The app stores only your preferences in your device's local storage, and this information never leaves your device:
We cannot access this information and it is never transmitted anywhere. Deleting the app removes it permanently.
The app works fully offline, including in Airplane Mode. It sends no requests to any server and downloads no content. Every section's dimensions are bundled inside the app, and every weight shown is calculated on your device from those dimensions — nothing is looked up online.
The bundled section dimensions are based on general engineering knowledge of the EN 10365 / EN 10056 standards and have not yet been checked against an official reference table — the app itself shows this notice on every calculation. This is a data-accuracy disclosure, not a privacy matter, but it's stated here for transparency: verify any result before relying on it for a real quote or purchase.
The app contains no advertising, no tracking, no analytics, and no third-party data collection libraries of any kind.
There are no in-app purchases. The app is free and open source (MIT License) with no restrictions.
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from any user, including children under 13.
Because we hold no data about you, there is no data to access, correct, or delete on our side. The only locally stored information (language and unit preference) is fully under your control and can be cleared by deleting the app.
This policy is consistent with Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), on the basis that the app processes no personal data.
This policy may be updated when new features are added. The effective date appears at the top of this page, and changes are published here before the relevant release ships.
