Privacy Policy — Settle

Last updated: July 23, 2026 · Provided by Vertex Lab Solutions ("we", "us")
Settle is an organizational tool for people settling an estate. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

1. The short version

Settle is private by design. In the current version of the app, everything you photograph and enter stays on your device, protected by your iPhone's encryption. We do not collect, transmit, or receive your personal data. There are no ads, no trackers, and we never sell your data.

2. Information stored on your device

This information stays in Settle's encrypted storage on your device. We have no access to it. You can export all of it, or delete all of it, at any time from within the app — for free.

3. Purchases

Subscriptions are handled entirely by Apple. We receive confirmation of your subscription status from Apple so the app can unlock paid features; we do not receive your name or payment-card details.

4. Camera

Settle uses your camera only to photograph documents you choose to capture. Photos are processed on your device and are not uploaded. Settle never accesses your camera in the background.

5. What we do not do

6. Future features

We may later offer optional features that require processing data off your device — for example, cloud backup, sync across devices, or AI document reading. These will be strictly opt-in. Before any such feature is released, we will update this policy and our App Store privacy disclosures to describe exactly what is processed, and you will be asked to turn it on. Until then, the app collects nothing.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including California under the CCPA/CPRA and the EU/UK under GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your information. Because your data lives on your device, you can exercise these directly in the app at any time. For anything else, contact us at support@vertexlabsolutions.com.

8. Children

Settle is intended for adults handling estate matters and is not directed to children under 13.

9. Changes

We will update this policy as the app evolves and will revise the "last updated" date above.
