Hobnail — Privacy Policy

1. In One Sentence

Hobnail keeps 100% of your records on your own device. It collects nothing, transmits nothing, and has zero technical ability to reach the internet.

2. About the Application

Hobnail is a private, offline home maintenance register that tracks specifications, models, dimensions, and replacement cycles for bulbs, filters, batteries, and hardware fittings.

3. What Hobnail Stores

Hobnail stores only what you explicitly enter into it:

• Rooms, fixtures, and fittings you record in your home
• Part specifications: model numbers, dimensions, wattage, filter grades, and fitting types
• Replacement dates, intervals, and purchase notes
• Shopping checklists for hardware and parts that are due for replacement
• Your preferences: theme, reminder horizons, and sort order

All records live exclusively in a private local database inside the application's sandboxed storage on your device, which other applications cannot access.

4. What Leaves Your Phone

Nothing. Hobnail does not declare the INTERNET permission in its Android manifest. An Android app without this permission cannot open network sockets or transmit data anywhere under any circumstances.

• No user accounts: No sign-in, login, phone number or registration required.
• No analytics: No tracking SDKs, telemetry, or behavioral logging.
• No advertising: No ads, no advertiser ID tracking, and no third-party ad networks.
• No crash reporting: No external crash logs sent over the internet.
• No cloud syncing: No developer servers, third-party databases, or remote endpoints.

5. Permissions

Hobnail requests zero runtime permissions and zero dangerous permissions. Backing up or restoring data uses Android's native Storage Access Framework (SAF) document picker, which grants access solely to the single file you manually choose.

6. Backups You Create

When you use Export Backup, Hobnail writes a human-readable JSON file to the folder you specify. Once exported, that file is entirely yours and under your personal control. Automatic cloud backup (android:allowBackup="false") is disabled so your records are never silently copied to third-party cloud accounts.

7. Deleting Your Data

• Erase All Data: Available directly in Settings to permanently wipe all stored records immediately.
• Uninstalling the App: Android immediately deletes the app's sandboxed private database and preferences.

Because zero data is ever collected or sent to any server, there is no remote copy to request deletion of — you already own and control all of it.

8. Children's Privacy

Hobnail is a general household utility, contains no adult content, and collects no personal information from anyone of any age, including children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

If any future update modifies this policy, the updated document will be published at https://leathertycoon.online/hobnail-privacy-policy.html with an updated effective date and noted in the app release notes.
