Privacy Policy for MyItemizer

Last Updated: September 21, 2026

Introduction

MyItemizer ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how MyItemizer handles your information when you use our mobile application.

Overview

MyItemizer is a privacy-first application. All your data stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of your personal information on external servers.

Information Collection and Storage

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

MyItemizer stores the following information exclusively on your device:

  • Item Information: Product names, brands, model numbers, purchase prices, and purchase dates

  • Warranty Information: Warranty lengths, expiration dates, and warranty types

  • Photos: Images of receipts, products, manuals, and related documentation

  • Payment Methods: Names of credit cards or payment methods (no card numbers or financial details)

  • Categories: Custom category names you create

  • Reminders: Warranty expiration reminders and document upload reminders

  • Notes: Any notes or descriptions you add to items

  • Contacts: If you chose to record that you've lent an item to someone, the app stores the borrower's name and the phone number or email you provide. You may type these or choose a contact from your device. The app reads only the single contact you select; it never reads or uploads the contact's information or your contact list.

What We Do NOT Collect

  • Personal identification information

  • Financial information (credit card numbers, bank accounts)

  • Location data

  • Browsing history

  • Any data to external servers or third parties

Permissions Used

MyItemizer requests the following permissions to function properly:

Camera Permission

  • Purpose: To capture photos of receipts, products, and warranty documents

  • Usage: Photos are saved directly to the app's private storage on your device.

  • Your Control: You can deny this permission; the app will still function, but you won't be able to take photos

Photos/Media Access Permission

  • Purpose: To allow you to select existing photos and/or files from your device to add to items

  • Usage: Selected photos and/or files are copied to the app's private storage

  • Your Control: You can deny this permission; the app will still function, but you won't be able to select photos and/or files from your device

Notifications Permission

  • Purpose: To send you warranty expiration reminders and document upload reminders

  • Usage: Reminders are generated locally on your device based on the warranty dates you enter

  • Your Control: You can deny this permission or disable notifications in your device settings

Contacts Permission

  • Purpose: To record who has borrowed an item by selecting that person, rather than typing their details by hand

  • Usage: When you tap to choose a contact, your device's own contact picker opens and the app receives only the single person you select, storing their name and either a phone number or an email address with that loan record on your device, and it never reads, uploads, or otherwise accesses the rest of your contact list

  • Your Control: You can deny this permission; the app will still function, but you will have to manually type in the name and phone number or email address for the person borrowing your item

Data Transmission

MyItemizer operates offline and stores all your personal data locally on your device. The app does not collect, transmit, or store your personal information on external servers.

Network Usage

The app works offline; it makes no network requests

Data Backup and Export

Your Control Over Data

You have complete control over your data:

  • Export: You can export all your data at any time from within the app

  • Delete: You can delete individual items or clear all data from the app settings

  • Backup: If you enable device backups (through your device's operating system), your MyItemizer data may be included in those backups

  • Uninstall: Uninstalling the app will delete all MyItemizer data from your device

Android Backup

If you have enabled Android's Auto Backup feature, your device's operating system may back up MyItemizer data to your Google account. This backup is controlled by Android's backup system, not by MyItemizer. You can manage Android backups in your device's Settings > System > Backup.

Third-Party Services

MyItemizer does not use third-party services

MyItemizer does NOT use:

  • Analytics services

  • Advertising networks

  • Tracking tools

  • Social media integrations

  • Cloud storage services

  • User account systems

Children's Privacy

MyItemizer does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. The app is designed for general audiences and does not contain any age-restricted content. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has used the app, they can simply uninstall it to remove all associated data.

Data Security

How We Protect Your Data

  • Local Storage Only: All your personal data (purchases, warranties, photos, notes, payment methods) is stored in your device's private app storage, which is protected by your device's operating system

  • Personal Data Never Transmitted: Your personal information, purchase details, warranty data, and photos never leave your device

  • Device Security: Your data is as secure as your device. We recommend:

    • Using a strong device lock (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, or face recognition)

    • Keeping your device's operating system updated

    • Not rooting or jailbreaking your device

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your device

  • Creating regular backups if you want to preserve your data

  • Securing any exported data files

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Access Your Data: All your data is always accessible within the app

  • Export Your Data: Export all your data at any time in a standard format

  • Delete Your Data: Delete individual items or all data from the app settings

  • Modify Your Data: Edit any information you've entered at any time

  • Revoke Permissions: Disable camera, photos, or notification permissions in your device settings

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

  • The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy will be revised

  • If there are significant changes, we will notify you through the app

  • Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

Data Retention

MyItemizer retains your data indefinitely on your device unless you:

  • Delete individual items

  • Clear all data from the app settings

  • Uninstall the application

There are no automatic data deletion policies since all data remains on your device under your control.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. However, since MyItemizer does not collect or transmit any personal information to external servers, these rights are inherently protected by the app's design:

  • Right to Know: All data is visible within the app

  • Right to Delete: You can delete all data at any time

  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell any personal information

  • Right to Non-Discrimination: Not applicable as we don't collect data

European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights. MyItemizer's design inherently protects these rights:

  • Right to Access: All your data is accessible within the app

  • Right to Rectification: You can edit any information at any time

  • Right to Erasure: You can delete data or uninstall the app

  • Right to Data Portability: You can export your data at any time

  • Right to Object: Not applicable as we don't process data externally

Since MyItemizer stores all data locally on your device and does not transmit it anywhere, there is no data controller or processor in the traditional GDPR sense.
