CodeShelf
Privacy policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
Your archive is processed on your device. CodeShelf does not send codes or your address book to developer-operated servers.
Scope and contact
This policy covers CodeShelf for iPhone and iPad, developed by Giuseppe La Guardia / Giuzzi Lab. For support and privacy requests, contact support@giuzzilab.com.
Codes, recipients and files
The app stores imported codes, app details and icons, versions, series, batches, expiry dates, recipient names and contact details, history and original imported files. These are processed locally and saved in the archive you choose. Files do not have an additional CodeShelf-specific encryption layer: they contain readable codes and names. Protect access, copies and sharing destinations.
Contacts and clipboard
Contacts permission is optional and is used to find recipients and link their details to codes. You can enter details manually and revoke permission in iOS Settings. References and details already saved in the archive remain until you change them or delete the archive. Tapping a code copies it to the system clipboard, subject to Apple’s device settings and continuity features.
Folders, iCloud and backups
CodeShelf keeps a local copy and, when selected, a copy in an external folder, including iCloud Drive or another Files provider. Synchronization is handled by that provider. Up to 8 previous local versions and one previous external copy are retained. Deleting the app may remove its container but does not automatically delete external files or backups. After reinstalling, select the folder again. Giuzzi Lab does not operate a cloud service for your codes or have remote archive access.
Sharing and retention
Mail, Messages and WhatsApp receive the content you choose to send and the required recipient details. Original file and backup sharing uses the iOS share sheet and your chosen services. Those providers’ policies apply. Archiving a series preserves shared codes and recipients in its history, and original files are retained in full. To remove all copies, also manage external archives, backups, exported files and previously sent messages.
Pro purchase
The non-consumable Pro purchase and restoration are handled by Apple through App Store and StoreKit. CodeShelf checks purchase entitlements on the device. The developer does not receive your Apple Account password or payment card details. See also App Store and Privacy.
Accounts, analytics and advertising
CodeShelf does not require a developer account and contains no advertising, third-party analytics or tracking across apps and websites. Any diagnostics or statistics managed by Apple follow your device and Apple service settings.
Support and data requests
When you contact support, your email address and the information you choose to send are received by Giuseppe La Guardia and email providers to handle the request. Correspondence is kept as needed for support and applicable obligations. Do not send valid codes or other people’s data. For data received by the developer, you may request access, correction, deletion and other applicable rights through the same contact, or contact the competent supervisory authority. Giuzzi Lab cannot remotely access or delete data kept solely on your device or in your own cloud services.
