PlaceLedger Privacy Policy
PlaceLedger is designed as a local-first rental documentation app. In the current app build, move-in and move-out reports, notes, photos, generated PDFs, and app preferences are stored on the user's device. Purchase validation and crash diagnostics use limited third-party services described below.
Summary
PlaceLedger does not require an account and does not send report content to a PlaceLedger server in the current app build. PlaceLedger is developed by Vellumstead Labs LLC under the public developer brand Vellumstead Labs.
Information Stored On Device
PlaceLedger stores information the user enters or adds to a report, including:
- Property label and flexible address details.
- Report type, such as move-in or move-out.
- Move-in or move-out report date.
- Linked move-in baseline reference when a move-out report is created from a move-in report.
- Optional tenant name.
- Report, room, and checklist item notes.
- Checklist item condition/status.
- Photos captured with the camera or imported from the photo library.
- Signer acknowledgement names, roles, timestamps, and optional drawn signatures.
- Photo metadata needed by the app, such as source, timestamp, dimensions, file name, file type, local file path, and optional GPS stamp if the user turns it on for a camera photo.
- Generated PDF exports and cached PDF files.
- App preferences, including date format and default PDF page size.
- Purchase/unlock state needed to manage report unlocks, lifetime unlock status, and local entitlement state.
Report readiness checks and proof summaries are computed locally from report data. They are not sent to a PlaceLedger server in the current app build.
Camera And Photo Library Access
PlaceLedger asks for camera access so users can take documentation photos for a report. PlaceLedger asks for photo library access so users can import existing photos into a report.
Photos selected or captured in PlaceLedger are copied into app-controlled local storage on the device. PlaceLedger does not upload these photos to a PlaceLedger server in the current app build.
Location
PlaceLedger can add an optional GPS stamp to camera photos when the user turns GPS stamps on in the camera. PlaceLedger requests location permission only for this user-controlled feature. GPS stamps are stored locally with the related photo and may appear in generated PDF exports if the user previews or shares a report.
PlaceLedger does not request location in the background and does not send GPS stamps to a PlaceLedger server in the current app build.
Sharing And Exports
Users can generate and preview PDF reports locally. Users can share generated PDF reports using the device's native share sheet. When a user shares a PDF, the destination app or service chosen by the user may process that file under its own privacy policy.
Purchases
PlaceLedger offers paid report unlocks and a lifetime unlock through Apple App Store and Google Play. Store purchases are processed by the relevant app store.
PlaceLedger uses RevenueCat for purchase validation, entitlement status, and restore support while keeping report content local-only. RevenueCat may process app user identifiers, device or store identifiers, product identifiers, entitlement status, transaction history, and store-account purchase information needed to validate purchases and restore access. Reports, photos, notes, addresses, signatures, and PDFs are not sent to RevenueCat by PlaceLedger.
No Account Requirement
The current app build does not require users to create an account, sign in, or provide an email address.
Crash Diagnostics, No Advertising
PlaceLedger does not include advertising SDKs, targeted advertising, or third-party tracking. PlaceLedger includes Sentry for crash diagnostics so Vellumstead Labs can detect and fix app errors.
Sentry may process crash logs, device and operating-system details, app version, route or screen names, and other diagnostic details needed to troubleshoot crashes. Sentry is configured for crash diagnostics; session replay, performance profiling, and product analytics are not used for the initial launch. Report contents, photos, notes, signatures, PDFs, exact addresses, and exact GPS coordinates should not be sent to Sentry by PlaceLedger.
Data Deletion
In the current app build, report data is stored locally on the device. Users can delete individual reports in the app; PlaceLedger also attempts to remove the deleted report's local photos and cached PDFs from app storage. Users can remove all local app data by deleting the app from their device or clearing app storage in the operating system.
