Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 3, 2026 | Last Updated: August 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Beijing iDOTOOLS Technology Co.,Ltd ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores
and protects your information when you use the AR Ruler: Tape Measure mobile application ("the App"). This
policy is intended to comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, FTC privacy
guidelines and the Apple App Store Review Guidelines.
Important Notice: AR Ruler: Tape Measure is designed as a local-first measurement utility.
Camera preview, AR scene detection, distance measurement, area measurement, object measurement and similar core
functions are generally processed on your device through iOS and ARKit. We do not use your camera feed to
identify you and we do not sell your personal information.
Please read this policy carefully before using the App. By continuing to use the App, you confirm that you have
read and understood this policy.
1. Information We Collect and Use
We process information only in line with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and necessity.
1.1 Core Measurement Data (On-Device First)
- AR measurement sessions: Measurement points, distances, angles, areas, volumes, object
dimensions, floor plans, annotations and similar measurement results are generated and used primarily on
your device.
- Camera and AR scene data: The App may use your device camera, motion sensors, depth
sensors, LiDAR sensor, ARKit and related iOS frameworks to detect surfaces, estimate scale and place virtual
measuring tools. This data is processed locally for measurement features unless you choose to save, export
or share results.
- Saved projects and preferences: Measurement history, saved projects, screenshots,
preferred units, calibration settings, language settings and other preferences may be stored locally to
provide a consistent user experience.
1.2 System Permissions
We may request the following permissions to deliver features. You may withdraw or change permissions at any time
in your device settings:
- Camera: required for AR measurement, surface detection, object measurement, ruler overlay
and related visual measurement features.
- Motion and device sensors: used through iOS frameworks to support AR tracking, orientation,
stabilization and measurement accuracy.
- Photos: optional, for saving measurement screenshots, importing selected images for
measurement, or exporting selected results to your photo library.
- Network: for subscription validation, App Store purchase processing, crash diagnostics,
analytics, customer support and security-related operations.
- Notifications: optional, for service notices, subscription status messages or App-related
reminders.

transaction identifiers solely to unlock paid features, prevent fraud, provide support and comply with platform
requirements.
1.4 Non-Identifiable Technical Data
To improve stability, performance and user experience, we may collect de-identified or aggregated technical data
such as device model, iOS version, app version, crash logs, diagnostic events, general region, language setting,
feature usage statistics, sensor availability and network status. We do not use this data to identify you as an
individual.
