Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Introduction

Handy ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Handy is designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All measurements, projects, and preferences are stored exclusively on your device.

Device Sensors & Camera

Handy uses your device's hardware sensors and camera to provide its tools. This data is:

  • Processed locally and in real-time on your device
  • Never recorded, transmitted, or stored beyond the current session
  • Never shared with third parties
  • Under your complete control via iOS permission settings

Permissions We Request

Handy requests the following permissions, each tied to specific tools:

  • Camera — Used for AR measurements (Tape Measure, Room Measure) and Color Finder. No images or video are stored or transmitted.
  • Motion Sensors — Used for Level, Plumb Bob, Compass, and Angle Finder. Sensor data is processed in real-time and not stored.
  • Microphone (optional) — Used only for the Noise Meter. Audio is analyzed locally for decibel levels and is never recorded or transmitted.
  • Location (optional) — Used only for Compass heading accuracy. Location data is not stored or shared.

Data Storage

Projects, measurements, notes, and color data are saved locally on your device as JSON files. Preferences are stored via UserDefaults. No data is synced to any cloud service or external server.

Subscriptions

Handy Pro subscriptions are processed entirely through Apple's App Store using StoreKit. We do not have access to your payment information. Apple's privacy policy governs subscription transactions.

Third-Party Services

Handy does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Children's Privacy

Handy can be used by users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children or anyone else.
