Privacy Policy for AirInvite

Effective Date: January 25, 2026
Last Updated: January 25, 2026

Our Philosophy

AirInvite was built on a simple principle: your WiFi credentials and network data belong to you, and only you.

In a world where apps collect unnecessary data and send it to remote servers, we took a different path. AirInvite operates entirely on your device, with zero servers, zero tracking, and zero data collection.

This isn't just marketing—it's how the app is fundamentally designed.

The Short Version

✅ All data stays on your device (stored locally with SwiftData)
✅ No servers - We don't operate any backend infrastructure
✅ No tracking - No analytics, no telemetry, no usage data collection
✅ No account required - No email, no password, no login
✅ No third-party services - No advertising networks, no data brokers
✅ Optional iCloud - If you enable sync, it uses your private iCloud (end-to-end encrypted)

We literally cannot access your data, even if we wanted to.

Information We Collect

None.

AirInvite does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on external servers.

Information You Store Locally

When you use AirInvite, the following data is stored exclusively on your device:

WiFi Network Data

Network names (SSIDs)
WiFi passwords (encrypted at rest)
Security types (WPA2, WPA3, etc.)
Network configurations you create
QR code design preferences

User Preferences

App theme preferences (Light/Dark mode)
Face ID/Touch ID security preferences
Widget settings
Print template preferences
Onboarding completion status

Location: All of this data is stored locally on your iPhone/iPad using Apple's SwiftData framework. It never leaves your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync (see below).

How We Use Your Data

We don't.

Because your data never reaches us, we have no ability to use, analyze, or access it.

Your data is used exclusively by the app on your device to:

Generate QR codes for WiFi sharing
Create printable WiFi cards
Display network information in widgets
Respond to Siri commands
Sync your networks across your devices (if you enable iCloud)

Optional Features & Permissions

AirInvite requests the following permissions only when you use specific features. All are optional.

Camera

Purpose: To scan existing WiFi QR codes
How it works: Uses Apple's Vision framework to perform QR code detection entirely on-device
Data handling: QR codes are processed locally and never saved or transmitted
Permission: Only requested when you tap the "Scan QR Code" button

Face ID / Touch ID

Purpose: To protect your WiFi passwords with biometric authentication
How it works: Uses Apple's LocalAuthentication framework
Data handling: Biometric data never leaves your device's Secure Enclave
Permission: Only requested when you enable "Require Face ID" in Settings

Siri & Shortcuts

Purpose: To let you generate QR codes and access networks using voice commands
How it works: App Intents processed locally by iOS
Data handling: Voice data processed by Apple's Siri (see Apple's Privacy Policy), but network data stays local
Permission: Only requested when you use Siri features

iCloud Sync (Optional)

Purpose: To sync your WiFi networks across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac
How it works: Uses your private iCloud account with CloudKit
Data handling: Data is end-to-end encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud storage
Important: Even with iCloud enabled, we cannot access your data—it belongs to your Apple account
Permission: Only enabled if you add the iCloud capability and sign in with your Apple ID

Third-Party Services

We use none.

AirInvite does not integrate with:

❌ Analytics services (Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
❌ Crash reporting tools
❌ Advertising networks
❌ Social media platforms
❌ Cloud storage providers (except your optional private iCloud)

Data Sharing

We share nothing, because we have nothing to share.

Since your data never reaches our servers, there is no data for us to:

Sell to advertisers
Share with data brokers
Provide to analytics companies
Hand over to third parties

The only entity that can access your WiFi network data is you, on your device.

Data Security

Local Storage

All data is stored using Apple's SwiftData framework with iOS's built-in encryption
WiFi passwords are encrypted at rest on your device
If you enable Face ID protection, access is additionally gated by biometric authentication
App content is automatically hidden in the iOS App Switcher to prevent shoulder-surfing

Network Security

AirInvite makes no network requests whatsoever
All QR code generation happens locally on your device
No authentication tokens, API keys, or personal identifiers are transmitted

iCloud (If Enabled)

Data synced via iCloud uses Apple's end-to-end encryption
Encryption keys are derived from your device passcode and Apple ID
We do not have access to your iCloud data

Children's Privacy

AirInvite is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

However, because AirInvite operates entirely on-device with no data collection, there is no risk of children's data being collected or transmitted, even if they use the app.

Age Rating: 4+ (suitable for all ages, per Apple's rating system)

Your Rights

Access Your Data

Your data is already accessible to you—it's stored locally on your device in the AirInvite app.

Delete Your Data

Delete individual networks by swiping left in the app
Delete all data by uninstalling AirInvite from your device
If you enabled iCloud sync, also delete AirInvite data from iCloud Settings

Export Your Data

You can export your WiFi networks by:

Generating QR codes for each network (screenshot or share)
Creating printable PDF WiFi cards
Using iOS's built-in iCloud backup (if enabled)

Opt-Out of Data Collection

There is nothing to opt-out of—we don't collect data in the first place.

⚠️ Important Notice About Future Changes

Current Status: AirInvite is currently free with zero data collection, zero ads, and zero tracking as described in this policy.

Future Possibility: If AirInvite is sold or ownership is transferred to another party, this privacy policy and the app's data practices may change. Any new owner may implement different data collection practices, analytics, advertising, or monetization strategies.

Your Protection: We commit to notifying all users via an in-app message before any such transfer occurs, and the new owner will be required to publish an updated privacy policy reflecting any changes to data practices.

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will:

Update the "Last Updated" date at the top
Publish the new version at https://airinvite.pbod.dev/privacy.html
Notify users via an in-app message (for significant changes)

Because we don't collect email addresses, we cannot send email notifications about policy changes.

International Users

AirInvite is available worldwide. Since all data is stored locally on your device:

GDPR (Europe): Fully compliant—your data never leaves your device
CCPA (California): Fully compliant—we don't sell personal information because we don't collect it
France: No ANSSI encryption approval needed—uses only standard Apple encryption

Legal Basis for Data Processing (GDPR)

Under GDPR, the legal basis for processing your data is:

Contract Performance: To provide you with WiFi sharing functionality
Legitimate Interest: To improve app performance (all processing happens locally)
Consent: For optional features like notifications, widgets, and Face ID

Because all processing happens on your device, you maintain full control and ownership of your data at all times.

Open Source & Transparency

AirInvite is committed to transparency. While the app is not currently open source, we maintain detailed technical documentation explaining our privacy-first architecture.

Technical Details:

Storage: SwiftData (Apple's local database framework)
Encryption: iOS standard encryption (AES-256)
Authentication: LocalAuthentication framework (Face ID/Touch ID)
QR Code Generation: CoreImage framework (entirely on-device)
Vision: On-device QR code scanning via Vision.framework
Sync: CloudKit (your private iCloud)
No Backend: Zero server-side code

Attribution

This privacy policy was last reviewed by a human (not generated by AI) and is designed to be both legally compliant and genuinely understandable.

We believe privacy policies should be honest, transparent, and written in plain language—not legal jargon designed to obscure the truth.

Summary

AirInvite in one sentence:
A privacy-first WiFi sharing app where all your data stays on your device, no servers involved, no tracking, no data collection, period.

Privacy Promise:
We built AirInvite the way we'd want a WiFi sharing app to work—complete control, zero compromise.
