Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 20, 2026
In one sentence
Tesserone does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Everything you enter stays on your device.
What data we collect
None. Tesserone does not collect any personal information, usage analytics, crash reports, device identifiers, or any other data. There is no account, no sign-up, and no profile. The app does not communicate with any server we operate — because we don't operate any.
What data the app stores
The loyalty cards you add (name, barcode, notes, chosen logo or colour, custom uploaded logos) are stored locally on your device using the operating system's standard storage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it yourself using the Export feature.
Permissions we request
- Camera — used only when you tap "Scan" to read a barcode. Frames are processed on-device and are never saved or transmitted.
- Photo library — used only when you pick a custom logo image for a card. The image is copied into the app's private storage; no gallery access happens in the background.
Third parties
The app contains no third-party SDKs, advertising networks, analytics services, or tracking tools. It makes no network requests in normal use.
Children's privacy
Tesserone does not knowingly collect information from anyone — including children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). Because we collect no data at all, there is nothing to delete or export on request.
Your rights (GDPR, CCPA)
Regulations such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. Chipcolate holds no personal data about Tesserone users, so there is nothing for us to provide or erase. Your data resides entirely on your device, under your control — you can delete a card or uninstall the app at any time to remove it.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and note the change in the app's release notes. Because the app's approach is "collect nothing," material changes would only occur alongside a significant redesign.
