Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to every application developed and published by andrewlong.com, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") across all platforms, including iOS, watchOS, macOS, and Windows. It covers all of our apps, including any released after this policy was last updated. You can see the full list of our apps on the projects page.

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

We believe in building apps that respect your privacy. Our applications are designed with a privacy-first approach, meaning we collect minimal data and keep your information on your device whenever possible.

Information We Collect and Store

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

Our apps use local storage (via platform frameworks such as SwiftData and CoreData on Apple platforms, or local app data storage on Windows) to save your information directly on your device. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Public Data Requests

Some of our apps look up public reference data to show you results, such as government records, weather, or listing data. Those requests fetch public information only. They do not include your personal information, and nothing you have saved in the app is sent with them.

Data We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we don't do:

• We do not collect personal information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• We do not require you to create an account
• We do not save your location
• We do not use analytics or tracking services
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties
• We do not display advertisements or work with ad networks

This applies to our apps. This website, andrewlong.com, uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people find useful.

Photo and File Access (When Applicable)

Some of our apps may request permission to access your photo library or files to allow you to:

• Attach photos to achievements or entries
• Save photos generated by the app

You have full control:

• This permission is entirely optional
• You can deny access and still use the core features of the app
• Photos you select are stored locally on your device only
• We never upload or access your photos without your explicit action

How We Use Your Information

Since all data is stored locally on your device:

• We use it solely to provide the app's functionality
• It remains under your control at all times
• You can delete all app data by deleting the app from your device

Data Security

Your data is protected by:

• Your operating system's built-in security features and app sandboxing
• Local storage encryption (when enabled on your device)
• No transmission of your saved data over networks (it stays on your device)

Your Data Rights

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is accessible within the app
• Modification: Edit or update your data anytime
• Deletion: Delete items or remove the app entirely
• Export: Some apps provide export functionality

Children's Privacy

Our apps do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. The apps are designed to be used by individuals of all ages, with all data stored locally on the device. We do not collect personal information from any users, regardless of age.

Changes to Apps and Features

As we add new features to our apps, we may introduce new types of local data storage. Any significant changes to data handling will be reflected in an updated version of this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Services

Our apps are designed to operate independently, aside from the public data sources described above. If we ever integrate third-party services (such as cloud backup or social sharing), we will:

• Update this Privacy Policy
• Notify you within the app
• Request your explicit consent before enabling such features

International Users

Our apps store data locally on your device, regardless of your location. We do not transfer data internationally because we do not collect or transmit data from your device.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our apps or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

How you'll be notified of changes:

• The updated policy will be posted at this URL
• If we make significant changes, we may notify users through an in-app message
• Continued use of our apps after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

Your Acceptance of These Terms

By downloading and using our applications, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our applications.

This privacy policy is designed to be transparent and easy to understand. If you have suggestions for improving it, please contact us.
