Privacy Policy for Kept
Last Updated: November 5, 2026
AltTab Technologies LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how Kept: Inventory & Collections (the “Application”) handles information on your Android device.
1. Data Collection and Local Architecture
Kept is built with a strictly Local-First architecture:
- Personal Data: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII). The Application has no accounts.
- Usage Analytics: We do not track how you use the Application. There are no telemetry, tracking cookies, advertising software, crash-reporting, or background reporting services embedded in the Application.
- Network Access: The Application has no servers and never sends your inventory, photos, or settings to us or to anyone else. The Application’s own code makes no network requests. The only component that uses the network is Google Play Billing, for the purchase and license check described in Section 4.
2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
To provide its core functionality, the Application stores the following in its private storage on your device:
- Inventory Data: The collections and items you create, and the details you type in (such as names, descriptions, categories, prices, purchase dates, warranty and expiry dates, notes, barcodes, serial numbers, and locations).
- Photos: Photos you take or choose for your items. Photos picked from your gallery are copied into the Application's private storage.
- Configuration Settings: Your preferences (such as theme, accent color, language, list or grid view, photo quality, and reminder choices).
None of this data is sent to us or to any third party by the Application. Uninstalling the Application deletes it from your device, except for any backup, CSV, or PDF file you saved yourself (see Section 5).
3. Permissions
- Camera: Used to take item photos and to scan barcodes. Camera images are processed on your device (barcode scanning uses the open-source zxing-cpp library, which runs entirely on your device and makes no network requests) and are not uploaded by the Application. The Application works without this permission: you can add photos from your gallery and type barcodes by hand.
- Notifications: Used to remind you about the warranty and expiry dates you set. Reminders are scheduled and shown on your device.
- Biometrics and Device Lock (optional): If you turn on the app lock, the Application asks Android to verify you with your fingerprint, face, or device PIN, pattern, or password. The Application never receives or stores your biometric data or PIN; Android performs the check and only reports whether it succeeded.
4. In-App Purchases and Google Play Services
The Application offers an optional Pro upgrade (a one-time lifetime purchase and a subscription) through Google Play Billing:
- All payment transactions, billing details, and license verification are handled directly and securely by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
- AltTab Technologies LLC never processes, handles, or stores your credit card, payment details, or Google Account login credentials. The Application only learns from Google Play whether you own Pro, so it can unlock the features.
5. Backups and Exports
The Application can create backup files, CSV files, and PDF reports. These are created only when you choose to, and you choose where each file is saved using Android’s file picker. If you pick a cloud location such as Google Drive, that file is handled by that provider under its own terms and privacy policy. We do not receive these files. Importing a backup or CSV file reads only the file you select, on your device. Android’s own system backup features may also back up app data according to your device and Google Account settings; those are controlled by your device and Google, not by us.
6. Third-Party Services
The Application does not integrate with any third-party advertising networks, analytical services, or social media SDKs. It uses libraries that run on your device, including the open-source zxing-cpp library (barcode scanning, which works entirely on your device), CameraX, Google Play Billing, and AndroidX libraries. Only Google Play Billing communicates over the network, and only for purchases. Google may process limited technical information in connection with Google Play and purchases, as described in Google’s own policies. That information does not include your inventory or photos, and we do not receive it.
7. Data Deletion
Because your data lives only on your device, you control it. You can delete items and collections inside the Application, or remove all of its data by clearing the Application’s storage in Android settings or by uninstalling it. Backup, CSV, and PDF files you saved elsewhere must be deleted by you where you saved them.
8. Children
The Application does not collect information from anyone, including children.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect future software enhancements or operational updates. Any changes will be indicated by the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy page.
