Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Utility Meter (the "Application") handles your information. By using the Application, you agree to the terms of this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

The Application is designed to help you track utility meter readings. Most data is stored locally on your device.

• Local Data: All meter readings, property details, and calculation settings you enter are stored locally on your device using an internal database. We do not have access to this data.
• Personal Information: We do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number, unless you explicitly provide it for support purposes or when using third-party services like Google Drive.

2. Third-Party Services

The Application may use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:

• Google Play Services: Used for application functionality and updates.
• Google Drive API: If you choose to use the Backup/Restore feature, the Application will request access to your Google Drive account. This access is strictly limited to creating and managing its own backup files in a specific folder. We do not access any other files in your Google Drive.

3. Permissions

The Application may request the following permissions:

• Internet Access: Required for syncing backups with Google Drive.
• Identity/Accounts: Required to select a Google account for backup purposes.
• Storage: Required to save or load legacy migration files if requested by the user.

4. Data Retention

Local data remains on your device until you delete the Application or clear its data. Backups on Google Drive remain there until you manually delete them or remove the Application's access via your Google Account settings.

5. Security

We value your trust in providing us your information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Children’s Privacy

This Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
