StampStory

Privacy policy

Last updated 10 September 2026

1The short version

StampStory has no accounts, no server, and no analytics. The countries you mark, your name, your avatar and your theme live on your phone and nowhere else.

The only thing that ever leaves your device is a purchase receipt, and only if you buy Gold. If you never buy anything, the app sends nothing at all.

2Who we are

StampStory is made by Itay Blokh (shoopi), an independent developer based in Singapore. For anything in this policy, or to make a request about your data, email stampstory-support@shoopi.dev.

3What stays on your device

All of this is written to your phone's local app storage. It is never transmitted, and I have no way to read it.

WhatWhy it exists
The countries you markedThe whole point of the app
The day you marked each oneSo the app can tell you what is new since your last visit. You are never asked for a date
Your namePrinted on the passport card and its machine-readable strip
Your avatar and themeHow your passport looks
Whether Gold is activeAn offline copy of your purchase status, so the app works without a connection
Whether you finished onboardingSo it is not shown twice

4What leaves your device

Two things, and no more.

  • Purchases. Buying or restoring Gold goes through Apple or Google, and through RevenueCat, which validates the receipt on my behalf. RevenueCat receives an anonymous identifier it generates for that install, the store receipt, and basic device and app version information. It does not receive your name, your countries, or anything else from the app. RevenueCat's own privacy policy applies to that data.
  • The image you share. When you tap Share, the passport image is handed to your phone's share sheet and goes wherever you send it. That is your action and your choice of destination; it does not pass through me.

5What the app never collects

  • No account, email address, phone number or password
  • No location. The app never asks for it and cannot read it
  • No contacts, camera, microphone or photo library reads. If you choose Save Image in the share sheet, iOS asks your permission and the app writes that one image; it never reads your library
  • No advertising identifier and no tracking across apps, so no App Tracking Transparency prompt
  • No usage analytics, crash SDK or heat maps

6What this website collects

These pages are served from shoopi.dev, which uses Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. Those measure page views and load performance in aggregate and do not use cookies to identify you or follow you across sites.

8Who else is involved

  • Apple and Google process the payment and hold the purchase record. Their terms and privacy policies apply.
  • RevenueCat validates receipts and stores the purchase status against an anonymous install identifier.
  • Vercel hosts this website.

Each of these providers is bound by its own agreement with me to protect the data at least as well as this policy does, and to use it only to provide the service described here.

RevenueCat and Vercel process data in the United States. Where that data comes from the EEA or the UK, the transfer relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Nobody else. Your data is not sold, rented, or shared for advertising, ever.

9How long things are kept

  • On-device data: until you delete it in the app or delete the app itself.
  • Purchase records: kept by RevenueCat, Apple and Google for as long as they need to honour a restore and to meet their own tax and accounting obligations.

10Your rights and your choices

Deleting the app removes everything StampStory stored on your phone. There is no server-side copy to request, correct, or export, because there is no server.

For the purchase record held on my behalf, you can ask me to access or delete it. Email stampstory-support@shoopi.dev from the address you use with your store account and tell me what you need. If you delete the purchase record, restoring Gold may no longer work.

If you are in the EEA or the UK you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

11Children

StampStory is not directed at children under 13, or under the age of digital consent where you live, and does not knowingly collect anything from them. There is nothing to collect: the app has no account and no messaging. If you believe a child has bought Gold, contact Apple or Google for a refund and email me.

12Security

Your travel data never travels, which removes most of the risk. Purchase traffic to the stores and to RevenueCat is encrypted in transit. No system is perfect, and I will not pretend otherwise.

13Changes to this policy

If the app starts doing something new, this page changes before that version ships, and the date at the top moves. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
