## 1. Overview
WoodTools is a woodworking utility app for cut list optimization, CNC panel nesting, calculations, sketches, and project exports. We designed the App so that most project data stays on your device unless you choose to export, share, import, or use an online account feature.
## 2. Information We Collect
### Information stored on your device
WoodTools may store the following information locally on your device:
- App settings, such as language, units, default panel size, confirmation settings, and calculator symbol preferences
- Calculator history, if enabled
- Cut list history, if enabled
- Cut projects, panels, parts, kerf settings, optimized layouts, and related project data
- Sketches and sketch settings, such as drawing data, selected tool, color, and stroke width
- Locally saved profile image files when you choose to set a profile picture
This information is used to provide the App's features and is generally not sent to us unless you choose to share, export, back up, or otherwise transfer it.
### Account information
If you create or use an account, WoodTools uses Firebase Authentication, provided by Google, to handle account registration, login, password reset, and account deletion. Depending on how you use account features, Firebase Authentication may process:
- Email address
- Password credentials
- Authentication identifiers
- Authentication metadata, such as account creation date and last sign-in date
- Firebase user agent information, such as device, operating system, app bundle ID, and developer platform
WoodTools currently supports email and password authentication.
### Files and exports
WoodTools lets you import and export files, including `.cutproject`, PDF, DXF, and PNG files. When you use iOS sharing, document picker, Files, AirDrop, Mail, Messages, cloud storage apps, or other destinations, your files are handled by Apple and/or the third-party app or service you choose. Their privacy practices apply to that transfer.
### Photo library access
If you choose to update your profile picture, WoodTools may ask for access to your photo library through the iOS photo picker. The selected image is used for your profile picture. WoodTools does not scan your photo library.
## 3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and save App features, settings, sketches, histories, and projects
- Optimize cut lists and CNC nesting layouts
- Generate previews, thumbnails, PDFs, DXF files, PNG files, and editable project files
- Authenticate accounts and support password reset or account deletion
- Maintain the App's functionality and reliability
- Respond to support requests if you contact us
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not use your project files, sketches, cut lists, or CNC layouts for advertising.
We do not use cross-app tracking for advertising.
## 4. Third-Party Services
WoodTools uses Firebase services provided by Google. The App currently includes Firebase Authentication and Firebase Database frameworks. Firebase Authentication is used for account features. Firebase Database is included in the project, and may collect Firebase user agent information if used by the App.
Firebase may process certain technical and account-related information as described in Google's Firebase documentation and Google Privacy Policy.

- Firebase App Store data disclosure guidance: https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/app-store-data-collection
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
## 5. Data Storage and Retention
Local App data stays on your device until you delete it, clear history, remove sketches, delete exported files, uninstall the App, or erase your device.
Account information handled by Firebase Authentication is retained as needed to provide account features. If you delete your account from within the App, WoodTools requests deletion of your Firebase Authentication account.
Exported files are controlled by you and by the locations or services where you save or share them.
## 6. Your Choices and Controls
You can:
- Disable calculation history in the App settings
- Disable cut list history in the App settings
- Clear saved calculation history
- Clear saved cut list history
- Delete sketches
- Delete local files you exported or saved
- Log out of your account
- Request or perform account deletion through the App
- Contact us about privacy questions or data requests
Depending on your location, you may have legal rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information associated with your account.
## 7. International Data Transfers
Firebase Authentication is operated by Google and may process authentication data in the United States. If you use WoodTools from outside the United States, your account information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your country.
## 8. Children's Privacy
WoodTools is not directed to children under 13, or to any higher minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
## 9. Security
We use platform features and third-party services intended to protect information, including iOS app sandboxing and Firebase Authentication for account management. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
## 10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
