Terms & Privacy

Last updated October 22, 2026. This is a plain-language summary while full terms are prepared.

Not affiliated with Apple

Store Stock Checker is an independent service. It isn’t made, endorsed, or sponsored by Apple Inc. iPhone and Apple Store are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Product images belong to Apple and are shown only to help you pick the right model.

Terms

What we do

We check Apple’s online store for in-store pickup availability of the iPhones you choose, at the Apple Stores you choose, and notify you when one becomes available. We don’t sell iPhones, reserve them for you, or guarantee you’ll get one. Stock can sell out before you reserve it.

What we don’t cover

Walk-in availability, carrier stores, other retailers, and delivery dates.

Plans and billing

• Starter is $5 a month for 2 alerts at a time. Plus is $10 a month for up to 5.
• Plans renew monthly until you cancel. There’s no free trial.
• You can switch plans or cancel anytime from your account. Cancelling stops future charges; we don’t refund partial months.

Alerts and email

Stock alerts arrive as notifications on the phones and computers where you turn them on. You can turn them off on any device from your account or in your device’s settings. If none of your devices can get a notification, we email the alert to you instead, at most once every few hours. We also email you sign-in codes. We don’t send marketing email.

Fair use

One account per person. Don’t resell alerts or use the service to buy iPhones in bulk. We may suspend accounts that do.

No warranty

The service is provided as is. Apple can change its store at any time, which can delay or interrupt alerts. Our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the last month.

Privacy

What we collect

• Your email address, to sign you in and to email you an alert when your devices can’t get one.
• A notification address for each device where you turn on alerts. It comes from your browser’s push service and lets us send that device alerts. It isn’t your phone number.
• If you add a passkey, its public key. Face ID, Touch ID and fingerprints never leave your device; we can’t see them.
• Your ZIP code and the Apple Stores you pick.
• The iPhones you track, and a history of the alerts we send you.
• Billing details through Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

How we use it

Only to run the service: checking stock, sending alerts and sign-in codes, and billing you. We don’t sell your information or use it for ads.

Who we share it with

Stripe for payments; Apple, Google, Mozilla or Microsoft, whichever runs your browser’s push service, to deliver notifications (they see an encrypted message, not its contents); and Cloudflare to host the service, send email, and block bots. Each only gets what it needs to do its job.

Deleting your data

Cancel your plan, then email support@storestockchecker.com from the address on your account to ask us to delete it. We remove your email address, devices, passkeys, location, and alert history within 30 days.
