HELM Coders

Privacy Policy

HELM Coders LLC designs its applications to collect as little information as practical. Many app features operate entirely on-device or use Apple services controlled by the user. HELM Coders does not sell personal information and does not use third-party advertising trackers in the applications described below.

Support information

When you submit a support request, HELM Coders receives the information you provide so we can investigate, respond to, and keep a history of the request.

Website analytics

HELM Coders uses a small first-party analytics system on app product pages to understand which products are being viewed. It records the app page, language, date/time, and referring website. Approximate daily unique-visitor counts are calculated with a one-way daily identifier; raw IP addresses and full user-agent strings are not stored. The website analytics system does not use cookies, third-party analytics services, advertising identifiers, or cross-site tracking.

Apple TV

Apps distributed for Apple TV (tvOS) are also covered by our dedicated Apple TV Privacy Policy, which explains tvOS-specific handling of local data and Apple-managed services such as Game Center, iCloud, and App Store purchases.

App-specific practices

BlastVector

Game Center provides achievements and leaderboards, private iCloud/CloudKit synchronizes game progress, and StoreKit handles optional in-app purchases. Apple's published App Store privacy disclosure states “Data Not Collected.” The app does not use tracking.

Morse iCoder

No HELM Coders account, advertising, or tracking. Camera access is used only for the optional camera decode feature on supported devices.

Health Migrate

Google Health and Fitbit export files you choose are read and processed on your device; HELM Coders never receives them. Health Migrate asks Apple Health for permission to read and write the data types it can import. It reads existing Apple Health data only to avoid duplicate imports, and it writes only the records you approve after a Dry Run. It does not change or delete existing Apple Health data, except that the optional Weight cleanup, which you start yourself, can delete weight records that Health Migrate wrote.

Token packs and Unlimited access are purchased through Apple's App Store. So that token balances work across your devices and after reinstalling, purchase and token records (Apple transaction and product identifiers, purchase and refund dates, token counts, and for each import its date, type, and number of records written, but no health data) are stored in your private iCloud database, which HELM Coders cannot access.

Health Migrate has no HELM Coders account, analytics, advertising, or tracking. Dry Run reports can include health dates and values and leave your device only if you share them using the system share sheet. Apple's published App Store privacy disclosure states "Data Not Collected."

Loan Compass

Saved scenarios are used for app functionality and may use the user's private Apple CloudKit/iCloud services when enabled. No third-party advertising or tracking is intended.

Drive Register

Location is used to record active drives, including background location while a drive is in progress. Trip data can be stored locally or in the user's private iCloud account. Exports are created only when the user requests them.

Mortgage iCalculator

Mortgage, comparison, and rental calculations are performed for app functionality. No HELM Coders account, third-party advertising, or tracking is part of the product.

Silo Commander

No HELM Coders account is required. Game Center and App Store purchases use Apple-managed services. HELM Coders does not use third-party analytics or advertising in the game.

Pilates Teaching Studio

User-created planning content remains local or in the user's private iCloud account when optional sync is enabled. User-imported manuals are user-provided reference files. App Store purchases and subscriptions, where offered, use Apple-managed services.

Diver’s Log

No HELM Coders account is required. Diver’s Log has no advertising, analytics or tracking, and HELM Coders does not receive your dive records.

On your device. Dives, certifications, equipment, signatures and settings are saved in the app’s storage on your device first, and the app works without a network connection.

Optional iCloud sync. During setup you choose to keep your logbook on this device only or to sync it through your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit private database), which HELM Coders cannot access. In this version the choice is made once and cannot be changed later. Signatures are stored with the dive they belong to and sync with it when iCloud sync is on.

Area search. When you type an area or region name while adding a dive, that text is sent to Apple Maps to find matching places. Diver’s Log does not request or use your location.

Photos and videos. When you link photos or videos to a dive, Diver’s Log stores a reference to each item in your Photos library and basic details about it, not a copy of the original. A signature image you add is stored with the dive.

Export. You can export a full JSON backup containing every dive, calculation, verification, signature, certification and equipment record, or a CSV dive summary that leaves out private notes, signatures and certification numbers. An export leaves your device only when you share or save it.

Apple TV and Apple Watch. On Apple TV, Diver’s Log is a read-only viewer of the dives in your private iCloud database and hides notes, private notes, signatures and media. On Apple Watch, it shows a summary sent from your paired iPhone, such as your last dive and totals.

Deleting data. Deleting a dive removes it from the app and, when iCloud sync is on, from your private iCloud database once the deletion has synced. You can remove all of the app’s synced data from your Apple Account’s iCloud storage settings.

The iCalculator

No HELM Coders account, backend, cloud service, advertising, subscription, or in-app purchase is required in version 2.0. Calculations, history, and preferences remain local to the device.

Space Tap: Escape the Invasion

No HELM Coders account is required. Space Tap has no analytics, advertising, advertising identifiers, or tracking, and it never sends information to HELM Coders or to any third party.

On your device. Records, settings, mission progress, upgrades, and balances of Credits, Cores, and Energy Stars are saved in the app’s storage on each device.

iCloud sync. When you are signed in to iCloud, Space Tap keeps a record of your progress and purchases in your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit private database) so it stays the same across your devices and after reinstalling. The record contains game results (such as distances, destinations, Energy Stars, and mission marks), Credits and Cores earned and spent, installed upgrades, and for In-App Purchases the Apple transaction and product identifiers with purchase and refund dates. HELM Coders cannot access your private iCloud database. Without iCloud, the game works fully on the device.

Apple services. Game Center, which is optional, provides the leaderboard and achievements. In-App Purchases are processed by Apple’s App Store; HELM Coders never receives your payment information. Game Center, iCloud, and App Store purchases are handled by Apple under Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Keeping and deleting data. Data stays on your devices and in your iCloud account until you delete it. Deleting the app removes its data from that device. To remove the iCloud copy, delete Space Tap’s data from your iCloud storage settings (on iPhone and iPad: Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Account Storage); delete the app on every device as well, or a remaining device will upload its copy again. Purchased ships stay tied to your Apple Account and can be restored with Restore Purchases.

Children. Space Tap collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

iSummarizeIT

Recording. iSummarizeIT uses the microphone only while you are recording a meeting. Recordings are saved as audio files in the app’s storage on your device.

Transcription and speaker identification. Transcription (using Apple’s on-device speech recognition) and speaker identification (using models built into the app) always happen on your device. Your audio recordings are never sent to HELM Coders, to any third-party service, or to Private Cloud Compute.

Meeting analysis. By default, the summary, key points, decisions, and action items are created by Apple’s on-device model (“On Device”). On iOS 27 or later, you can instead choose Apple’s Private Cloud Compute for an individual meeting or as the default for new meetings; the first time on each device, the app asks you to confirm. When Private Cloud Compute is used, that meeting’s transcript, including speaker names, is sent to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute to create the analysis. Audio recordings are never sent. Apple states that data sent to Private Cloud Compute is used only to fulfill the request and is not stored; it is not accessible to HELM Coders. iSummarizeIT never sends meetings to a HELM Coders server or to any third-party AI service.

Storage on your device. Recordings, transcripts, speaker names, and analyses are stored in the app’s container on your device.

Optional iCloud Sync. iCloud Sync is off by default and is turned on separately on each device. When it is on, meeting data, transcripts, analyses, speaker names, and recordings are stored in your private iCloud database (Apple CloudKit private database), which HELM Coders cannot access. Recordings are downloaded to a device only when needed.

Apple Watch. Recordings made on Apple Watch stay on the watch until they are transferred directly to your paired iPhone using Apple’s WatchConnectivity. The watch copy is deleted after the iPhone confirms that it received the recording.

Exports. Text and PDF exports contain the meeting analysis only (the transcript is not included) and leave your device only if you share them using the system share sheet.

Deleting data. Deleting a meeting in the app deletes its recording and data, including its iCloud copy when iCloud Sync is on. Deleting the app deletes its data on that device; copies stored in iCloud remain in your iCloud account until you delete them.

No accounts or tracking. iSummarizeIT has no HELM Coders account and uses no analytics, advertising, advertising identifiers, or tracking. Apple’s published App Store privacy disclosure states "Data Not Collected."
