WEL Check AU

Effective 12 October 2026. Applies to the WEL Check AU iPhone app, version 1.0 and later until this page says otherwise.

In short: WEL Check AU collects no personal information. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Photos of safety data sheets are read on your iPhone and are never uploaded.

Photos and the scanner

When you scan a safety data sheet or label, the photo (from the camera or your photo library), or the text you paste, is read on your iPhone by Apple's built-in text recognition. The image is not uploaded anywhere and the app does not keep it once the text has been read. The app only asks for camera access when you choose to take a photo, and you can turn it off in Settings at any time. Choosing an existing photo uses Apple's photo picker, so the app only sees the photo you pick.

What stays on your iPhone

Your site registers (site names and the substances you add).
Which free substances you have opened.

These stay in the app's storage on your iPhone. We cannot see them. If you export a register to CSV or PDF, it goes only where you send it with the iOS share sheet. Deleting the app deletes this data from your iPhone. Your own iCloud or computer backups of the iPhone may include it, as they do for any app; we have no access to those.

Network access

The app makes no network requests of its own: the exposure data is built into the app and it works offline. The only connections are:

The App Store. Purchasing and restoring the unlock goes through Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment under Apple's privacy policy; we receive no payment or personal details, only the anonymous sales figures Apple reports to all developers.
Links you tap. Links to Safe Work Australia's source documents and the CC BY 4.0 licence open in Safari, under those websites' own policies.

What we do not do

No account or sign-in.
No analytics, crash-reporting or advertising code in the app.
No tracking across apps or websites, and no selling or sharing of data.

Emails to support

If you email apps@evanhunter.xyz, we use your email address and message only to reply and to fix the app, and we do not share them.

These web pages

These pages use no cookies and no analytics. They are hosted on Cloudflare Pages, which, like any web host, processes visitors' IP addresses to serve the pages and protect against abuse.

Children

The app is a workplace reference tool and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Questions or complaints about privacy: apps@evanhunter.xyz. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
