PRIVACY

Your data.
A clear purpose.

Last updated October 17, 2026

This policy covers Calctric for iOS and Android, including preview and testing versions, and the website calctric.ca. Calctric is operated by an independent developer in British Columbia, Canada. The developer is the Calctric privacy contact responsible for privacy questions, requests and complaints. Contact calctric@gmail.com.

App calculations stay on your device

Calctric performs its calculations on your device. It does not require a Calctric account, include advertising, track you across apps or websites for advertising, or automatically send your calculations or saved records to the developer. The iOS app does not include third-party analytics. Android versions with panel-photo scanning use Google ML Kit, whose diagnostic collection is described below.

Available features vary by app version and platform. Current versions can store preferences, calculator histories, custom bender profiles, favourites, saved field-test records and Jobs locally. Jobs may contain project names, addresses, areas, notes, panel directories and saved calculation inputs, results, units and calculation settings. Saved work remains on your device between sessions until you remove it; unsaved inputs may be held only for the current session. Calctric does not upload your Jobs to a developer-operated server or provide automatic account-based synchronization.

On Android, saved Jobs and tool inventory can also include job photos, tool images, contact details, serial numbers and receipt photos or PDFs, depending on the feature and what you choose to save. These files and entries are kept in the app’s private storage. Calctric does not upload your tool inventory to a developer-operated server.

Panel-directory photos

Where available, you can choose a photo or use the camera to read an existing panel directory. On iOS, text recognition uses Apple Vision on your device. On Android, recognition uses a bundled Google ML Kit model on your device. Calctric does not upload the photo for recognition or save the source photo in the panel directory, Jobs backup or PDF report. Only circuit text that you review and import becomes part of your schedule. Camera access is optional; you can use a selected photo instead. Copies already in your photo library or created by your camera app remain under your control.

Android camera captures use temporary private cache files. The app removes them after use or cancellation; a process interruption may leave a temporary cache copy. Google ML Kit separately collects technical information such as device and app details, per-installation identifiers, performance, configuration and feature-event/error information for diagnostics and usage analytics. This is separate from the directory photo and recognized text. See Google’s ML Kit data disclosure and Google’s privacy policy. This SDK is not used by the iOS app.

Google describes its use of ML Kit metrics to maintain and improve the APIs and detect misuse, under Google’s privacy policy. This technical collection is separate from the photos and recognized text processed on your device and from reports you choose to send to Calctric.

Backups, reports and address links

When you choose to export a Jobs backup, the file can contain project details, addresses, notes, panel directories and saved calculations. PDF reports contain the job or schedule information selected for that report. You choose where to save or share these files using system controls. Calctric does not receive a copy unless you choose to send one to us. Your chosen storage, email or sharing provider handles that copy under its own terms. Calctric does not encrypt exported Jobs backups or PDF reports. Protect the destination you choose, keep backup files private and share only information you have permission to disclose.

Available Android exports may include job photos, tool images, serial numbers or receipt attachments, depending on the feature, format and items selected. Available export formats and report selections determine which records and attachments are included.

Opening a saved address in Maps passes that address to the selected mapping service. Calctric does not need to collect your device location to store an address or open that link.

Optional Android location

Location is optional on Android. You can type a job address and use the app without granting location access. Android version 0.0.15 uses foreground location only to set an optional job position or find nearby jobs. The street address is entered manually and is separate from the position; you can clear or update the position if a job moves. Positions are saved locally when you save the job, and nearby-job distances are calculated on your device. This version does not send the coordinates to an address-lookup service. Android’s own location providers may process information according to your device settings and their own terms; Calctric does not operate those providers. Earlier Android preview versions offered address lookup through the device’s geocoding service, which could contact a network provider; that provider’s practices and retention depended on the device and services. Calctric does not request background location permission. You can change location permission in Android Settings.

Device backups and local deletion

Your device or account settings may include app data in a backup or transfer it to another device. On iOS, Apple manages device backups under its own terms. On Android, app backup is enabled; Google or your device manufacturer may back up or transfer eligible local app data according to your device, Android version and settings. Calctric does not operate its own cloud backup or receive those backup copies.

You can remove saved records using the app’s available delete controls. Archiving a job hides it from the active list but does not delete it. Deleting the app removes its local app data. On Android, you can also clear the app’s storage in system settings. Restoring a device backup may restore previously saved data. Deleting local data does not delete reports you have already sent or copies retained by your backup, email or sharing provider.

Optional in-app problem reports

Reports are optional. Neither app automatically uploads a problem report to Calctric. Review the information before sharing and leave out confidential customer, employer and job-site information.

iOS

The report can include the app version/build, generic device model, iOS version, capture time, selected tool, input values and calculation result or error, together with the description, expected result and steps you enter. Where a calculation snapshot is available, you can turn off its inclusion. Reports do not automatically include your full calculation history or saved field-test notes.

You can copy or share the report. Where available, Email report opens a mail composer; you decide whether to send it. The report is held in memory unless you choose to copy, share or send it.

Android

Where Report a problem is available, the app displays the tool name and its current calculation snapshot for review. The snapshot may include input values, selected options and results or an error. Share report opens the system share sheet so you can choose an email or other app. The Android report does not currently have the iOS snapshot-off toggle or the same in-app description fields and email composer. If you do not want to share the snapshot, dismiss the report and contact us separately with only the information you choose to provide.

The Android report does not automatically add your full calculation history, device model or Android version. You may provide additional details in your chosen email or sharing app. Opening the report does not send it to us.

When you send a report

Your chosen email or sharing provider handles the information you pass to it under its own terms. If you send a report to Calctric, we receive its contents, your email address or other sender details supplied by that service, and anything else you include. We use this information to investigate, respond and improve the app, under the support, retention and deletion practices below.

Website feedback and email

The feedback form collects the topic and app area you select, your description, and optional app/device details and reply email. You may submit without an email address. We use this information to investigate problems, evaluate suggestions and respond when you provide contact details. Feedback is not published on this website and is not used to subscribe you to marketing.

Netlify hosts the site and processes form submissions. Gmail handles messages sent to our contact address and any form notification emails we configure. These providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser details and submission time for delivery, security and abuse prevention.

Android beta invitations

If you ask to join the Android beta by email, we receive your email address and any details you include. We use the Google Account email you provide to arrange access through Google Play, send joining instructions and communicate with you about testing and feedback. We add that address to the tester list in Google Play Console; Google handles that information under its own privacy policy. Beta requests do not subscribe you to marketing.

Email us to leave the beta or request removal from our tester list.

Previous launch-interest submissions

The website previously offered a launch/beta-interest form. That form is no longer active. The Android beta invitation described above is separate. If you used that form, any information already received consists of your email, beta preference and consent selection. You may ask us to remove it at any time. Existing signup records are not used to expand your consent or add you to other lists.

Apple, Google Play, testing and external links

Apple and Google handle distribution and any transactions made through their respective app stores under their own policies. Calctric does not receive your payment-card details from those stores. On iOS, the optional one-time Premium purchase and Restore purchases are handled through Apple StoreKit. The app checks Apple-verified purchase information to enable Premium and recognize eligible earlier paid-app purchases. This verification is handled on your device with Apple; Calctric does not operate a purchase-validation server or receive your Apple Account password. Apple controls its transaction records and retention.

On Android, the optional one-time Premium purchase and Restore purchases use Google Play Billing. Google handles checkout and payment credentials under its own terms; Calctric does not receive your payment-card details or Google Account password. The app requests Premium product and ownership information from Google Play, verifies Google-signed purchase information on your device and acknowledges completed purchases with Google. The Billing library also includes a technical diagnostics logger that can send billing-library events to Google. Calctric stores a signed receipt in private app storage to support offline access on that installation; this receipt cache is excluded from Android app backup. Calctric does not operate a purchase-validation server. Google controls its transaction records and retention. Clearing app data or reinstalling removes the local receipt cache; Restore purchases checks ownership with Google Play again.

If you provide TestFlight feedback or share diagnostics through Apple, Apple may make feedback and diagnostic information available to us. Google Play may also provide app statistics, crash or performance diagnostics and testing feedback through its platform, depending on the applicable services and settings. This platform-provided information is separate from the optional in-app reports described above; Calctric does not include an advertising SDK. The Android ML Kit diagnostic collection described above is separate from store-provided diagnostics.

Manufacturer, reference and other external links open services with their own privacy practices. Review the relevant provider’s policy when using those services.

Online calculators

The free online calculators run in your browser. Their measurement inputs and results are not sent to Calctric, added to form submissions or saved in browser storage by these tools. The inches calculator keeps up to 20 recent results in page memory while it is open; this temporary history is cleared when the page is reloaded or closed. The online tools do not save a persistent calculation history or synchronize with the app. Copy controls write only the result you choose to your clipboard. Ordinary website hosting and security logs described in this policy still apply.

Website storage and tracking preferences

The Calctric website code does not add advertising trackers, third-party analytics scripts or cookies. Demo videos are hosted with the website, without an embedded third-party video player. Netlify currently adds a hosting badge that may store its display preference in your browser. That preference does not contain calculator inputs or results. Hosting providers may still process access logs and security information.

The website does not change its behaviour in response to a browser’s Do Not Track signal. Calctric does not use this website to track your browsing across unrelated sites for advertising, whether that signal is on or off. Links to Apple, Google, Netlify and other external sites take you to services with their own privacy practices.

Providers, disclosure and international processing

We use the information described here to provide support, manage beta access, operate the website and improve Calctric. We do not sell or rent your personal information. Service providers may process data outside your province or country, where different privacy laws may apply. We may disclose information when required by law or as reasonably necessary to address fraud, abuse or security incidents.

Provider information: Netlify privacy policy, Google privacy policy and Apple privacy policy.

Retention and deletion

Support and feedback information is kept while needed to investigate, respond and track an unresolved issue, then deleted or stripped of identifying details when no longer needed, subject to legal obligations. Beta correspondence and tester-list entries are kept only while needed to manage the test and related feedback, then deleted or stripped of identifying details, subject to legal obligations. Previous launch-interest records are kept only while needed for their original purpose or until consent is withdrawn. Provider backups and security logs may follow separate retention schedules.

To request access, correction or deletion, or withdraw consent for a use that relies on consent, email calctric@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity. If a report was anonymous, we may not be able to identify it. You do not need an app account to make a privacy request. We respond within the time required by the applicable law and explain any lawful exception or extension. We cannot access or delete records stored only on your device or copies held in a storage destination you selected; use the relevant app, device or provider controls for those copies.

Google Play transaction records, ML Kit metrics and any geocoding-provider records from earlier Android preview versions are handled by their respective providers. A request to Calctric does not automatically erase those provider-held records. We will explain which records we can identify and act on, any applicable retention requirements, and when you need to use a provider’s own privacy controls. Clearing local app data does not delete provider-held records.

Privacy complaints

You can raise a concern with the Calctric privacy contact at calctric@gmail.com. Describe the concern and the information involved, and we will investigate and respond. You may also contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, or the regulator responsible in your jurisdiction, as applicable.

Children

Calctric is intended for electricians, apprentices and other people using trade calculations; it is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us personal information, contact the privacy contact so we can investigate and address it under applicable law. Please do not send a child’s information through the feedback form or beta-invitation email.

Security and policy updates

We take reasonable steps to protect information but cannot guarantee absolute security. Changes to our data practices will be reflected here with an updated date. Where required, we will provide notice or seek consent before materially changing how personal information is used.
