Yard Measure — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 August 2026
[PUBLISHER] with the legal name that
will appear as the developer on the store listing, and [CONTACT EMAIL] with the
address you are willing to publish. Both must match the Play Console and App Store Connect
entries exactly. Delete this box once done.
Yard Measure does not have a server, an account system, or any analytics.
Everything you measure stays on your own device. We cannot see your measurements, your sites, or where you have been, because none of it is ever sent to us.
Who this is from
Yard Measure is published by [PUBLISHER] ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the
app does with information. It applies to the Yard Measure app on Android and iOS and to the web
version.
What we collect
Nothing. We operate no server and no database. We do not ask you to create an account, we do not use analytics or advertising software, we do not use cookies for tracking, and we do not sell, rent, or share information about you with anyone for marketing.
There is no "delete my data" request to make, because we are not holding any.
What the app stores on your device
The app saves your work in your device's local browser storage so that it survives closing the app. This never leaves your device unless you deliberately export or share it.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Measured jobs — zones, corner points and their coordinates, areas and lengths | So a job is still there when you come back to it |
| Your site library — labels, addresses, customers, groups, notes, and a site's coordinates | So you can start a job at a place you measure regularly |
| Your settings — snow, fence and material preferences, theme | So the app does not ask you the same question twice |
| The last map position | So the map opens where you work instead of somewhere irrelevant |
To erase all of it: uninstall the app, or clear the site's storage in your browser settings. That removes everything above permanently. We keep no copy.
Location
Yard Measure asks for location permission because measuring a site by walking its corners is the main thing it does.
- Foreground only. Location is read only while the app is open and on screen. The app does not request or use background location, and does not track your movement when you are not using it.
- Used on the device. Your coordinates are used to drop measurement points, to show where you are on the map, and to estimate accuracy. They are saved with your jobs on your device.
- Not sent to us. There is nowhere for them to be sent. We have no server.
- You can refuse. If you decline location permission, the app still works — you can tap corners on the map imagery instead of walking them.
Third parties the app talks to
The app has to fetch map imagery and, if you use the search box, look up an address. Those requests go directly from your device to the providers below. As with loading any web page, those providers can see your IP address and what you asked for. We receive nothing from them about you.
| Provider | What it receives | When |
|---|---|---|
| Esri / ArcGIS Online worldwide satellite imagery |
Your IP address and the map tiles requested, which indicate the area you are looking at | Whenever the map is shown outside the local imagery areas |
| Municipality of Anchorage high-resolution local imagery and parcel outlines |
Your IP address and the map area requested | When the map is over Anchorage |
| Matanuska-Susitna Borough high-resolution local imagery and parcel outlines |
Your IP address and the map area requested | When the map is over the Mat-Su Borough |
| TomTom address search |
Your IP address and the text you typed into the search box | Only when you search for an address |
| unpkg delivers the mapping library |
Your IP address | When the app loads and the library is not already cached |
Each provider handles that data under its own privacy policy: Esri, TomTom, Municipality of Anchorage, Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
Things you choose to send
The app can produce a snapshot image, a JSON export, or a CSV of your work. Those files are created on your device and go only where you send them — an email, a message, a file in your storage. Once you share a file, it is governed by whatever service you shared it through, not by this policy.
Children
Yard Measure is a tool for site and grounds work. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone — including children — because we do not collect information at all.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, and delete personal information a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to produce or erase. The data the app creates is on your device and entirely under your control: you can view it in the app, export it, or delete it by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it, and the updated version will be posted at this address. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
