ShopReady Toolbelt: Privacy Policy

Effective October 19, 2026.

ShopReady Toolbelt is a construction calculator that works offline. We built it to collect nothing.

  • No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. The app does not send any data to us or to anyone else.
  • Your saved work stays on your phone: jobs, rooms, windows and doors, saved sketches, drawings, notes, material prices, the offcut rack, favorites, your defaults and settings. Deleting the app deletes them. They leave the phone only when you export them yourself: a backup file when you tap Back up, or a job PDF or text when you tap Share. Either goes only where you send it.
  • Camera is used live for the angle finder, plumb camera and flashlight. No photos or video are taken or saved.
  • Microphone is used live for the sound meter, which only measures how loud it is. To read the level, the phone's recorder has to write a short temporary audio file in the app's cache while you measure. It is deleted as soon as you stop (and when you leave the meter or switch apps), it is never played back, kept or shared, and it never leaves your phone.
  • Talking into a note uses the phone's own speech recognition, on the phone: the words go into your note and the sound isn't kept. A phone that can't recognize speech by itself asks you first; if you agree, its own speech service (Google's on Android, Apple's on iPhone) turns the speech into text under that company's privacy terms.
  • Location is used on the device to point the compass at true north and to work out the sun angle, and to add where you are to a note when you tap Here. For Here, the phone's own address lookup turns the position into a street address, which may ask its maps service (Google's or Apple's). Location is not stored anywhere except in that note.
  • Sharing (text, PDF, picture, backup, drawing or project file) only happens when you tap Share, Send or Back up, and goes to the app or person you choose. If you switch on "Share live with Field" for a job, the job is kept as a file in a folder on your phone that the ShopReady apps share (on iPhone, the apps' shared App Group; on Android, a folder you pick). It stays on your phone.
  • Purchases (the Monthly plan and Lifetime) are made through the App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google handles the payment under their own privacy terms; the app only asks the store whether a plan is active. We never see your name, card or store account. The free trial's start date is kept on your phone.

Children: the app is a work tool and doesn't knowingly collect anything from anyone, including children.
