Privacy Policy

How Mend handles your data — in plain English. Your licenses sync through your Apple iCloud, and we never sell your data or use it for ads.

Last updated: July 4, 2026

Mend is a fishing-license app made by Rockchuck LLC ("Rockchuck," "we," or "us"). Mend stores your fishing licenses, keeps their details organized, and reminds you before they expire.

This policy explains what we collect, why, and who we share it with — in plain English. By using Mend, you agree to what's described here.

The short version

  • Your license data is stored in Apple iCloud (CloudKit), tied to your Apple ID.
  • When you add a license, we send it to Anthropic's Claude service to read and organize the details automatically. Under Anthropic's business terms, that data isn't used to train AI models.
  • We use analytics and crash tools to see how the app is used and to fix bugs.
  • We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising across other apps.
  • You can delete your licenses anytime in the app, and you control your iCloud data through your Apple ID.

That's the gist. The sections below fill in the details.

What we collect

Things you add. When you save a license in Mend, we handle whatever it contains — which can include your name, date of birth, address, license or permit number, the issuing state, the license type, and the issue and expiration dates. You decide what goes in.

Things collected automatically. As you use the app, we and our analytics and crash tools collect usage data (which features and screens you use), diagnostic and crash data (error and performance logs), and basic device info (device model, OS version, app version, language, time zone, and general region). We set these tools up so they don't capture the contents of your licenses, and we don't collect your precise location.

Subscription info. Mend's subscription is bought through the App Store, and Apple handles the payment — we never see your card details. We only learn whether your subscription is active.

How we use it

We use this information to:

  • Run and maintain the app,
  • Read and organize your license details automatically,
  • Store and sync your licenses through iCloud,
  • Send you expiration reminders and other notifications,
  • Fix bugs and improve the app,
  • Manage subscriptions and help you when you reach out, and
  • Prevent abuse and comply with the law.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We only share it in these ways:

Apple. Your licenses live in Apple iCloud (CloudKit), linked to your Apple ID, and Apple syncs them across your devices under Apple's own privacy policy. Apple also processes your subscription through the App Store.

Anthropic (the Claude service). When you add a license, the app sends it to Anthropic's Claude API so we can automatically pull out the details (like the state, license type, and expiration date). Anthropic processes this for us under its Commercial Terms, which mean your data isn't used to train Anthropic's models and is kept only briefly. We tell Anthropic to use it only to do this job for us.

Analytics and crash providers. These tools process usage and diagnostic data on our behalf to help us understand and improve the app. They're contractually barred from using it for their own purposes.

Legal and safety. We may share information if the law requires it, to enforce our Terms, or to protect people from fraud, security threats, or harm.

Business changes. If Rockchuck is ever sold, merged, or reorganized, your information may transfer as part of that deal, still protected by this policy.

No ad tracking. We don't sell your personal information or "share" it for cross-app targeted advertising as those terms are defined under U.S. state privacy laws.

Where your data lives

Mend and its providers are based in the United States, and your data is processed here. Mend is meant for U.S. users. If you use it from elsewhere, that's your call and you're responsible for your local laws. Mend isn't directed to people in the EEA or UK.

How long we keep it

  • Licenses in iCloud: kept until you delete them in the app or remove them through your Apple ID.
  • Data sent to Anthropic: kept only for the brief period described above.
  • Analytics and crash data: kept only as long as we reasonably need it, then deleted or de-identified.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your data and rely on the security of Apple and our other providers. That said, no app or service is 100% secure, so we can't promise absolute security. Keeping your device and Apple ID secure is up to you.

Your choices and rights

In the app. You can view, edit, or delete your licenses anytime, and you control your iCloud data through your Apple ID settings.

Notifications. Turn reminders on or off in your device settings. If you turn them off, you won't get expiration reminders.

State privacy rights. Depending on where you live — including Utah, California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, and other states — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or get a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of its sale or targeted advertising (we don't do either). To make a request, email us at privacy@rockchuck.net. We'll verify your request as the law requires, and we won't treat you differently for asking.

Children

Mend isn't for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. The app and subscription are meant for adults. If you think a child gave us information, email privacy@rockchuck.net and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy now and then. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above and, when it matters, give you a heads-up in the app. Using Mend after a change means you accept the update.
