How Deck Builder handles estimates, customer details and backups.
Information stored in the app
Deck Builder stores the customer or project details you enter, deck dimensions, estimates, material and cut lists, pricing, business details and settings locally on your device. You do not need an app account.
Developer access and tracking
The current iPhone app does not send project or customer data to a developer-operated server. It has no advertising, third-party analytics SDK or cross-app tracking feature. Calculations run on your device and work offline.
Exports, sharing and backups
You can export PDFs, CSV files and complete JSON backups, and choose where to save or share them using system controls. These exports may contain customer details, project information and pricing. Once you share or save a file with another service or recipient, its handling depends on that service or recipient. Export only the information you intend to share. Complete backups include customers, saved estimates, the current draft and settings.
Retention and deletion
Your records remain in local app storage until you remove them or delete the app and its data. The app keeps a previous local store file for recovery, which may contain earlier records. Removing the app and its data removes this local storage. Copies you exported, shared or included in device backups remain in those locations until separately deleted under your settings and the provider's practices. Export a backup before deleting the app if you want to keep your work.
Support messages
If you email support, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you choose to send. Support email is handled through Google Workspace. Avoid sending private customer information unless needed for the request. Contact support@handsbuiltsoftware.com with questions or to request deletion of support messages.
Apple and other services
Apple's App Store, operating system, device backup and any sharing services you choose have their own privacy practices. These services are separate from the app's offline calculations and local records.
Website and policy updates
This support website is separate from the iPhone app. Hosting providers may process technical connection information and request logs to deliver and protect the website. See the website privacy information for details about other Hands Built Software websites. Changes to Deck Builder's data practices will be reflected on this page and in its App Store privacy information where applicable.
