Summary: MakerLens has no server. It makes no network connections at all. Nothing you put into it is ever transmitted to Rocket City Defense Solutions or to anyone else.
Nothing. MakerLens contains no networking code, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting, no tracking, and no third-party code libraries. On macOS the app is sandboxed without the network client entitlement, so an outbound connection would be denied by the operating system even if one were attempted.
Under Apple's definition, “collect” means transmitting data off the device. Every category in our App Store privacy label is therefore Data Not Collected.
Everything you put into MakerLens is processed on your own Mac, iPad, or iPhone: your listing titles and descriptions, the CSV files you export from Etsy and import here, the text MakerLens reads out of your product images, and your sales figures.
Your work is saved to a file inside your device's Application Support folder.
When you import an Etsy sales CSV, MakerLens keeps only four things from each row: the listing ID, the sale date, the quantity, and the order amount. It discards everything else in that file — including any buyer name, email address, or shipping address. The original CSV text is held in memory while you work and is never written to disk.
We want to be precise rather than reassuring. Your workspace file, which contains your revenue figures, is written as plain, unencrypted JSON. MakerLens does not apply its own encryption to it and does not exclude it from backups.
It is protected by your device's own security: Data Protection on iPhone and iPad, and FileVault on a Mac if you have FileVault turned on. Because it lives in a standard app folder, a copy of your sales figures is included in your normal iCloud or computer backups.
If your revenue figures are sensitive to you, turn on FileVault on your Mac and use an encrypted backup.
MakerLens reads text out of your product images using Apple's on-device Vision framework. The image and the recognized text never leave your device.
MakerLens never asks for your camera, photos, location, or contacts. It only opens the specific files you choose or drag into it.
MakerLens has no in-app purchases and no subscriptions.
MakerLens has no accounts and no sign-in. There is nothing for you to create and nothing for us to delete, because we never receive your data in the first place. Deleting the app removes its data from your device.
Because this data lives in the app's normal storage, it is included in your device's iCloud or computer backups if you have backups enabled — exactly like any other app's data. Those backups are governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours.
If you copy text to the clipboard or export a file, that content goes wherever you send it. What happens to it there is not something MakerLens can govern.
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights to access, correct, export, and erase personal data that a company holds about you. We hold none. We operate no servers that receive data from this app, so there is no record of you for us to produce, correct, or erase. If you believe otherwise, write to us and we will investigate.
We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not process it for targeted advertising.
If we change what MakerLens does with your data, we will update this page and change the date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
