Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 14, 2025

Detailing Alchemist ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data the Detailing Alchemist mobile application ("App") and website ("Website") collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

1. Overview

Detailing Alchemist is designed with a privacy-first approach. The App works entirely offline (except for SDS downloads) and does not require an account. We collect as little data as possible.

2. Data the App Collects

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All of the following data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us:

  • Custom product entries you create
  • Your Arsenal (inventory) data and stock levels
  • Favourited products
  • Equipment calibration settings
  • App preferences (units, default volumes, language)
  • Downloaded Safety Data Sheets

Data We Do Not Collect

  • We do not collect personal information (name, email, phone number) through the App
  • We do not track your location
  • We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs in the App
  • We do not collect usage data or telemetry
  • We do not use advertising identifiers
  • We do not share any data with third parties through the App

3. Camera Access

The App requests camera access solely for the Barcode Scanner feature. Camera data is processed on-device in real time and is never stored, recorded, or transmitted. You can deny camera access and continue to use all other features of the App.

4. Safety Data Sheet Downloads

When you download a Safety Data Sheet, the App connects to a third-party URL (provided by the product manufacturer) to fetch the PDF file. This network request is subject to the hosting provider's own privacy practices. We do not act as an intermediary or log these requests.

5. Subscription Data

Pro subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details. Subscription status is verified on-device through Apple's StoreKit framework.

6. Data the Website Collects

Contact Forms

The Website includes optional Feature Request and Bug Report forms. If you choose to submit a form, the following data may be collected:

  • Name (optional)
  • Email address (optional)
  • Form responses (category, description, device info, etc.)

Form submissions are processed by Netlify (our hosting provider). Data submitted through forms is stored on Netlify's servers and is accessible only to us. We use this data solely to review feature requests and bug reports. Netlify's privacy policy applies to the processing of form data.

Hosting

The Website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, access times) as part of its hosting infrastructure.

Analytics

The Website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our pages. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and general geographic region. This data is processed by Google and helps us improve the Website. Google Analytics may use cookies. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Since the App collects no personal data, there is no mechanism through which children's data could be collected.

8. Data Retention

  • App data: Stored on your device until you delete the App or clear its data. We have no access to this data.
  • Website form submissions: Retained on Netlify for as long as needed to address the feedback, after which they may be deleted.

9. Your Rights

Since the App stores data only on your device, you have full control:

  • Delete the App to remove all locally stored data
  • Manage App permissions (camera) through iOS Settings
  • Manage your subscription through App Store account settings

For data submitted through website forms, you may contact us to request deletion.

10. Third-Party Services

The App and Website interact with the following third-party services:

  • Apple App Store / StoreKit: Subscription processing and verification
  • SDS hosting providers: Safety Data Sheet PDF downloads (various manufacturer-provided URLs)
  • Netlify: Website hosting and form submission processing
  • Google Analytics: Anonymous website usage analytics
  • Google Fonts: Web font delivery for the Website

Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
