Built Useful develops straightforward, practical applications designed to collect as little personal information as possible.
Our applications are designed to prioritise local device storage, user control and privacy.
This policy explains how applications published by Built Useful handle information. Each application has its own section describing its features, permissions and data handling.
Built Useful does not sell users' personal information.
Keeping It Covered is designed to store reminders and life-administration information locally on the user's device.
The app does not require an account or sign-in.
Information entered into the app, including reminders, dates, costs, notes, receipts, documents, images and PDFs, remains stored on the user's device unless the user chooses to export or share it.
Built Useful does not receive or store this information.
Camera: Used when the user chooses to photograph receipts or documents.
Files and photos: Used when the user chooses to attach or access documents and images.
Notifications and alarms: Used to provide reminders requested by the user.
Keeping It Covered does not use advertising SDKs, analytics services or third-party tracking.
Any currency preference selected in the app is stored locally and used to display monetary amounts entered by the user.
Keeping It Covered does not connect to bank accounts, provide currency exchange services or perform financial transactions.
Keeping It Covered includes an optional link allowing users to support development through PayPal.
If the user chooses to use this link, they leave the app and the payment is handled by PayPal under PayPal's own terms and privacy policy.
Keeping It Covered does not receive or store the user's payment card or banking details.
PayPal may provide Built Useful with transaction information associated with the payment.
Supporting development is entirely optional and does not unlock features or change how the app operates.
BossManCam is a camera-based application designed for site work, inspections, audits, photographic records and job reporting.
Its purpose is to allow users to capture photographs and immediately associate notes and location information with them.
Depending on the features used, BossManCam may store:
Photographs taken within the app.
Photographs, screenshots or files selected by the user.
Written notes and descriptions.
Voice-dictated notes converted into text.
GPS coordinates associated with photographs or jobs.
Job names and folders.
Generated PDF reports.
This information is stored locally on the user's device.
Built Useful does not operate a central database of users' jobs, photographs, notes or reports.
The app does not require an account or sign-in.
Camera access is used when the user chooses to take a photograph.
Photographs are stored locally and associated with the relevant job or record.
BossManCam does not automatically upload photographs to Built Useful.
Microphone access is used when the user chooses to dictate a note.
Speech recognition may be provided through the device's installed speech-recognition service.
Depending on the device, service provider and user settings, speech recognition may involve processing audio through an external service, such as Google's speech-recognition services.
Any such processing is subject to the relevant service provider's privacy terms.
Built Useful does not independently receive or store users' voice recordings on its own servers.
Users can enter notes by typing instead of using voice recognition.
BossManCam uses device location services to associate GPS coordinates with photographs or job records.
Location information is used to document where photographs or observations were made.
Location details may also appear in generated reports.
Built Useful does not use this information to track users remotely and does not receive a live record of their movements.
BossManCam may allow users to view recorded locations on a map or open them in Google Maps.
Opening an external mapping service may transfer the selected location to that service. The external service's own privacy policy and terms apply.
Users can create PDF reports containing photographs, notes and associated job information.
These reports are generated for the user's own records.
If a user chooses to share a report or other information using email, messaging, cloud storage or another application, that information is handled by the selected service under its own privacy policy.
Built Useful does not automatically receive copies of exported reports.
BossManCam is designed without advertising, analytics services or third-party tracking SDKs.
Users can manage and delete locally stored jobs, photographs and reports using available app features.
Locally stored app data can also be removed by clearing the application's data or uninstalling the app, subject to files the user has separately exported or saved elsewhere.

The app is designed to operate offline and does not require an account or sign-in.
Calculations and mathematical operations are processed locally on the user's device.
Built Useful does not receive or store users' calculations.
The app provides temporary calculation history during the current app session.
Calculation history is not intended to be permanently stored, uploaded or backed up by Built Useful.

Not So Simple Calculator is designed without advertising, analytics services or third-party tracking SDKs.
Users can clear temporary calculation history within the app.
Locally stored preferences and progress can be removed by clearing the application's data or uninstalling the app.
The Built Useful applications described above are designed primarily to store their working information locally on the user's device.
Built Useful does not operate a central cloud account or storage service for these applications.
Information retained locally may remain on the device until the user deletes it, clears the app's data or uninstalls the application.
Device manufacturers and operating systems may provide their own backup or restoration services. Such services operate according to the user's device settings and the relevant provider's privacy policy.
Users are responsible for safeguarding information they choose to export, share or store with third-party services.
Some app functions may interact with services outside Built Useful when selected by the user.
Examples include:
PayPal for optional support payments in Keeping It Covered.
Device speech-recognition services when using voice dictation in BossManCam.
Google Maps or other installed mapping applications.
Applications selected by users to share files or PDF reports.
Google Play for app purchases, distribution and updates.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Built Useful does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party services.
Built Useful respects the privacy of everyone using its applications.
Our applications are designed to minimise personal information collection and, wherever practical, keep user-created information on the user's own device.
Built Useful does not sell personal information or use advertising or tracking services in the applications covered by this policy.
If users contact Built Useful directly, information they voluntarily provide, such as their email address and support enquiry, may be used to respond to their request, resolve problems or meet applicable legal obligations.
Such correspondence is not used for unsolicited marketing.
Users may contact Built Useful to ask about information held about them or request its deletion, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Users may contact Built Useful with questions about privacy, information handling or their rights under applicable data protection legislation.
Because the applications described above primarily store information locally, Built Useful generally cannot access, retrieve or directly delete information held only on a user's device.
For personal information provided directly to Built Useful, such as correspondence or support enquiries, users may request information about how it is handled or ask for deletion where applicable.
This privacy policy may be updated when Built Useful releases additional applications, introduces features or changes how information is handled.
Material changes will be reflected in the updated policy.
The latest version will be available on the Built Useful privacy policy webpage.

Purchases made through Google Play or the Apple App Store are processed by the relevant app store provider under its own terms and privacy policy.
Built Useful does not directly collect or store customers' payment card numbers or banking details when they purchase applications through these stores.
App store providers may supply Built Useful with sales reports, transaction references, purchase or refund information, and other information necessary for accounting, customer support, legal compliance and managing app distribution.
This information is used only for legitimate business purposes, including financial records, sales administration and responding to purchase-related enquiries.
Refunds and purchase enquiries are handled in accordance with the applicable app store's procedures and consumers' statutory rights.
Purchasing an application does not require users to create a separate Built Useful account.
