Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information Bob's Patch Manager collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep things simple — this app is built for collectors, not data harvesting.

Bob's Patch Manager collects only what is necessary to provide the app's core features:
- Collection data — patch names, photos, descriptions, categories, and notes you enter manually
- Account information — your name and email address if you create an account
- Usage data — basic app usage statistics such as features used and crash reports, to help us improve the app
- Device information — device type and operating system version, collected automatically for compatibility purposes
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the app's features
- Sync your collection across your devices
- Respond to your support requests and feedback
- Diagnose technical problems and improve performance
- Send important app updates or policy changes (no marketing spam)
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. Ever.
Data Storage & Security
Your collection data is stored securely. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your information both in transit and at rest. Photos and collection records you add to the app are stored on your device and, if you enable sync, on secure cloud servers.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is permanently removed within 30 days.

These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.
