BATT 4DAT Privacy Policy

Last updated May 22, 2026. This policy explains what data the BATT 4DAT iPhone and iPad app handles, how it is used, and how users can manage it.

Summary

BATT 4DAT is a battery forecasting, inventory, and education utility. The app is designed so core inventory records stay on the user's device. It does not sell personal information. Third-party services may process data when the app displays ads, completes Apple purchases, uses Sign in with Apple, or opens affiliate shopping links.

Data Stored By The App

  • Device inventory entries: device name, battery type, cell count, device count, notes, group, user ID, and creation date.
  • Spare-battery inventory entries: label, battery type, quantity, manufacture date, entry date, estimated or printed expiration date, notes, user ID, and photo filename.
  • Optional photos: device photos, battery-cavity photos, and battery-inventory photos imported from Photos or captured with the camera.
  • Local group messages and system messages used to summarize saved inventory actions.
  • Onboarding and app preference state, including whether onboarding is complete and whether ads have been removed.
  • Optional Apple account profile: Apple user identifier, display name, email address if Apple provides it, link date, and maximum linked-device count.

How Data Is Used

  • To forecast household, property, garage, tool, and vehicle battery needs.
  • To calculate battery totals, spare inventory, expiration planning, and purchase recommendations.
  • To show user-saved photos next to inventory records.
  • To authenticate optional Sign in with Apple account setup.
  • To check Remove Ads subscription entitlement through StoreKit.
  • To display advertising in the free app experience.

Camera And Photos

Camera and photo-library access are optional. BATT 4DAT uses selected photos only when a user adds them to device or battery inventory records. Captured and imported images are copied into private app storage. The app does not use photos for advertising, face recognition, biometric analysis, or public sharing.

Advertising

The free app experience uses Google AdMob banner ads. Google Mobile Ads SDK may process data such as IP address, device identifiers, advertising data, crash logs, performance data, and app interaction data for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, and SDK performance. Users may remove ads with the yearly Remove Ads subscription where available.

Purchases

Remove Ads is handled through Apple's in-app purchase system. Apple processes payment information. BATT 4DAT reads subscription entitlement status so the app can hide ads for active subscribers.

Affiliate Links

BATT 4DAT may show battery shopping links, including Amazon affiliate links. Opening an external shopping link leaves the app and is governed by the external site's privacy practices. Affiliate link clicks may result in a commission to the developer.

Children And Age

BATT 4DAT is an educational utility for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. It is not submitted for the App Store Kids category. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children. A child should use the app only with parent or guardian involvement, especially for purchases, ads, external links, and battery safety decisions.

Data Sharing

The developer does not sell user inventory, photos, notes, messages, or account profile details. Data may be processed by Apple for Sign in with Apple and in-app purchases, by Google for AdMob advertising, and by external sites when a user opens an affiliate link.

Retention And Deletion

Local inventory records, photos, messages, preferences, and optional account profile details remain on the device until the user edits them, deletes app data, or uninstalls the app. Users can remove locally stored app data by deleting BATT 4DAT from the device. For questions or deletion requests involving developer-controlled data, contact the developer.

App Store Privacy Label Notes

Based on the current app implementation, expected App Store data categories may include Contact Info when Sign in with Apple provides name or email, User ID, User Content, Photos or Videos, Purchase History, Product Interaction, Advertising Data, Device ID, Diagnostics, and coarse location inferred by ad services from IP address. Final App Store Connect answers should be checked against the exact SDK versions and enabled features at submission time.

Contact

Privacy questions can be sent through the developer contact listed on the App Store product page or GitHub repository for BATT 4DAT.
