CardToWallet is provided by SamEarth, LLC. Your cards and created QR codes stay on your iPhone unless you choose to share them. We do not sell your card or QR information or use it for advertising, marketing profiles, or AI training.
What stays on your iPhone
The app saves your card names, barcodes, and images on your iPhone. QR codes you create are also made and saved on your phone, without sending their contents to SamEarth. A Wi-Fi code includes the network name and password; website, contact, and text codes contain the details you enter.
Adding a card to Apple Wallet
When you tap Add to Apple Wallet, the selected card’s name, barcode, colors, and image are sent securely to our service to prepare the pass. We use them only for that request, remove the temporary files afterward, and do not keep the card contents in our database or service logs.
You confirm before the pass is added to Wallet. Apple handles the pass and any syncing under its own policies.
Sharing a QR image
You choose where to save or send a QR image using your iPhone’s sharing options. The image includes the code, its name, and a matching label and icon. This sharing feature does not send the image to SamEarth. The app or service you share with has its own privacy practices.
A Wi-Fi code includes the password, even though it is not printed above the code. Share it with people you trust, just as you would share the password itself. Editing or deleting a code in CardToWallet does not change images you have already shared.
Face ID and the app lock
You can turn on the app lock in Settings. Your iPhone checks Face ID, Touch ID on supported devices, or your device passcode. CardToWallet only learns whether the check succeeded. We do not receive your face image, fingerprint, or passcode.
When the lock is on, you unlock CardToWallet when opening it or returning from another app. Card content is covered while the app is inactive. Copies you have shared or added to Wallet are managed separately, outside this lock.
Security and Data Retention
Service Protection & Integrity
We maintain limited installation verification records and request counts to prevent misuse and keep the service secure. These records do not contain your card details or processed images. They are scheduled for automatic deletion 90 days after installation registration.
Infrastructure Logging
Our hosting provider, Google Cloud, records basic connection and error logs, including IP addresses and request details, to maintain service security and reliability. These logs follow a 48-hour retention policy.
Deletion & Audit Records
Deletion is automatic, but processing may take additional time after a retention period ends. Required administrative audit logs follow Google Cloud’s separate retention rules.
Camera and photos
The app uses the camera when you choose to scan a card or take a photo. It uses pictures you select for card artwork. Saved artwork stays with the card on your iPhone and is sent to our service only when you choose to include it in a Wallet pass.
Advertising and usage
The app has no advertising or third-party analytics tools. We do not record where or when you scan your cards at physical readers.
Getting help
If you email us, we receive your email address and what you choose to send. We use this to answer your questions and help resolve problems. Please leave private card details and Wi-Fi passwords out of support messages and screenshots.
Deleting cards and other copies
You can delete cards and QR codes in CardToWallet. Passes in Wallet and images saved to Files, Photos, or shared elsewhere need to be removed separately. Device backups and Wallet syncing are managed through your Apple settings and Apple’s policies.
Services we use
Apple provides Wallet, app verification, device unlocking, and sharing features. Google Cloud runs our Wallet preparation service and stores its security records. These providers may handle service information under their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page and its effective date if our data handling changes.
