Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 1, 2026 | Last updated: March 2026
Cooperin Guide does not collect, sell, or share your personal data. All job data, invoices, client information, and notes are stored locally on your device only. The only data that ever leaves your device are messages you send to the Coop Assistant feature, which are processed by a third-party service.
1. Information We Collect
Data Stored Locally On Your Device
All of the following data is stored exclusively on your device using local storage (AsyncStorage). It is never transmitted to our servers or any third party:
- Jobs, job notes, and saved calculations
- Invoices and invoice line items
- Client names and contact information you enter
- Personal notes you create in the Reference section
- App settings, language preference, and calculator order
- Calculation history
Data Processed Externally
When you use the Coop Assistant feature:
- Text messages you send are transmitted to a third-party processing service to generate responses
- Photos you upload to the assistant are transmitted to the same service for analysis
- These messages and photos are not permanently stored by Cooperin Guide
- Messages are transmitted securely via HTTPS and are not linked to any personal identifier
Data We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect names, email addresses, or account information
- We do not use analytics or tracking SDKs
- We do not serve advertisements
- We do not sell any data to third parties
- We do not access your contacts, location, or other device data beyond what you explicitly share for assistant analysis
2. Camera and Photo Access
Cooperin Guide requests camera and photo library access only for the Coop Assistant feature, so you can photograph motor nameplates, panel schedules, and electrical equipment for analysis. Photos are only transmitted when you explicitly choose to send them in the assistant interface. We do not store photos on our servers.
3. Backup Files
The app includes a backup and restore feature that exports your data to a JSON file on your device or shared via your preferred method (email, cloud storage, etc.). You are solely responsible for the security of backup files you create and share.
4. Tax Rate Lookup
When creating invoices, the app may query a third-party geocoding API (OpenStreetMap Nominatim) to estimate sales tax rates based on a service address you enter. The address you enter may be transmitted to this service. This is an optional feature and no personally identifying information is stored by this lookup.
5. Children's Privacy
Cooperin Guide is a professional tool intended for adults working in the electrical trade. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The current version will always be available at cooperin.guide/privacy. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
