Privacy Policy

Summary: Land Measure for iPhone and iPad doesn’t collect data. There is no account, no tracking, and the app contains no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. Your measurements, GPS points and photos stay on your device. Purchases of Land Measure Pro are handled by Apple through the App Store.

1. Data we don’t collect

NextOne Labs LLC doesn’t run any server that receives data from the app, and the app has no sign-in. We don’t collect your location, measurements, names, notes, photos, contact details, identifiers, usage data or diagnostics. The app doesn’t track you across apps or websites and doesn’t show the App Tracking Transparency prompt.

2. Data that stays on your device

• Measurements: the points of each area, distance or GPS track (latitude, longitude and, for GPS points, altitude, accuracy and time), with names, notes, tags, projects and units, are stored in the app’s private database on your device, protected by iOS Data Protection and excluded from iCloud and computer backups.
• Photos you attach to a measurement are saved as files in the app’s private storage.
• Settings such as units, coordinate format and map type are stored on the device.
• Backups: Settings → Create Backup writes a backup file to the app’s folder in the Files app (On My iPhone or On My iPad › Land Measure), and you can save or share it wherever you choose. The app doesn’t use iCloud itself.

3. Location

The app asks for location access while you use the app, never “Always”. It uses your location to show where you are on the map, to place GPS points, to record a GPS walk or track that you start, and to average GPS fixes for a point. Recording and averaging need precise location. While a recording you started is running, it continues with the screen off and while you use other apps; iOS shows the location indicator, and the recording’s area or distance appears on the Lock Screen. Recording stops when you stop it. Your location is processed on the device and stored only in the app’s database, as part of the measurements you save.

You can deny location and still measure by tapping the map, tracing or typing coordinates. You can change the permission at any time in your device’s Settings › Apps › Land Measure › Location.

4. Camera and photos

• Camera: used only when you take a photo to attach to a measurement.
• Choosing photos: when you add photos from your library, iOS’s photo picker gives the app only the photos you pick.
• Saving to Photos: used only when you choose to save a diagram or photo to your photo library (add only).

5. Apple services

• Maps (MapKit): map tiles are provided by Apple Maps, Apple’s system service, which receives the map area you view under Apple’s privacy policy.
• Suggested place names (optional, off by default): if you turn on “Suggest names from address” in Settings, the center of a shape is sent to Apple’s address lookup service when you save it, to suggest a name. That is Apple’s real-time service; we don’t receive or keep it.
• Purchases (StoreKit): Land Measure Pro is bought through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; the app only checks your purchase on the device. We never see your payment details.

6. Exports and sharing

Exports (KML, CSV and, with Pro, GPX, KMZ, GeoJSON, PDF and PNG) and backups are created only when you ask, and go only where you send or save them through the share sheet or Files. Files you import are read on your device. Send Feedback in Settings opens your own Mail app.

7. Deleting your data

Delete measurements in the app (they wait 30 days in the Trash, then are removed with their photos), or delete the app to remove all of its data from the device. Backup files and exports you saved or shared stay where you put them. Because we hold no data, there is nothing for us to delete on a server, and there is no account to delete.

8. Children

Land Measure is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

9. Changes

If a future version adds any data collection, we will update this policy and the App Store privacy details before that version is released, with a new effective date.
