PrairieStone AppWorks (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates SquareDeal (the “App”). This policy explains what information the App handles and how, for anyone who uses it (“you”).
1. The short version
SquareDeal doesn't have a server. There's no account to create and nothing you enter is sent to us. Everything you put into the App — your own details, the other party's details, photos, signatures — stays on your device, unless and until you choose to share it yourself.
2. Information the App stores, and where
The App stores the following locally on your device only:
- Your saved profile (if you choose to save one): your name, phone number, email, and address, used to fill in the Seller or Buyer fields automatically.
- Your saved defaults: your usual payment method and province/state, used to pre-fill new transactions.
- Your transaction history: every bill of sale or receipt you create, including the other party's name and contact information as you enter it, item details, price, and the date of sale.
- Signatures: images of the signatures drawn on-screen by you and, where applicable, the buyer.
- Condition photos: any photos you choose to attach to a transaction, copied into the App's own storage on your device.
None of the above is transmitted to PrairieStone AppWorks, to any server we operate, or to any third party by the App itself. We don't have access to it, can't see it, and can't retrieve it for you if it's lost — see Section 8.
3. Information you choose to share
When you generate a finished document (or a ZIP backup of your history) and tap “share,” your device's own share menu opens and you choose where it goes — email, text message, cloud storage, a printer, or anywhere else your device offers. That sharing is between you and whatever destination you pick; once it leaves the App through your own action, it's no longer something PrairieStone AppWorks has any visibility into or control over.
4. Payments
Purchases and subscriptions within the App are handled entirely by Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your payment card details — that information is held by Google, subject to Google's own privacy practices. We only receive confirmation from Google Play of what you've purchased, so the App knows which paid features to unlock.
5. Location, analytics, and tracking
SquareDeal does not access, collect, or track your device's location. The App does not currently include analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioral tracking of any kind. If that changes in a future version, this policy will be updated to reflect it.
6. Device backups
The App may rely on Android's built-in “Auto Backup for Apps” feature, which can back up the App's local data to your own personal Google Drive and restore it automatically if you reinstall the App or set up a new device signed into the same Google account. This is a feature of the Android operating system, governed by Google's own policies — it is not a service PrairieStone AppWorks operates or has access to.
7. Security
Keeping your information on your own device rather than a server we operate already removes a lot of the usual risk, but no storage is completely risk-free. We'd recommend keeping your device protected with a PIN, password, fingerprint, or other screen lock, and using care about who you share a generated document with.
8. Data retention and deletion
Because everything is stored on your device, you control it directly. Uninstalling the App removes its local data from your device (subject to whatever your device's own Auto Backup settings preserve, per Section 6). There is no separate copy on our end to request deletion of, because none exists.
If you enter another person's information into the App (as a Buyer or Seller), you are responsible for handling that information appropriately, including deleting a transaction if you no longer have a legitimate reason to keep it.
9. Children's privacy
SquareDeal is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
10. International users
PrairieStone AppWorks is based in Saskatchewan, Canada. The App can be downloaded and used elsewhere; because your transaction information stays on your own device rather than being centralized by us, we don't transfer or store it in another country through the App's normal operation. Any third-party service you choose to share through — email, messaging, cloud storage, and so on — handles information under its own policies, which may involve other countries.
11. Your rights
If you're in Canada, this policy is intended to comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Because the App doesn't send us your data in the first place, most data-access requests have a simple answer: the information lives on your device, and you already have full access to it there. If you have questions about how the App handles information, contact us using the details in Section 14.
12. If you contact us for support
If you reach out to support@prairiestoneappworks.com, we'll have whatever you choose to send us — your email address, your message, and anything you attach. Please don't send us a transaction document, a signature, or other sensitive personal information unless it's actually necessary to help with your issue.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
