Tikki is an iPhone app for making tickets you give to people you know, and this website, which shows a ticket to anyone it is sent to. It keeps what it needs to show and cash in those tickets, and nothing else. No ads, no tracking, no analytics, and nothing is sold.
What Tikki keeps
- The tickets you make: the words, emoji, colours and design, a picture if you add one, the names you write on it, its hidden note, the day it unlocks and how many uses it has.
- What happens to a ticket: when it was cashed in, and the reaction the person who got it chose, if they chose one.
- A random identifier, stored by the app, so the tickets you made stay yours without an account.
- Your email address, only if you sign in. It is used for the sign-in link you ask for and, if someone asks to cash in a ticket you made, for that one message.
- A notification token, if you allow alerts in the app, so that one message can reach your phone instead.
- Wallet registrations: when a ticket is added to Apple Wallet, the device registers an identifier with Tikki so the pass can update itself, for example to show it has been cashed in.
- If you buy Tikki Plus, a record that you bought it: Apple's transaction id and the date, so it works on your other devices. Never your payment details, which Apple keeps.
- Your IP address, briefly, as a counter that stops automated abuse. It is not stored with anything else and is deleted after about a day.
- How often Tikki says no to a free ticket, as a daily total linked to nobody: no account, device or ticket is stored with it.
What Tikki never sees
Phone numbers and email addresses you type, or pick from your contacts, to send tickets to people stay on your device. Messages, Mail or the share sheet sends them; Tikki only learns whether a ticket was sent. Tikki never messages anyone on its own.
Receiving a ticket
Opening a ticket on this website needs no app and no account, and Tikki keeps nothing about you from it. The browser remembers which tickets you have opened, so they are listed under “Tickets you've been given”; that list stays on your device. Asking to cash a ticket in sends the person who made it one alert, and nothing about you.
Who can see a ticket
Anyone with a ticket's link can see it, the same way anyone holding a paper ticket can read it. Only share the link with the person it is for. The hidden note stays hidden until the ticket is cashed in.
Who else handles it
Tikki runs on a hosting and database provider and sends email through an email delivery service. Apple and Google handle wallet passes and app notifications. They process this information only to provide those services to Tikki.
Deleting it
If you signed in, you can delete your account in the app, under Account. That removes your email address and the names and hidden notes on your tickets, and cancels any ticket not yet cashed in. A ticket already cashed in keeps saying so, because it is the other person's keepsake too.
Without an account, or for anything else, such as a copy of what Tikki holds about you or a correction, email the address below.
