself, not information about you. Anyone with the link can see the deck.
What we never do
- No ads, no ad tracking, and no selling or sharing of data with data brokers
- No accounts or sign-in
- No collection of names, emails, contacts, or location
Children
Ink Well Keeper is made for a general audience and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
- Delete cards, decks, or wishlist items at any time, or everything with Settings › Delete All Data.
- Export your collection from Settings.
- Turn off price alerts in the app, and notifications or camera access in iOS Settings.
- Skip the AI features if you'd rather nothing is sent to OpenAI.
Changes
Material changes will be posted here and in the app, with a new “Last Updated” date.
