Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
Short version: there is no account, no server of ours, and nothing about your inventory ever leaves the device. The one thing that does is the words you type into Online lookup, which go to the search services named below. Everything after this is detail on that.
What we collect
Nothing. There is no account, no sign-in, no profile, no advertising, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising identifier, no device fingerprint and no telemetry of any kind.
This is not a promise about what we choose to do with data we receive. We receive none: there is no server of ours for the app to talk to.
The only requests are the searches you make
Adding an item, scanning a barcode, taking a photograph, exporting, printing labels and everything else run on your device with no connection at all. Turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data and the app keeps working.
Online lookup is the exception, and it runs only when you search in it. What is sent is the words you typed — to Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Open Food Facts, Open Library, Google Books, Openverse, Go-UPC, Buycott, barcode-list, DuckDuckGo, Seznam and UPCitemdb, and to Google only if you entered your own search key. Nothing about your items goes with them, and a picture you pick is downloaded from the site that hosts it. The app contacts nothing on its own: no sync, no telemetry, no update check.
What is stored, and where
Your items, locations, categories, collections, documents, photographs, loans, service history and settings are stored in the app's own private storage on the device — in the browser build, in that browser's local database for this site.
Nothing is stored anywhere else. There is no cloud copy, no backup we hold, and no way for us to recover your inventory if you lose the device — which is why the app asks you to make a backup file of your own.
Links you tap
A record can hold a link — a manual, a warranty registration page, a shop's order reference. Tapping one hands the address to your browser, which then loads it as it would any other page. The app does not fetch it itself, and the site you land on is subject to its own privacy policy, not this one.
Permissions, and when they are asked for
Every one of these is asked for at the moment you first use the feature that needs it, and refusing any of them leaves the rest of the app working.
- Camera — only when you open the scanner or take a photograph. Photographs are written to the app's storage, never uploaded.
- Notifications — only if you switch reminders on. The reminder lists inside the app work whether you allow them or not.
- Exact alarms and start-at-boot (Android) — so a reminder you set still fires at the right minute after the phone restarts.
- Biometrics or device credential — only if you switch the app lock on. The check is done by the operating system; the app never sees your fingerprint, face or passcode.
- Contacts — only if you tap “Pick from contacts” while lending something. Only display names are read, nothing is stored, exported or backed up, and lending works exactly the same if you never grant it.
- Photo library — only when you choose an existing picture through your system's own picker, which gives the app that one file and nothing else.
- Network — only while a lookup you started is running. There is no permission prompt for it: on Android the app declares it in the manifest, and the online search is the only thing that uses it.
What leaves the device, and only when you send it
Exports and backups are files. A CSV, a JSON export, a PDF inventory book, an evidence package or a backup zip is written where you tell your system to put it. If you then email one, put it in a shared folder or hand it to an insurer, that is you sending it — the app has no part in where it goes next.
A backup is a plain zip holding a readable JSON record and your original photographs, byte for byte. It is not encrypted, so store it where you would store the receipts it stands in for.
Children
The app collects nothing, so there is nothing to collect from anyone of any age.
Deleting your data
Settings → Delete all data removes everything the app holds, immediately and on the device. Uninstalling does the same. There is no second copy for us to delete, and nothing to request from us.
Changes to this policy
If this statement changes, the new version ships with the app update that changes the behaviour it describes.
