Data storage
CrewDex stores all data — contacts, tags, notes, and ratings — locally on your device, in a database that belongs to the app. Nothing is uploaded, synced, or transmitted to us or to any third party. We operate no servers and collect no analytics.
Because there is no server, there is no account to create, no password to manage, and no copy of your directory anywhere but your phone.
Device contacts
With your permission, CrewDex reads your device contacts solely to copy names, phone numbers, email addresses, and photos that you choose to import into your on-device crew directory. Your device address book is never modified.
Granting contacts permission is optional. Contacts can be added manually instead, and the app works fully without ever being granted access.
What sharing includes
When you share a contact card, only that contact's name, role, location, phone number, and email address are included. This applies both to the plain-text card and to the .vcf contact file.
Private fields: star ratings, notes, specialty tags, and personal tags are never included in shared output under any circumstances.
Sharing happens through your device's own share sheet. Where the card goes after that is governed by whichever app you send it with, not by CrewDex.
Purchase and payment
CrewDex is sold as a one-time purchase on the App Store. Apple handles the billing; there is no subscription, no in-app purchase, and nothing recurring.
We never see or receive your payment details. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple, and no purchase information is sent to us.
Use of the app is governed by Apple's standard Terms of Use (EULA).
Analytics and tracking
There are none. CrewDex contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising identifier, and no third-party framework that reports on how you use the app. Nothing you do inside CrewDex is measured or transmitted, and no data is used to track you across other apps or websites.
Children
CrewDex is a professional tool intended for adults working in film and television. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone — of any age — because it does not collect information at all.
Deleting your data
Deleting the app deletes all of its data. There is no server-side copy to request and nothing for us to erase on your behalf, because nothing ever left your phone.
Changes to this policy
If CrewDex ever adds a feature that changes how data is handled, this policy will be updated before that feature ships, and the change will be called out in the App Store release notes.
