Public references and publications
You can browse industry catalogs, products, public research and BOM references without signing in. Each source service continues to provide its own records. The app does not recalculate official prices or create a new business database. Product selections and publications are generated locally. Clipboard access, system sharing and saving images to Photos occur only when you choose those actions. Photos access is add-only. Publications can use Apple system translation; language packs and availability are managed by the system. The app does not read contacts, location or health data and does not provide payments, order settlement or credit card collection.
Email and sessions
Email verification code sign-in uses the existing email authentication path at app-api.icook.cloud. Your email, internal user identifier and session tokens support identity and authorization. The same iCook account can be used in applications connected to this authentication service. Global Alliance and Boss Circle share the server account. Tokens are stored in Global Alliance’s own Keychain, separately from the Boss Circle app. This separates local token storage, not server accounts by app. This version does not offer Apple sign-in. Verification emails continue to use Resend; hosting, databases and files continue to use Cloudflare. No advertising, profiling or new analytics SDK has been added.
Authorized customer projects
Only when the server authorizes the action and provides upload capability can you actively choose and submit files for a project task, including PNG/JPEG images. The selected file name, MIME type and content are sent to the original project service for storage. Saving public catalog images still requests add-only Photos permission; it does not automatically read or upload your photo library. Project task attachments are separate from unconnected Comply evidence and private Export document write capabilities. Registration does not grant project access. A project owner must verify the association and invite you. The server checks administrator, customer and supplier roles and task assignments. Suppliers see only their own assigned tasks and submissions; customer quotation terms are not shared with suppliers. Titles, descriptions, amounts, quotation versions, reading languages and confirmation receipts remain in their original business systems. Accepted quotations use the original frozen records. Source workflows may notify internal operations through Telegram under existing rules. The app does not automatically message external partners.
Local designs and sharing
iPad designs, room dimensions, furniture positions, local versions, quantities and PDFs are stored in the app sandbox, partitioned by account. They do not automatically sync to the cloud. A PDF leaves the device only when you choose to share it. Confirm dimensions before using a design. This version does not upload cloud designs, Comply evidence or private Export documents. A local save does not guarantee recovery on another device.
Signing out, account deletion and requests
Signing out in Me ends only the current session. Account deletion applies to the unified iCook account: it affects that account’s sign-in and sessions in other connected applications and revokes your shared access. It does not delete shared projects or other members’ business evidence. Shared project and frozen quotation records follow the original business rules and applicable retention requirements. Account deletion does not promise permanent erasure of every business file or database record at once. To request access, correction or deletion, email [email protected] with your account and request details. Do not send verification codes or tokens.
Network services
Necessary network requests to Cloudflare and other infrastructure services involve IP addresses and technical information for delivery and security. The app has no advertising, cross-app tracking or sale of personal information features and adds no third-party AI data calls. Features on other websites do not imply that the app provides them.
