Privacy policy · The Meter · Google Play
The Meter collects nothing and sends nothing. The Android build ships without the internet permission at all — not unused, absent from the manifest — so it is not technically capable of transmitting anything. Everything you save stays in the app's private storage on your own phone.

Nothing. The Meter has no user accounts and no sign-in, no analytics or telemetry, no crash or performance reporting, no advertising, no attribution or tracking identifiers, and no third-party SDKs of any kind.
We do not receive your name, your email address, your location, your device identifiers, or any information about how, when or whether you use the app.
This is enforced by the build rather than promised in prose. The Android package is compiled with the INTERNET permission removed from the merged manifest, and every release is checked against the built manifest before it is submitted. An app without that permission cannot open a network connection: there is no server to switch off, because there was never one to talk to.
The only permission the app holds is the one listed below.
Saved jobs and calculations are written to a SQLite database inside the app's own private storage. Your settings — units, theme, haptics, the limits you work to — are held in a small key-value store in the same place. Android keeps that storage sandboxed from other apps on the phone.
You can delete an individual saved record inside the app, and uninstalling The Meter removes the database and the settings with it. Neither is copied to us at any point, because the app makes no network requests.
One thing worth knowing: if you have Android's own backup to your Google account switched on, the system may include this app's data in that backup. That copy lives in your Google account, under Google's terms, and we have no access to it. You can turn it off in your phone's system settings.
VIBRATE, and nothing else. It drives the short haptic tap when a result crosses a limit you have set, and you can switch it off in Settings. It grants no access to any data.
The Meter is a one-time purchase with no subscriptions and no in-app purchases. Google Play takes the payment; we never see your card details, your billing address or your name. What reaches us from Google is aggregate sales and payout reporting, which does not identify individual buyers.
Google's own handling of the transaction is governed by Google's privacy policy, not by this one.
The Meter is a professional tool and is not directed at children. It collects no data from anyone, of any age.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, export, restrict and erase personal data a company holds about you. We hold none from this app, so there is nothing for us to hand over or delete — the data the app produces is on your phone and under your control.
If you believe otherwise, write to us and we will look into it. You also have the right to complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
If you contact support, we hold your message and your email address for as long as it takes to answer you and to keep a record of the answer. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in supporting the software we sell. We do not add you to a mailing list, and we do not pass the message to anyone else.
If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it, and anything material is called out in the app's release notes. We do not change it retroactively.
