Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

Field Forged Technologies provides Field Forged: Baseline, Field Forged: Camera, and this website. This policy explains how information is handled when you use our apps, visit our site, or contact us. Features vary by app, version, and purchase status.

For privacy questions or requests, email support@fieldforgedtech.com.

Field records and device permissions

Our apps store information you choose to enter or capture to support field documentation and exports.

In Baseline, this may include project details, observations, notes, photos, timestamps, tool inputs and results, and profile or company information used in reports.

In Camera, this may include photos, descriptions, project or job names, company logos, timestamps, and location information. Depending on your settings and available device readings, photos may display coordinates, GPS accuracy, heading, and elevation.

With your permission, the apps use the camera to capture photos and location services to provide field coordinates and photo information. Photo-library access supports saving images; image-selection features let you choose images such as company logos. Relevant features also use device motion and orientation. Baseline’s noise tool measures microphone levels without saving a playable audio recording.

You can change permissions in your device settings. Related features may then be unavailable. Turning off location access does not remove location information already saved in photos or records.

Local storage and optional iCloud sync

Field records are stored on your device. Field Forged does not operate a central server that receives your field records as part of the normal save workflow.

Baseline supports syncing certain project records through Apple’s private iCloud storage when available. Some tool drafts and saved files remain local.

Camera provides optional private iCloud sync as a Pro feature. When available and enabled, it transfers photos, saved descriptions, location information, timestamps, company logos, and project-name settings to the app’s private CloudKit storage associated with your iCloud account. This allows supported records to sync between your devices using that account. Sync may retain earlier record revisions.

Turning off Camera’s sync, or losing Pro access, stops further app syncing; it does not automatically erase previously uploaded records. Locally saved photos remain on the device.

Apple processes iCloud data under its own policies. Device backups and iCloud Photos are separate Apple services that may store app data or photos according to your Apple settings, even when Camera’s own sync is disabled. See Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Exports and sharing

You choose whether to export or share reports, photos, and other files. Exports may include descriptions, names, company logos, photos, timestamps, and location information.

Readouts embedded visibly in an image remain part of that image even if file metadata is removed. Review both the image and its accompanying information before sharing.

Copies saved to Apple Photos, exported to Files, or sent to other people or services are separate copies. They are not automatically removed when the original app record is removed, and recipients control the copies they receive.

Advertising and privacy choices

Our apps integrate Google Mobile Ads. Development builds use test ads; release builds may use live ads. Ad-supported versions may display Google ads; an applicable Pro subscription removes the app’s advertising banner.

When Google’s advertising services run, they may process IP addresses, approximate location inferred from IP, device identifiers, ad interactions, usage information, diagnostics, and performance information. This information supports ad delivery and measurement, fraud prevention, and operation of those services.

Our current app configurations request non-personalized ads. Non-personalized ads do not mean that no information is processed. Field Forged does not supply project names, descriptions, notes, photos, company logos, precise field coordinates, or profile details as ad-targeting parameters.

Google’s User Messaging Platform manages applicable advertising consent and privacy choices. The apps check whether ads may be requested before requesting them. Consent messages and the availability of privacy choices depend on the app version and region. When available, use “Advertising Privacy Choices” in Camera’s Options or “Privacy Choices” alongside Baseline’s home-screen advertising controls to review your choices.

See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner services.

Purchases and diagnostics

When purchases are available, Apple processes payments. The apps use purchase and subscription entitlement information to unlock features and restore eligible purchases. Field Forged does not receive your payment-card details.

Camera’s Photo Branding upgrade and Camera Pro subscription are separate purchases. Photo Branding unlocks presentation features such as descriptions, company logos, project names, and branded exports. Camera Pro removes ads and provides access to optional private iCloud sync.

Apple’s App Store, subscription, and privacy policies apply. You can manage subscriptions through your Apple account settings.

Apple may provide crash diagnostics and TestFlight feedback according to your settings and the beta-testing services you use. We use information you submit and available diagnostics to investigate problems and improve our apps.

Website and support

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. Hosting, security, and website analytics may process browser and device information, IP addresses, page visits, and cookies or similar technologies. The contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection.

See Squarespace’s Privacy Policy and Google’s policy linked above. Browser settings and any available cookie controls let you manage cookies.

If you email us or submit a form, we receive the contact details, inquiry category, message, and any information you voluntarily provide. Squarespace and our email providers process this information to deliver and store the inquiry. We use it to respond, troubleshoot, and follow up.

Please avoid sending passwords, payment details, or confidential jobsite material that is not needed for your request.

Retention and deletion

We delete resolved support emails and website form submissions from our active email and Squarespace records within 90 days after the inquiry is resolved, unless longer retention is necessary to meet legal obligations or resolve a dispute. Service-provider backups and security logs may follow their own retention schedules.

This 90-day rule does not apply to your app records, photos, or iCloud data. These remain in the relevant storage until removed. Synced revisions may remain even after a newer version of a record is saved.

Deletion options vary by app and version. Use the app’s deletion controls where available. Camera’s current beta does not provide individual gallery-photo deletion or a cloud-data deletion control. Contact support for guidance if the removal option you need is unavailable.

Apple’s storage settings may provide options for managing app data and iCloud storage. Removing local app data, disabling sync, or canceling Pro does not automatically remove cloud copies. Data remaining in iCloud may return if syncing is enabled again.

Separately saved photos, exports, recipient copies, and backups must be managed separately. Removing the app alone may not remove those copies.

Advertising, hosting, and other service providers retain information under their respective policies.

Your choices and requests

You can manage device permissions, optional sync, subscriptions, and available storage or advertising controls.

Contact support@fieldforgedtech.com to request access, correction, or deletion of information you have sent us, or to raise a privacy concern. Please identify the app and the information involved without sending unnecessary sensitive material.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights, including objection, restriction, portability, withdrawal of consent, or a complaint to a privacy authority. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Security and changes

We use the safeguards provided by our devices and service providers and limit the information needed for support. No system can guarantee absolute security. Providers may process information outside your country under their applicable policies.

We may update this policy as our apps or services change. The date above identifies the latest revision.
