Cut Planner app privacy policy

Effective October 16, 2026 · Hands Built Software

This policy covers Cut Planner: Cut Optimizer for iPhone and iPad. Contact support@handsbuiltsoftware.com with questions.

Data on your device

The app stores job names, materials, dimensions, quantities, prices, cutting plans, saved jobs, stock, offcuts, presets, and settings in its local app storage. Calculations run on your device. No app account is required.

No developer data collection or tracking

The app does not automatically send your job data to Hands Built Software or a developer-operated server. It contains no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, or cross-app tracking. The developer does not collect personal data through the app's normal planning and saving features.

Exports, imports, and sharing

When you choose to export or share a PDF, CSV, or backup, the app passes that file to the destination you select through Apple's system controls. Files may contain job information you entered. The receiving app, service, printer, or recipient handles that information under its own practices. Importing a backup reads the file you choose into the app.

Storage, backups, and deletion

Saved data stays in the app until you delete it through available controls or remove the app and its data. A full restart clears the working draft; it does not remove explicitly saved jobs or settings. The app may keep a previous valid local state file to recover from storage errors.

Apple device or iCloud backups may include app data according to your settings. Exported files, shared copies, and device backups are not erased by deleting data in the app. Manage those copies with their respective storage providers. The app does not provide automatic cloud job synchronization.

Apple services

Apple handles App Store purchases and may process purchase records, diagnostics, or device backup information under Apple's privacy policy and your device settings. The developer does not receive your payment card details from the app.

Support requests

If you email support, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. Support email is handled through Google Workspace. We use that information to respond and troubleshoot. Contact support@handsbuiltsoftware.com to request deletion of support correspondence, subject to any necessary record retention. Do not send sensitive information that is unnecessary for your request.

The separate website

The free web planner is separate from the paid app. The website stores planner data in your browser and includes Google AdSense advertising. Website hosting providers may process connection information and request logs. These website features do not add ads or tracking to the iPhone/iPad app. See the website privacy information for details.

Policy updates

We will update this page if the app's privacy practices change, and update App Store privacy disclosures when applicable.
