YOURS, BY DESIGN
Privacy Policy
Your home is personal. Here’s what stays on your iPhone or iPad, what happens when you visit this website, and how to reach us.
Your records stay on your device.
BreakerMap stores your properties, panels, rooms, circuits, device names, notes, photos, and test records locally on your iPhone or iPad. The app has no account system, advertising, analytics service, or cloud database. Jaret Priddy (“we” or “us”) does not receive your saved map or photos through the app. Core mapping and finder features work without an internet connection.
You choose your photos.
BreakerMap uses Apple’s photo picker. The app receives only the image you choose, compresses a copy, and saves that copy with your local record. It does not upload that image to a server or request broad access to your photo library. You can remove the saved copy in the app without deleting the original from Photos.
Charging information stays in the app.
The finder uses the device’s charging state to detect a loss of charging power. Saved tests can include start, power-loss, and power-restoration times associated with a mapped item. These records stay with your local data. The app also stores preferences such as alert sound and appearance on your device.
Terms agreements
Versions with explicit Terms acceptance keep the accepted Terms text and version, a document fingerprint, the acceptance date and time, and the app build in local preferences. The app asks for acceptance again when the included version or text changes and retains earlier accepted copies for viewing in Settings → Terms Agreements. These records are not sent to us, linked to an account, or used to verify your identity. Removing app data can remove them; device backups may retain a copy. The included Terms can be read offline. Links from that document to external websites or email connect to the service you choose.
Safety acknowledgments
Versions with a pre-test safety notice save its version, the latest acknowledgment date and time, and the app build in local device preferences. This is not linked to a BreakerMap account or sent to us. It is not an identity-verified signature or electrical-safety record. A new acknowledgment is requested for each new or restarted finder test. Deleting the app’s local data removes this preference; separate device backups may retain a copy.
Earlier sample homes
If an earlier version created a sample home, updated versions keep that home outside your active map under Settings → Archived Homes so edits you may have made are preserved. It stays on your device and can be exported or explicitly restored. New installations do not create sample homes.
Optional Apple Watch companion
In versions that include the Watch companion, your paired iPhone sends the current test’s item name, room, power status, timing, and haptic preference to your Apple Watch through Apple’s WatchConnectivity service. Test identifiers and timestamps help the Watch reject old updates. Your photos and full panel directory are not sent to the Watch. This connection does not use a BreakerMap server or account, and we do not receive these updates.
The Watch displays the most recent test snapshot while the app runs; Apple’s paired-device service may retain the latest delivered snapshot. Old or disconnected information is not presented as a live reading. This feature does not sync your saved map between devices, and an iPad cannot send tests to an Apple Watch.
You choose what to share.
PDF and JSON exports are created on your device. You decide where to save or send them using the iOS share sheet. A JSON export includes your saved records and photos. The recipients and apps you select handle those copies under their own policies; BreakerMap does not automatically send them to us.
Backups, retention, and deletion
Your local records remain until you remove them or delete the app’s data. You can remove individual photos and items or delete a panel or property in the app. Deleting a panel or property removes its associated mapped data. Deleting the app through iOS also removes its local data; offloading the app may retain its documents.
Your device backup settings may include app data in Apple or computer backups. BreakerMap does not provide its own cloud backup or cross-device syncing. Previously exported files, messages, and backups are separate copies: manage or delete them with the relevant recipient, service, or device. We cannot access, retrieve, or delete those copies for you. Importing JSON archives is not available in this version.
This website and links from the app
Opening Help, Terms, or Privacy from Settings or a safety notice loads this website in a browser. The request does not include your saved map or photos. Our website code does not set tracking cookies, include advertising or analytics, or send sample-panel searches to a server. The demo uses fixed examples in your browser and does not save them between visits.
The website is hosted using OpenAI Sites and protected by Cloudflare. Delivering and protecting the site can involve standard request information, including IP address, browser information, requested page, and request time. Cloudflare may run browser security checks and use security cookies, including __cf_bm, to detect automated traffic and reduce abuse. These security features do not receive your saved app records or photos.
Service-provider processing is described in the OpenAI privacy policy, Cloudflare privacy policy, and Cloudflare cookie information. We do not set the providers’ log-retention periods. Apple and other services you choose to open have their own privacy policies.
Apple diagnostics and TestFlight
Apple may provide us with crash reports and aggregate app statistics through its developer services, according to your settings and Apple’s policies. TestFlight beta testing can provide tester contact information, device and operating-system details, installation and usage information, crash reports, and feedback you choose to submit. We use these reports to investigate issues and improve BreakerMap. This is separate from the app’s local directory; do not include private home information in feedback screenshots unless necessary.
See TestFlight & Privacy and App Analytics & Privacy for Apple’s handling and available choices.
When you contact support
If you email us, we receive your email address, the name shown on your message, and whatever text or attachments you send. We use that information to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, investigate reported defects or safety incidents, and handle privacy requests. Please send only the information needed for your request; a complete home map or data export usually is not necessary.
Support messages are handled through our email providers, including forwarding and inbox services. They may process and store messages to deliver and secure email. We retain correspondence only for as long as reasonably needed to resolve the request, maintain necessary support records, or meet legal obligations. You can ask us to delete correspondence; some information may need to be kept when required by law or to resolve an outstanding matter.
Your choices and privacy requests
We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. We share information you send us only as needed with service providers that operate the website or email, or when required by law. We use reasonable safeguards for information we receive, but no storage or communication method is completely secure.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information we hold, to object to or restrict certain processing, or to complain to a privacy regulator. Contact us to make a request. We may need to confirm that a request comes from you. For records that exist only on your iPhone or iPad, use the app’s editing, export, and deletion controls.
Children’s information
BreakerMap is designed for homeowners and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information through support. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can address it.
Changes and contact
We will update this page and its effective date when our practices change. Material changes will be explained on the website or in the app, as appropriate; any notice or consent required by applicable law will be provided.
For privacy questions or requests, contact Jaret Priddy at [email protected]. For app instructions, visit the help guide.
