estiM8rPrivacy
These terms sit with Apple's Standard EULA. This page is about privacy.
Definitions
Trusted contact — A person you have approved to exchange jobs and trust messages with in estiM8r. Nothing arrives from someone until you approve them. You can remove them at any time.
Identity card — The introduction your phone sends when you connect with someone. It includes the name you chose, and the keys needed so they can recognise and verify you. That name is personal information: you define it; it is how people identify you in estiM8r. No name, contacts or other personal data is pulled from your iPhone — you type the name yourself.
Job — A saved scan: measurements, mesh, pins, and any photos or voice notes you attached.
Sealed file (.estim8r) — A job encrypted so only the intended Trusted
contact can open it. AiOC cannot read the contents.
Export — Anything you save or share outside the sealed .estim8r format
(for example PDF, CSV, text, OBJ, STL, USDZ, PLY). Once exported, integrity and
privacy are no longer guaranteed by estiM8r, and those files cannot be brought
back in for collaboration.
Summary
- Your jobs stay on your iPhone unless you send or export them.
- There are no accounts with AiOC, no advertising in the app, and no analytics SDK in the app.
- When you use Trusted Contacts, some information is needed so delivery works. Job contents in a sealed file are encrypted. Your chosen name on an identity card or trust request is readable so the other person knows who it is from.
- Delete the app and your copy on that phone is gone. A copy already on someone else's phone is theirs.
What the app uses on your device
| Access | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera and LiDAR | Measuring |
| Location (while using the app) | Optional — tags where a job was captured |
| Microphone / Speech | Optional — voice notes |
| Photos | Optional — when you save or import an image |
| Notifications | Optional — arrivals from Trusted contacts |
You can turn these off in iOS Settings. Related features stop; the rest of the app continues.
What stays on your device
Jobs, mesh, pins, notes, photos taken in the app, GPS tags and your Trusted contact list are stored in the app. They are not synced to iCloud as a backup of your job library.
Your private keys stay in the iOS Keychain on that device.
How things travel
1. In-app delivery (Trusted contacts)
When you send a job, identity card or trust request in the app, your phone
places it in a delivery mailbox operated for estiM8r (via Apple CloudKit). The
recipient's app collects it.
- Sealed jobs: contents are encrypted on your device. AiOC cannot read them.
- Identity cards and trust requests: include the name you chose, in a form the recipient can read before they accept — so they know who is asking. That is intentional. It is personal information.
- Routing: scrambled addresses and an item type so the right phone can find the item. Not your Apple ID, email or phone number.
If an item is never collected, your phone normally deletes it after 30 days. Invite codes expire after 14 days.
2. You send a link or code yourself (Messages, Mail, etc.)
That uses your own apps. AiOC does not receive that message and does not retain it.
3. Exports you choose
Unencrypted exports may include measurements, notes, photos and mesh depending
on format. Treat them as site documents. They are not sealed and cannot be
re-imported for collaboration.
4. Purchases
Apple processes payments. AiOC does not receive your card details.
5. Reports you send us
If you send a bug or support report, it can include diagnostics (device model,
app version, logs, crash information). We use that only to fix problems.
What AiOC does not do
We do not sell your information. We do not use the app for advertising or cross-app tracking. We do not read sealed job contents.
Deleting your data
- Delete a job in the app to remove that job from your phone.
- Delete the app to remove the app's data from that phone.
- Removing a Trusted contact stops further exchange with them; it does not erase a job they already received.
- Items already in the delivery mailbox follow the retention above.
