Effective Date: July 11, 2026
Thank you for using Catalog Maker. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information when you use it on an Android device.
Catalog Maker is designed as an offline-first application. Your catalogue information remains stored on your device. The App connects to the internet to download catalogue design template preview images, support Google Play In-App Updates, process Google Play purchases, collect anonymous usage analytics through Firebase Analytics, deliver optional notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), provide optional tutorial videos, and allow you to contact support if you choose to do so.
Catalog Maker stores the information you create within the App, including but not limited to:
Product details
Product images
Categories
Prices
Inventory information
Business information
Business logo
Generated catalogues
Generated PDF files
This information is stored locally on your device using Android's Room (SQLite) database.
We do not upload, synchronize, or store your catalogue data, product information, business information, generated catalogues, or PDF files on our own servers. Anonymous analytics information may be collected through Google Firebase Analytics as described in this Privacy Policy.
Catalog Maker uses the Android Photo Picker to allow you to select images for products or your business logo.
The Android Photo Picker grants the App access only to the specific images that you choose. The App does not request broad access to your photo library, scan your media files, or access photos that you have not selected.
No photo or storage permissions are requested by the App.
Notifications
On devices running Android 13 or later, the App requests notification permission before sending notifications. You may choose whether to allow or deny notifications at any time through your device settings. Denying notification permission does not affect the core functionality of the App.
The App uses an internet connection for the following purposes:
Downloading catalogue design template preview images hosted on Google Firebase Storage.
Supporting Google Play In-App Updates.
Opening optional tutorial videos hosted on YouTube.
Allowing you to send support requests using your preferred email application.
Processing purchases and subscription verification through Google Play Billing.
Collecting anonymous usage statistics and app performance information through Firebase Analytics.
Delivering optional notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Your catalogue data, business information, product details, generated catalogues, and PDF files are not transmitted to our servers.
Images selected using the Android Photo Picker remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to share them.
The App downloads catalogue design template preview images hosted on Google Firebase Storage so you can browse available catalogue layouts.
These template images are created and provided by us. They do not contain your personal information or catalogue data.
No user-created content, product information, business information, generated catalogues, or PDF files are uploaded to Firebase Storage.
The App uses Google Play Services to support features such as Google Play In-App Updates.
Google may collect limited technical information required to provide these services in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

The App may provide links to tutorial videos hosted on YouTube to help you learn how to use certain features.
When you choose to watch a tutorial, the video is opened using the YouTube app or your device's web browser. Your interaction with YouTube is governed by Google's and YouTube's own privacy policies.

Firebase Analytics

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
The App uses Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to deliver optional notifications, such as feature updates, announcements, or other important information related to the App. To enable this service, Firebase may generate a unique registration token associated with your installation. Notification delivery is provided by Google Firebase. We do not use FCM to access your catalogue data, product information, business information, generated catalogues, or PDF files.

If you choose to contact us using the App's support feature, your email application will open with a pre-filled email containing:
The support message that you enter.
Your device model.
Your Android version.
This information is included solely to help us diagnose and resolve technical issues.
The email is sent only after you review it and choose to send it. We do not automatically transmit this information.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your catalogue data, product information, business information, generated catalogues, or PDF files with advertisers or other third parties. Anonymous analytics information may be processed by Google Firebase Analytics to help improve the App. Payment transactions are securely processed through Google Play Billing.
When you choose to share an exported catalogue or PDF using Android's Share menu, the selected file is shared only with the application that you choose.
The App uses Android's secure FileProvider mechanism when sharing files.
All information you create within Catalog Maker remains stored locally on your device until you delete it.
You may:
Delete products and categories within the App.
Delete generated catalogues and exported files.
Clear the App's data through Android Settings.
Uninstall the App to remove its local data from your device.
Anonymous analytics information collected through Firebase Analytics is retained by Google according to Google's data retention policies.
If Android device backup is enabled, certain application data may be included in encrypted backups managed by Android according to your device settings.
Catalog Maker is intended for general business and productivity use.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
Because user-created catalogue information remains stored locally on the device and is not transmitted to our servers, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, legal requirements, or Google Play policies.
Any updates will be posted with a revised Effective Date.
