PassProof Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 29, 2026
PassProof is built privacy-first. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information. In short: your photos and personal information never leave your device, and we do not collect them.
The short version
- We do not collect, store, sell, or transmit your photos.
- We do not require an account or ask for your name, email, or personal details.
- We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party trackers.
- All photo processing — cropping, alignment, compliance checks, background color, and export — happens entirely on your device.
- The only thing PassProof downloads is the U.S. State Department's public travel advisory list, and only while you leave that feature switched on. It sends nothing about you.
Photos
Every photo you take or import is processed locally on your device. Photos are never uploaded to us or to any server. When you save, print, or share a photo, that action is handled by your device's own Photos, printing, or sharing features — under your control.
Purchases
PassProof offers an optional one-time in-app purchase, processed by Apple. Purchase validation uses RevenueCat with an anonymous purchase record — never your name, email, or photos. Your photos never leave your device.
Travel advisories
From version 1.3, PassProof can show current U.S. State Department travel advisory levels on its home screen. To do that, the app downloads the State Department's public advisory feed from travel.state.gov when you open the app, and at most once every six or twelve hours depending on your setting.
That request sends nothing about you. It carries no photo, no account, no device identifier and no analytics — it asks for a public file and nothing else. The advisory text is then stored on your device so the section works offline.
travel.state.gov is operated by the U.S. Department of State. Their handling of the request is governed by their privacy policy, not ours.
You can turn this off at any time in Settings — Travel advisories. With it off, PassProof makes no network requests at all.
Permissions we request, and why
- Camera — to take your passport or ID photo. Used only when you choose to take a photo.
- Photo Library — to import an existing photo, to save the photo you take, and to save your finished photo. We only access photos you select or save.
- Location — only if you tap "find a nearby print shop." Your approximate location is used to open a search in your device's Maps app. We do not store or transmit your location.
You can change or revoke any of these permissions at any time in your device Settings.
Third-party services
PassProof has no server of its own — we operate no backend, and we receive nothing from the app.
From version 1.3, the app downloads the U.S. State Department's public travel advisory feed from travel.state.gov, as described above. That is a public file, the request sends nothing about you, and it can be switched off.
Tapping "find a store" opens Apple Maps or Google Maps, which have their own privacy policies.
In-app purchases are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to verify your purchase status — this involves only anonymous purchase information, never your photos or identity.
Children's privacy
PassProof is rated 4+ and does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children.
Data retention and security
Because we do not collect your data, we have nothing to retain or expose. Your photos remain on your device and under your control.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
