Welcome to Benzoft’s Privacy Policy for the app “Force Sampler.” This document outlines how we handle your information when you use our app. Force Sampler is designed to be privacy-first: all case data – photos, reports, samples, and your technician profile – stays on your device. We have no user accounts, no cloud storage, no analytics, and no tracking. By installing and using “Force Sampler,” you agree to the terms set forth in this document. Please read it carefully.

Privacy Policy

1. Data Stored on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your device only:

a. Technician profile – your name and company name, used to populate reports.

b. Case data – building information, sample records, addresses, and notes you enter.

c. Photos – building photos, sample close-ups, context photos, and floor plans you capture or import.

d. Generated reports – PDF and DOCX documents created from your case data.

e. App preferences – language setting and activation status.

This data is stored in the App’s private sandbox on your device. It is not transmitted to Benzoft or any third party. When you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is deleted by the operating system.

2. Data We Receive

a. Anonymous Counting Signal: When you email or share a case report for the first time, the App sends a single anonymous signal to our server. This allows us to count how many reports are generated – nothing more. The signal contains a random identifier (UUID) used only to prevent double-counting, a timestamp, and the app version and platform. This identifier is not linked to you, your device, or your case data. The signal does not contain any case data, personal data, photos, names, addresses, or device identifiers.

b. IP Address Handling: Your IP address is visible to our server during the network request, as is standard for any internet communication. We do not store your IP address. For rate-limiting purposes only, a one-way hash of your IP combined with a daily rotating salt is held temporarily and cannot be reversed to recover your IP.

c. Signal Retention: Individual counting signals are retained for 90 days, after which they are aggregated into anonymous daily totals, and the original signal records are permanently deleted.

d. Update Check (Android Only): On Android, the App periodically checks our server for available updates. This request contains only the current app version. No personal data is sent. No data is stored on the server as a result of this check.

e. Email (User-Initiated): When you choose to email a report, the App opens your device’s email client with the report attached. The email is sent through your own email account – Benzoft does not receive a copy unless you choose to send it to us.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

a. No user accounts or login credentials.

b. No device identifiers (IDFA, Android ID, etc.).

c. No location tracking.

d. No analytics, usage tracking, or behavioral profiling.

e. No cookies.

f. No advertising data.

g. No contact list, calendar, or other on-device data beyond what is described above.

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. The network communication is limited to: the anonymous counting signal and the update check (both directed to benzoft.com), and address autocomplete requests to DAWA (Danmarks Adressers Web API), a public Danish government service operated by Dataforsyningen (api.dataforsyningen.dk). When you type an address, your query is sent to DAWA to provide suggestions – no personal data beyond the typed address text is transmitted. For more information, see Dataforsyningen’s website.

5. Your Rights

Because all personal data stays on your device, you are in full control. You can view all your data within the App at any time, delete individual cases or all data from within the App, or uninstall the App to permanently remove all stored data. Since we do not store personal data on our servers, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, or delete on your behalf. The anonymous counting signals cannot be linked back to you.

6. Data Security

Data stored on your device is protected by your device’s own security measures (passcode, biometric lock, encryption).

7. Changes to Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this privacy policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website with an updated date. Please review this privacy policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
