ArchiveR (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Policy explains what information is processed, how it is used, and your rights.

1. Data Processing Overview

ArchiveR is designed to operate primarily on-device.

Core inventory functionality works locally on your device.

No account system is currently required
No cloud sync is currently used
No backend database is used for core inventory storage
We do not collect personal data such as email, name, or account credentials

Some optional metadata lookup features may connect to third-party public data providers when explicitly initiated by the user.

2. Locally Stored Data (On-Device Only)

The app uses local device storage and SQLite database storage to function properly. This data does not leave your device unless you manually export it.

Stored data may include:

• Inventory items
• Custom categories
• Custom fields
• Item quantities
• Price/value information
• Locations such as rooms, shelves, boxes, warehouses, etc.
• Notes
• Tags
• Barcode / QR code mappings
• Inventory movement history
• Photos attached to items
• Dashboard preferences
• Language settings
• Currency preferences
• App settings
• Cached metadata imported by the user

This data is stored only to:

• Provide core app functionality
• Enable inventory and collection management
• Support offline usage
• Remember user preferences
• Store item history and local analytics

3. Processing Purposes

All core app data is processed locally for:

• Inventory tracking
• Collection management
• Stock quantity management
• Barcode / QR code recognition
• Location tracking
• Search and filtering
• Dashboard summaries and analytics
• Price tracking
• Movement history
• Backup/export functionality
• User customization and preferences

4. Barcode / QR Code Processing

ArchiveR supports barcode and QR code scanning.

Scanned codes are processed locally to:

• Link products/items
• Recognize previously saved inventory
• Open linked item or location records
• Create custom ArchiveR QR mappings

ArchiveR-generated QR codes contain only compact identifiers, not full inventory data.

5. Optional Metadata Lookup Services

ArchiveR may offer optional metadata lookup features to help populate item information.

Examples may include:

• Book metadata lookup
• Food product metadata lookup
• Video game metadata lookup

These lookups occur only when explicitly initiated by the user.

Limited lookup information such as barcode, ISBN, or search queries may be sent directly to the relevant third-party service solely to complete the requested lookup.

Imported metadata remains editable by the user.

Core app functionality does not depend on external metadata services.

6. Advertising & Tracking

ArchiveR displays advertisements via Google AdMob.

Google AdMob may process limited technical information in accordance with Google’s privacy practices, which may include:

• Device identifiers
• Advertising identifiers where applicable
• App interaction data
• Diagnostic information

We do not directly access or control advertising data collected by Google.

Google Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy

Where required by applicable law, consent options may be presented before personalized advertising is shown.

7. Subscriptions & Payments

ArchiveR currently does not offer subscriptions or in-app purchases.

If premium features or paid services are introduced in future versions, this Policy will be updated accordingly.

8. Third-Party Services

ArchiveR may use external third-party services such as:

• Google AdMob for advertising
• Optional metadata lookup providers

These services operate under their own privacy policies.

9. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data.

We do not share your locally stored inventory data with third parties.

Third-party communication may occur only when:

• Advertisements are served
• The user explicitly performs metadata lookup requests

10. Data Retention & Deletion

All app data is stored locally on your device.

Data remains until:

• You delete it manually
• You reset app data
• You uninstall the app

Uninstalling the app removes locally stored app data, subject to your device platform behavior.

Exported backups created by the user remain under the user’s control.

11. User Rights

Since ArchiveR primarily stores data locally:

• You control your stored inventory data directly
• You may edit or delete your data at any time
• Uninstalling the app removes local app data

For third-party advertising or metadata services, relevant rights are governed by those providers.

12. Data Security

ArchiveR is designed to minimize privacy risk by storing core data locally on your device.

However, no software environment can guarantee absolute security.

Users are responsible for securing their own devices and exported backups.

13. Children’s Privacy

ArchiveR is intended for users aged 13 and above.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

14. International Data Transfer

Core inventory data remains on your device.

If advertising services or optional metadata lookup services are used, limited technical data may be processed by third-party providers in jurisdictions outside your country.

16. Policy Updates

We may update this Policy if app features, third-party services, or legal requirements change.

Updates will be reflected with a new “Last updated” date.

Continued use of the app implies acceptance of the updated policy.
