Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 March 2026
BenchCalc ("the App") is operated by Atelier Barnard SL ("we", "us", "our"), a company registered in Spain. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we protect it.
1. What We Collect
We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the App and improve it.
- Email address — when you join our waitlist, sign up for beta testing, or create an account.
- App preferences — your settings (preferred units, temperature scale, quick-access tiles) are stored locally on your device.
- Anonymous usage analytics — we may collect aggregated, non-identifying data about which features are used to help us prioritise development. This data cannot be linked to you personally.
- Subscription data — if you purchase a subscription, payment is handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). We do not see or store your payment card details.
2. What We Don't Collect
- We do not collect your name, phone number, or physical address unless you voluntarily provide it.
- We do not track your location.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising.

- To process and manage your subscription.
- To improve the App based on anonymous usage patterns.
4. Where Your Data is Stored
Email and account data is processed by our email service provider (Kajabi Inc.) and may be stored on servers in the United States. Kajabi complies with applicable data protection regulations. App preferences are stored locally on your device and never leave it.
