Privacy Policy for NESS — Strength & Macro Vault
Published by: DcluttrD Solutions (https://dcluttrdsolutions.com)
Package: com.nessdrive.tracker
Effective Date: November 3, 2026
1. Overview & Core Philosophy
NESS ("NESS - Strength & Macro Vault") is engineered from the ground up with a strict local-first, zero-telemetry architecture. We believe your physical training records, nutrition logs, and progress check-in photos belong strictly to you. We do not operate remote tracking databases, we do not require user accounts, and we never collect, monetize, or sell your health, workout, or personal data.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
• No User Accounts: You are not required to create an account, log in, or provide your name, email address, or phone number.
• No Workout or Nutrition Telemetry: Your exercises, sets, weights, reps, baselines, RPE numbers, bodyweight logs, and macronutrient targets are never transmitted to our servers or third parties.
• No Tracking SDKs or Analytics: NESS contains zero tracking libraries—no Google Analytics, no Firebase Analytics, no Facebook SDK, and no advertising networks.
• No Location Tracking: NESS never requests, accesses, or monitors your GPS or geographical location.
3. Device Hardware Permissions & Usage
NESS requests device permissions strictly to power real-time, on-device features you explicitly initiate:
• Camera Permission (android.permission.CAMERA): Used exclusively when you choose to scan food barcodes or capture progress photos for your private physique vault. Camera feeds are processed in real time on your phone's processor. Video frames and photos are never uploaded, streamed, or transmitted to any external server.
• Microphone Permission (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO): Used exclusively when you activate the hands-free voice logging feature to dictate your workout sets and reps. Audio is processed via your device's built-in speech-to-text service in real time and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted by NESS.
• Biometric Hardware (android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC): Used strictly to enable local Vault Lock via your device's fingerprint or face unlock. Authentication is handled entirely by your operating system's secure biometric hardware. NESS never accesses, reads, or stores your biometric fingerprints or facial scan data.
• Haptic Vibration (android.permission.VIBRATE): Used to deliver silent physical buzzer cues for workout rest interval timers.
4. Where Your Data Is Stored
All workout routines, macro records, and check-in photos are stored locally on your device in secure app-private storage. You maintain 100% ownership of your data at all times. You can export a plain-text JSON backup of your entire vault at any time via Settings.
5. Cloud Backups (Operating System Level)
If you have standard operating system cloud backups enabled on your device (such as Google One / Google Drive Device Backup), your local application data is backed up to your personal cloud account in accordance with Google's platform privacy policies. DcluttrD Solutions has zero access to these encrypted system backups.
6. Children’s Privacy
NESS is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13.
