INTRODUCTION eID-Me is a secure digital identity app. eID-Me digitizes and securely stores government-issued identity and self-managed identity information on your iPhone. eID-Me makes online identity verification quicker, easier, and more secure by eliminating passwords and strengthening privacy. eID-Me cannot currently be used as a substitute for legal identification. Our goal is to improve access to services that require verified identity, including government, financial, health care, and more. If you want to help speed up eID-Me integrations, spread the word. Share eID-Me content on social media. Show eID-Me to friends. Learn more at: eid-me.com/share. HOW IT WORKS During registration, use your iPhone to prove your identity by taking a selfie with liveness check, and scanning your government-issued photo identity documents (e.g., driver’s licence, passport). Your iPhone is then issued a unique eID-Me digital identity, which includes a digital certificate with identity claims (verified pieces of information about you). You can then use your eID-Me digital identity to easily access services and securely share identity information in identity transactions both online and offline (in person). PRIVACY AND SECURITY Your identity information is always in your possession on your iPhone. It is never hosted by a centralized service or third-party provider or stored in the cloud. Once your identity information is verified, a secure certificate is installed on your iPhone. That information is not accessible to anyone but you, until you choose to share it in a transaction. eID-Me’s digital wallet is protected on the iPhone with strong encryption, leveraging its hardware security mechanisms, and is bound to your authentication method (e.g., Face ID, Touch ID, PIN). BENEFITS AND FEATURES • Secure digital ID on your iPhone. • Secure digital wallet on your iPhone containing your identity with verified ID information. • No cloud storage of your identity information. • Strong encryption and certificate-based authentication. • eID-Me identity is bound to your iPhone’s authentication method (e.g., Face ID, Touch ID, PIN). • Strong privacy protection with complete control over your identity and information.

MileShift is a no-nonsense mileage and shift tracker built for self-employed drivers, gig workers, and small-business owners who need an IRS-compliant log without giving up their data. Everything stays on your phone. Your trips and timesheets live in a database on your device — not in our cloud. No sign-up is needed to track; an optional account (email only) exists for subscription sync. WHAT MILESHIFT TRACKS • Business mileage — record start and end addresses, distance, and trip purpose. • Work shifts — clock in and out with one tap; clean log of hours per day, week, or month. • Saved places — tag home, office, and frequent destinations once, pick them in two taps. • Trip history — review, edit, and categorize past trips at any time. WHY LOCAL-FIRST Most mileage apps ship your driving data to a third-party server. MileShift doesn't. No analytics or ad SDKs. If you delete the app, your data is gone — because it was only ever on this device. A good fit if you: • Take privacy seriously. • Want to keep your mileage log even if a subscription company shuts down. • Need a tool that works offline. IRS-READY REPORTS MileShift exports your trip log as CSV and PDF with the columns the IRS expects — date, business purpose, start and end addresses, and total miles. Email, AirDrop, or save to your preferred cloud once a quarter. WHAT YOU GET FREE 30-day unlimited trial of every feature. No credit card up front, no auto-bill. AFTER THE TRIAL $1.99/month or $19.99/year (first month free) unlocks unlimited trips, shifts, and exports. Purchases handled by Apple; no payment data is ever sent to us. PRIVACY • No account needed to track — an optional email-only account powers subscription sync. • No analytics, no advertising IDs. • No background network calls for your trip data. • Your trips stay on your device — there is no server copy of where you've been. The app only reaches out to validate your subscription and, when you search for a place, to look up that address. SUPPORT Questions? Email hello@mile-shift.com — a real person reads it. MileShift.

Verdict
