Privacy & Accessibility

Home Inventory is a room-by-room home inventory for insurance, with photos and a printable PDF report. It is free, carries no ads, and is made by Sky Wolf Studios.

Where your data goes

Nowhere. Every room and item you record — name, brand, model, serial number, purchase date, value, notes, and a photo of each item is kept in this browser's own IndexedDB database `sws-inventory` (object store `inventories`), with photos downscaled and re-encoded at capture time so they fit; the only localStorage keys are `sws.hi.tab.<inventoryId>`, which remember which tab you were last on.

There is no upload, no server-side processing, no account, and no copy held anywhere we can reach. We could not hand your data to anyone if we were asked for it, because we do not have it.

How to check that for yourself

Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data, reload, and photograph and catalogue a whole room, then export the PDF — all of it works offline, which is impossible for an app that uploads your photos. To look directly, open DevTools → Application → IndexedDB → sws-inventory: every item and every photo is right there on your device, and the Network tab stays empty while you work.

What we do not do

• No account, no sign-in, no email address collected.
• No ads, no analytics, no advertising trackers, no cookies, no fingerprinting.
• No selling, sharing or brokering of anything you type here. There is no data to sell.
• No paywall, no trial, no subscription, no watermark, no export limit.

Permissions

The app asks for access to the photos you pick, one at a time, through your browser's own file picker — the app deliberately does not set capture="environment", so it never jumps straight into a camera without asking you, and only at the moment you use the feature that needs it. Your browser asks you, not us, and you can refuse — the rest of the app keeps working.

Who else is involved

• Stripe — only if you tap the tip jar, which opens buy.stripe.com in a new tab. We never see or store card details.
• Firebase Hosting (Google) serves the app's static files and keeps ordinary short-lived web-server logs such as IP addresses. It cannot record anything about your belongings, because nothing about them is ever sent to it.

Tips

The tip jar links out to a checkout page hosted by the payment provider on their own site. We never see or store card details. Tipping changes nothing in the app — every feature is free either way.

Hosting

The app's files are served by Google's Firebase Hosting, which — like any web host — keeps standard, short-lived server logs such as IP addresses, for security and operations. That log records that a browser fetched a page. It cannot record anything you type, because what you type is never sent to the host.

Children

This app is made for adults. It is not directed at children, and it collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.

Accessibility

We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA: labelled fields, keyboard-operable controls that keep their focus when the page redraws, visible focus rings, 44px touch targets that grow with the text-size setting, screen-reader announcements for changes, and colour contrast checked by build-time solver in both light and dark mode. The display panel in the header sets text size, spacing, contrast, reading style and motion, and those settings follow you across all of our apps.

If anything gets in your way, email us and we will fix it: stephenfurpahs@gmail.com.
