Where is my tool? — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026

Where is my tool? is developed by Dave Smith. This policy explains how the app handles your information.

Your inventory
The app stores information you enter, including tool names, categories, notes, photos, bins, drawers, storage locations, and move history. Storage locations are descriptions you enter, such as “Under workbench”; the app does not track your geographic location.

This information is used to organize your inventory and help you find your items.

Device storage and iCloud
Your inventory is stored on your device. When iCloud is available, the app uses Apple’s CloudKit service to synchronize inventory data through your private iCloud database across your devices.

The developer does not receive routine access to your private inventory through the app. Apple processes iCloud information under its own terms and privacy policy.

Photos
Photos are optional. The app stores copies of images you choose to attach to your inventory. These images may synchronize through iCloud with your other inventory data. Removing an attached image from the app does not delete the original from your photo library or files.

Advertising and tracking
The app contains no advertising, advertising tracking, or third-party analytics services. Your inventory is not sold or used for targeted advertising.

Support and diagnostics
If you contact support, the developer receives the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, or diagnostic report. Diagnostic reports are shared only when you choose to export and send them.

Support information is used to answer questions and investigate problems, and is retained only as needed for those purposes or applicable legal obligations. Please avoid sending passwords or sensitive inventory information.

Retention and deletion
Inventory records remain on your device and in iCloud until you delete them or remove the relevant stored data. You can edit and delete inventory items and remove attached photos within the app. Deletions synchronize when iCloud is available.

The app may retain technical deletion markers to prevent deleted records from reappearing during synchronization. Device backups, migration copies, and inventory files you export may retain earlier information. You control exported files and backups separately. Uninstalling the app does not necessarily remove its iCloud data.

You can manage the app’s iCloud access and stored data through Apple’s device and iCloud settings. Contact support for help with deletion or to request deletion of support correspondence.
