Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how the HVAC Nameplate Scanner application handles your data. Our primary commitment is that your data stays on your device. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal or equipment data extracted through the app.
Local OCR Processing: All image scanning and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing occur 100% locally on your mobile device. Photos taken or imported into the app are analyzed in real time to extract model and serial numbers and are never uploaded to external servers or cloud services.
Camera & Media Access: The app requires access to your device's camera and photo gallery solely to allow you to take photos of HVAC nameplates or select existing images for scanning.
Personal Data: We do not collect personal identifying information (such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location).
No Cloud Storage: We do not maintain external database servers to store your scanned images or extracted serial/model numbers.
Temporary Processing: Images processed by the app are handled in temporary device memory (RAM) during active scanning and are discarded when you clear the selection or exit the app.
Google Play Store / Analytics: If downloaded via the Google Play Store, Google may collect basic standard app performance metrics (such as crash logs or aggregate download counts) governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
External Links: The app may contain links to third-party services (e.g., Google Play Store for app reviews). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or applications.
The application is a professional field utility intended for HVAC technicians and contractors. It does not address or collect information from anyone under the age of 13.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be published directly on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
