WoodCut Pro is a woodworking cut-list and sheet-optimization app for Android. This page explains, plainly, what data the app does and does not collect. The short version: your projects, materials, and settings stay on your device — we don't run a server, we don't have accounts, and we don't collect analytics. The free version of the app shows banner and occasional full-screen ads served by Google AdMob, as described in the Advertising section below; the paid Pro upgrade removes them entirely.
| Account or sign-in required | No |
|---|---|
| Data sent to our servers | None — we have no servers |
| Analytics / crash reporting | None |
| Advertising | Google AdMob banner and interstitial ads (free version only — see "Advertising" below) |
| Data sold to third parties | Never |
| Location, camera, contacts, microphone access | Not used |
| Payment processing | Handled entirely by Google Play Billing |
WoodCut Pro stores the following information locally in the app's own private storage on your device, using a local database and local preferences file. None of it is transmitted to us, because the app has no backend server to send it to.
You can view, edit, and delete any of this data at any time from within the app, and all of it is permanently deleted when you uninstall the app.
WoodCut Pro does not include any analytics or crash-reporting SDKs, and we — the developer — never see, collect, or sell your personal data. The one exception is the advertising SDK described in the next section, used only in the free version of the app. Specifically, the app does not collect or transmit:
The free version of WoodCut Pro shows banner ads on several screens, and an occasional full-screen (interstitial) ad after finishing a sheet or lumber cutting plan, both served by Google AdMob. Interstitial ads are shown infrequently (roughly once every few completed plans), and never while you're actively editing a cut list or viewing a cutting diagram. If you purchase the one-time Pro upgrade, all ads — banner and interstitial — are removed from every screen.
To select and serve ads, Google's AdMob SDK can collect and process information such as your advertising ID, device and app information (device model, OS version, app version, general region derived from IP address), and ad interaction data (impressions, clicks). This is handled directly by Google's SDK running inside the app — WoodCut Pro itself does not separately collect or store this information, and none of it reaches our own servers, because we don't operate any.
For users in the European Economic Area, the UK, and other regions with similar consent requirements, WoodCut Pro uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to show a consent form the first time you open the app. Ads are only personalized, and the advertising ID is only used for ad personalization, according to the choices you make in that form. You can change your consent choices at any time from Settings. Outside of regions where consent is legally required, ads may be shown without this prompt, consistent with Google's own policies.
AdMob's data collection and use is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and, for advertising specifically, Google's AdMob data disclosure.
WoodCut Pro offers an optional, one-time "Pro" upgrade purchased through Google Play Billing. When you make this purchase:
Google's handling of your payment data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Play Terms of Service.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| Internet access / network state | Required by the Google Play Billing library to communicate with Google Play's servers when processing the Pro purchase. The app itself makes no other network requests. |
| Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING) | Required by Android to allow the app to offer in-app purchases through Google Play. |
| Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) | Used by the Google AdMob SDK, in the free version only, to serve and measure ads as described in "Advertising" above. Not used by Pro-upgraded installs' ad logic, since no ads are shown. |
WoodCut Pro does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts, SMS, or storage permissions.
WoodCut Pro supports Android's standard device backup system. If you have Android's built-in backup enabled on your device (a setting controlled by you and Google, not by this app), your project data and preferences may be included in that backup so they can be restored if you reinstall the app or switch devices. This backup is managed entirely by the Android operating system under Google's own privacy practices — WoodCut Pro does not operate or have access to any backup storage itself.
To delete your data:
WoodCut Pro integrates two third-party services, both from Google:
WoodCut Pro does not integrate any analytics provider, crash-reporting SDK, or social media SDK.
WoodCut Pro is a professional/hobbyist woodworking tool, not directed at children, and its Play Store listing is not targeted at a child audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. We have not configured any age-specific ad settings, so if you are a parent concerned about a child using this app, we recommend not installing the free, ad-supported version for them.
If this policy changes — for example if a future version of the app adds a new feature that affects data handling — we will update this page and revise the effective date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
