Privacy Policy for Solar Installer Pro

Effective Date: September 27, 2025 1. Introduction Welcome to Solar Installer Pro ("we," "our," or "us"). This app is designed to provide solar engineers and technicians with a toolkit for professional solar panel installations. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. This policy applies to our mobile application, Solar Installer Pro (the "App"). By using our App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. 2. Information We Collect and How We Use It Our App is designed to be a utility tool that functions primarily on your device. We collect very limited information, which is essential for the App's features to work. a) Location Data (Latitude) - What we collect: We request access to your device's precise location (GPS and network-based). We only use this to determine your current latitude. - Why we collect it: Your latitude is essential for the "Panel Angle Calculator" feature to provide accurate and optimal solar panel tilt angles for your specific geographical location. - How we use it: The location data is used in real-time for the angle calculation. This information is never stored, saved, or transmitted off your device by us. The App does not track your location in the background. b) Device Sensor Data - What we use: Our App uses your device's internal sensors, specifically the Accelerometer and Magnetometer. - Why we use it: This data is required for the "Direction Finder" (Compass) and "Device Tilt" features to function correctly. - How we use it: Sensor data is processed locally and in real-time on your device to determine its orientation and tilt. This data is not collected, stored, or transmitted off your device. c) User-Provided Data (Calculators) - What you provide: The "System Sizing Calculator" and "Load Calculator" features allow you to enter data such as inverter specifications, panel wattage, appliance names, quantities, etc. - How we use it: This information is used only to perform the calculations you request within the App. This data remains on your device and is not saved, stored, or transmitted by us. When you create a PDF report from the Load Calculator, this data is written into a local file on your device at your explicit instruction. d) Advertising Data (Third-Party) - What is collected: Our App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob is a third-party service that may collect and use non-personal information to provide personalized ads. This may include your device's Advertising ID, IP address, and other technical information. - Why it's collected: Ads help support the development and maintenance of this app, allowing us to offer it for free. - How to manage it: We do not control the data collected by Google AdMob. For more information on how Google collects and uses your data, please review Google's Privacy & Terms site. You can often manage your ad preferences in your device's settings. 3. Permissions Required by the App Our App requests the following permissions to provide its core functionality: - ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: To get your precise latitude for the Panel Angle Calculator. - WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (for Android 9 and below): To save the generated PDF reports from the Load Calculator to your device's "Downloads" folder. - FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC: This permission is required by the development tool (AIDE) used to build this app for its internal logging service. It is not used to collect any personal data from you. 4. Data Sharing We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our App (like Google AdMob), so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. 5. Data Security We are committed to protecting your data. All calculations and data processing occur locally on your device. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. 6. Children's Privacy Our App is not intended for use by 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. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. 8.
