Privacy Policy

1. Overview

TapClaim aggregates publicly available information about U.S. class-action settlements. To match you with settlements, the app asks a short onboarding quiz and optional per-settlement eligibility questions, and asks for a U.S. mailing address. Your account is anonymous and device-based: it is tied to a generated user ID, not to your name or email. We collect only what is described in this policy, and we designed the app to work without knowing who you are.

2. Information You Provide

You provide the following information directly in the app:

• U.S. mailing address (street, city, state, ZIP code), used to match you with settlements and for your convenience when you fill out claim forms.
• Eligibility answers, which are simple yes/no answers to the onboarding quiz and to optional per-settlement eligibility questions. These are sent to our backend to refine settlement matching.
• Claim tracking status, including which settlements you have marked as filed or are tracking in the app.

All of this is linked to your generated user ID, not to your name.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

When you use the app, we and our service providers collect:

• Device identifiers, including the identifier for vendor (IDFV) and your generated user ID.
• Device and app information, including device model, operating system version, app version, language, country, and timezone.
• Usage and analytics events, including how you interact with the app, such as screens viewed and features used.
• Purchase and subscription history, including your subscription status and purchase events, managed through RevenueCat. We do not receive your payment details; payment is processed entirely by Apple.
• Crash data, including diagnostic reports if the app crashes.
• Apple Search Ads attribution token, a token provided by Apple's AdServices framework that tells us whether you installed the app after seeing an Apple Search Ads ad.

4. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect:

• Your name.
• Your email address (there is no email/password login).
• Payment card details. All payments are processed by Apple through your Apple ID, and refunds are handled by Apple.
• Anything you enter on a settlement administrator's website. Claim forms open in an in-app browser and your entries go directly to the administrator, not to us.

5. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Match you with class-action settlements you may qualify for, based on your eligibility answers and mailing address.
• Operate the service, including showing your tracked claims and sending optional push notifications about claim deadlines and updates.
• Understand how the app is used and improve it through analytics, experiments, and crash diagnostics.
• Manage your subscription and confirm your access to paid features.
• Measure the performance of our advertising campaigns (attribution), subject to your App Tracking Transparency choice described below.

A match or eligibility indication in TapClaim means only that, based on your answers and public settlement criteria, you may qualify. It is not a determination of eligibility; only the settlement administrator and the court decide who is eligible.

6. Tracking and Advertising Attribution

We show Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt in the app. Device identifiers are used for advertising attribution only if you allow tracking; if you decline, attribution events are sent without cross-app identifiers.

For attribution, the Meta (Facebook) SDK receives only a limited set of funnel events: registration completed, content viewed, and checkout initiated. The TikTok SDK receives similar attribution events. These are used to measure whether our ads led to installs and subscriptions. We do not send your mailing address or eligibility answers to advertising platforms.

You can change your tracking choice at any time in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.

7. Service Providers We Use

We share data with the following service providers, each for the purpose listed:

These providers process data on our behalf or, in the case of advertising platforms, for attribution as described in Section 6. We do not sell your mailing address or eligibility answers to anyone.

8. Settlement Administrator Websites

When you choose to file a claim, TapClaim opens the settlement administrator's official claim form in an in-app browser. You submit the claim yourself on that third-party website. Those websites are operated by settlement administrators, not by us, and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. TapClaim does not receive, see, or store the information you enter there, does not file claims on your behalf, is not a party to any settlement, and does not process, hold, or distribute any settlement payments.

9. How We Share Information

We share information only as follows:

• Service providers listed in Section 7, for the purposes stated.
• Advertising platforms (Meta and TikTok) receive device identifiers and limited attribution events, subject to your ATT choice. Under some U.S. state privacy laws (such as California's), this may count as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out as described in Section 11.
• Legal reasons, if required by law, legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Business transfers, if TapClaim is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.

We do not sell your mailing address, eligibility answers, or claim tracking data.

10. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account or ask us to delete your data, we delete it, typically within 30 days, except where we must keep limited records to comply with law. Aggregated or de-identified analytics data that cannot be linked back to you may be retained longer.

11. Your Rights and Choices

Because your account is anonymous, rights requests work a little differently. Your account is tied to a generated user ID on your device, not to your name or email, so we cannot verify you by email address alone. The in-app "Delete account" option removes your matches and claim history from your device. To have the data held on our servers deleted, or to exercise any other privacy right, contact info@ever-code.net and include your user ID (shown in the app) so we can locate your data.

Your choices include:

• Tracking, which you can allow or decline via the ATT prompt and change at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• Push notifications, which are optional and can be turned on or off in iOS Settings. Do not rely on TapClaim notifications as your only reminder of a claim deadline.
• Access, correction, and deletion. You can request a copy of your data, correct your mailing address (editable in the app), or delete your data as described above.

U.S. state privacy rights. Depending on your state (for example, California), you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access it, to correct it, to delete it, to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To opt out of sharing, decline tracking in the ATT prompt and email info@ever-code.net with your user ID. We will honor valid requests as required by applicable law.

Other jurisdictions. Where laws such as the GDPR or Türkiye's data protection law (KVKK) apply to you, you may have similar rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Contact us at info@ever-code.net to exercise them.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but because we collect no name, email, or payment details, the data we hold about you is limited by design.

13. Children's Privacy

TapClaim is intended for adults in the United States. The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact info@ever-code.net.

14. International Data Processing

TapClaim is offered to users in the United States. Your data may be processed in the United States, Türkiye, and other countries where we or our service providers (such as Google, PostHog, and RevenueCat) operate. Wherever your data is processed, it is protected as described in this policy.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of TapClaim after a change means you accept the updated policy.
