This Privacy Policy explains how WATLING AND WARD BUILDING SOLUTIONS LTD handles information in connection with the Android application Watbuild Domestic Build (uk.co.watbuild.framebuild.domestic.span). It applies to the application itself and to the estimate work you carry out within it.
Watbuild Domestic Build is a local-first domestic build estimation workbench. It computes and displays indicative numeric estimate outputs from the figures you enter, and lets you save, name and compare scenarios on your own device. There is no account and no sign-in, and the application is designed to be used without a network connection for its core estimating work, with secondary contact, settings and legal surfaces available alongside it.
Estimate Data Kept on Your Device
The application is built to work locally on your Android device. Draft estimates, saved scenarios and the related working information you create are held within the application's own storage on the device rather than on company servers. The kinds of content that may be stored locally include:
This local content is not automatically transmitted to the developer as part of the core workflow. It stays on the device unless and until you choose to export, copy or share it yourself.
your current draft estimate
saved estimates, including scenario names, key assumptions, the range and updated date, and local cues
local comparison selections
local display preferences
local notes
any summary or export file you have chosen to save
Local Content and Developer-Side Collection
The core estimating workflow does not require you to create an account or to give personal identity information such as your name, postal address or telephone number. The company does not receive the estimates, scenarios or notes you build inside the application as part of that workflow.
Because you type that material yourself, locally stored content — free-text notes in particular — may contain personal information if you decide to enter it. That information still remains on your device and is not sent to the company automatically.
If you contact the company by email, the company receives your email address and whatever your message contains. That is ordinary correspondence and is separate from the estimate data held locally in the application.
Deleting Local Data
The application includes controls for deleting an individual saved estimate and for clearing all locally stored app data. Local app data can also be removed through your Android device settings, or by uninstalling the application, which removes the application's local storage from the device.
Files you have exported are not affected by these controls. An exported file remains wherever you saved or sent it until you delete it there.
Exporting and Sharing Summaries
Export is optional. Where you choose to export, copy or share a locally generated summary, the action is carried out through Android system actions such as the share sheet or a save-to-file option, and it happens only when you start it. Sharing transfers the copy you selected and nothing else, and the data itself remains on your device unless you decide to export, copy or share it.
Once a file or message has left the application in this way, its handling depends on the destination you picked — a messaging application, a cloud drive, an email client or similar — and that destination operates under its own privacy practices.
Contact Actions and External Services
Contact and external actions may open other Android services, such as a browser, an email client or a maps application, when you select them. These actions are external to the application and begin only at your request.
Such external services are operated by other parties and operate under their own privacy practices. The application does not carry out these actions on its own initiative.
What the App Does Not Include
The application does not require login or account registration, does not provide payment processing or subscription functionality, and does not include monetisation features.
Important Notice About Estimate Outputs
Outputs produced by the application are indicative planning estimates only. They are calculated from the figures and observations you enter and are intended as an informational and practical aid to your own judgement.
They are not quotations, contracts, planning determinations or engineering approvals, and they are not legal, financial, insurance or regulatory advice. They are not a substitute for formal professional, technical, safety or certification processes, and appropriate professional advice should be obtained before any output is relied upon for a real project.
Saved scenarios are held on your device as local content. A scenario reflects the assumptions you recorded at the time, and it does not represent any approval of, or commitment to, the work described.
Local Data Retention and Security
Local estimate data remains on your device until you delete it, clear the application's local data, or uninstall the application. Exported files remain wherever you choose to save or share them. The company does not hold copies of your estimate data on its own servers.
Local app content is kept within the application's own storage on the device. Protecting the device itself — for example through the screen lock you configure — and taking care with any file you export or send remain with you.
Your Rights in the UK and EEA
If you are in the UK or the EEA, you may have rights under applicable data protection legislation, such as rights of access, correction, deletion and restriction, where those rights apply under law. Whether they apply in a particular case depends on whether personal data is being processed and on the circumstances.
Because your estimate content is held locally and is not automatically transmitted to the company, most of it can be managed directly on your device: by editing or deleting saved items, clearing local app data, or uninstalling the application. For correspondence you have sent to the company by email, you can contact the company using the details set out below.
Children's Privacy
The application is intended for users aged 13 and above. It is not directed to children under 13, and the company does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If such information is identified, reasonable steps will be taken to delete it or otherwise address the situation.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the application or in applicable law. Whenever a revision is made, the revision date shown alongside this policy is updated accordingly.
