3. Notencheck App

3.1 Principle: local storage

The Notencheck app stores all data exclusively locally on your device and optionally in your personal, private iCloud. No data is transmitted to the developer or any third party.

3.2 What data the app stores

The app stores only the data you enter yourself:

  • Achievements: Unlocked achievements (locally)

3.3 iCloud synchronization

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, the app automatically synchronizes your data via Apple's CloudKit (private iCloud database). Apple's privacy policy applies:

  • Data is stored in your personal, private iCloud database
  • Only you have access — neither the developer nor Apple can view this data
  • More information: Apple's Privacy Policy

You can disable iCloud sync at any time in iOS Settings under Apple ID → iCloud → Notencheck.

3.4 Push notifications

Exam reminders are scheduled as local notifications directly on your device. No server is contacted in this process. The app does not use remote push notifications.

You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings under Settings → Notifications → Notencheck.

3.5 Photos / Profile picture

If you upload a profile picture, the app accesses your photo library with your permission (restricted access via PhotosPicker). The selected image is stored exclusively locally and in your iCloud.
