Privacy policy
Applies to the Wood Care Guide app for Android (package wood.careguide.app), version 1.0.0, and to this website.
Who this is from
This policy describes how the Wood Care Guide app handles data. For any question about it, including privacy and data requests, write to the address below. It is the only contact address.
What the app stores
The app stores what you put into it, and nothing else.
| Data | Where it comes from | Where it is kept |
|---|---|---|
| Items: name, category, wood, finish, conditions, use, place, dimensions, dates, notes | Typed by you | App storage on your phone |
| Maintenance history: date, kind of work, notes, product, cost, condition | Typed by you | App storage on your phone |
| Photos of items and of their condition before and after work | Chosen by you in the Android photo picker | Downscaled JPEG copies in the app's private folder on your phone |
| Saved calculations and checklist ticks | Created by you | App storage on your phone |
The app has no account and asks for no name, e-mail address or other personal details.
What leaves your phone
Nothing, unless you share it yourself:
- "Create PDF" builds a PDF on the phone and opens the Android share sheet. The file goes only to the app you pick.
- "Share" in the calculator passes a short text to the share sheet in the same way.
- "Contact", "Website" and "Privacy policy" open your own e-mail app or browser.
The app itself has no internet permission and makes no network requests. Because nothing is transmitted, the developer does not receive, hold or see your data.
What an app you share a file or text with does with it is up to that app and its own privacy policy.
Third parties
None. The app contains no analytics, advertising, crash reporting, cloud or sign-in services, and it does not use the advertising ID.
Permissions
The app requests no Android permissions. Photos are picked with the system photo picker, which gives the app only the picture you choose. It has no camera, storage, location, contacts, microphone or notification permission.
Notifications
None. The app does not send notifications and does not ask for permission to do so. What is due is shown inside the app.
Keeping and deleting your data
- Your data stays on the phone until you delete it: single items and records in the app, or everything under More → Your data → Delete all data.
- Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes everything.
- There is no backup. The data is excluded from Android cloud backup and from device transfer, so it is not copied to Google's servers or to a new phone.
Because the developer holds none of your data, there is nothing we could export, correct or erase for you on request. You do all of that in the app. You can still write to us with any question:
Children
The app is a general home-maintenance tool for adults. It is not directed at children.
