1. OVERVIEW
This Privacy Policy explains how engineer bolt and nut, installed on devices as bolt and nut and also described in the app as Fastener Spec, handles data.
The app is a technical reference app for fastener dimensions, including nuts and bolts. Fastener lookup data is bundled with the app and lookup behavior runs locally on your device.
Key points:
- Fastener dimension lookup runs locally on your device.
- App settings are saved locally with Android SharedPreferences.
- The app does not operate user accounts, an analytics server, or a remote lookup history database.
- The app uses Google Mobile Ads, which may collect and share data for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.
2. DATA HANDLED BY THE APP
The app itself does not collect personal information such as:
- Name, email address, phone number, or account profile.
- Contact lists, calendar data, camera data, or microphone data.
- Precise GPS location.
- Lookup history transmitted to our server.
Local data stored by the app:
- Theme mode.
- Detail level, such as Min, Basic, or Max.
- Large text setting.
- Heavy Hex setting.
- Native ad display count and last shown time.
These settings are saved on your device with SharedPreferences and are removed according to Android app data behavior, such as when you clear app data or uninstall the app.
3. FASTENER DATA AND IMAGE SAVING
Fastener dimension data:
- ASME B18.2.2-related fastener data files are bundled with the app.
- Metric and unified nut and bolt lookups are processed on device.
- Selected size, standard, and detail level are not sent to our server.
Saved images:
- When you use Save, the app writes the generated spec image to your device.
- Saved image file names may include a timestamp to avoid duplicate names.
- On Android 10 and later, image saving uses MediaStore without storage permission.
- On Android 9 and earlier, Android may require WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
When you use Copy, the selected spec text is placed on your device clipboard.
4. GOOGLE MOBILE ADS
This app uses Google Mobile Ads to display advertisements. According to Google's Mobile Ads SDK disclosure, the SDK may automatically collect and share data for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.
Google Mobile Ads may process data such as:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location.
- User product interactions, such as ad impressions, taps, and video views.
- Diagnostic information, such as SDK performance and app launch information.
- Device and account identifiers, including Android Advertising ID and App Set ID where available.
This data is handled by Google and its advertising partners according to their own policies. Data collected by Google Mobile Ads is encrypted in transit according to Google's SDK disclosure.
5. APP PERMISSIONS
This application declares the following permissions:
- INTERNET: Used to load advertisements.
- AD_ID: Used by Google Mobile Ads for advertising, measurement, and fraud prevention when available on the device.
- VIBRATE: Used for lightweight selection feedback inside the app.
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Used only on Android 9 and earlier when saving images.
The app does not request camera, microphone, precise location, contacts, calendar, phone, or account permissions.
6. USER CONTROL
Because the app does not operate user accounts or a remote user database, there is no app account profile to access, export, or delete.
You can control local app data by:
- Changing settings inside the app.
- Clearing app data in Android system settings.
- Uninstalling the app.
You can control advertising identifiers through Android settings. Depending on your Android version, you may be able to reset or delete your Advertising ID, or turn off ad personalization.
7. SECURITY
The app is designed to keep app lookup behavior local:
- Fastener data files are read from the app package.
- App preferences are stored in Android SharedPreferences.
- Saved images are written to device storage only when you use Save.
- Advertising SDK network traffic is handled by Google Mobile Ads and is encrypted in transit according to Google's SDK disclosure.
8. DATA SAFETY SUMMARY
This summary is intended to help users understand the same categories commonly used in Google Play Data Safety disclosures.

- App itself: Stores settings locally on the device only.
- Google Mobile Ads SDK: May collect IP address, user product interactions, diagnostics, and device/account identifiers.
