Privacy Policy

Spanwick itself sends nothing on its own. It has no account, no ads and no analytics of its own, and everything it keeps stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. The one exception is Google’s ARCore, which runs the tape and collects a few things while you use it; that is described below.

Last updated 9 November 2026.

The camera

The tape measure and the photo measure use your phone’s camera, and Spanwick asks before it does. Camera frames are read on the phone, while you measure, to find the floor, the walls and the points you tap; they are never recorded, saved or sent. If you say no, the rest of the app still works.

Google’s ARCore

This application runs on Google Play Services for AR (ARCore), which is provided by Google and governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

While you use the tape, Google’s ARCore collects your Google account identifier (or a device identifier if you are not signed in), diagnostics, and which ARCore functions the app calls. Google uses these for analytics and to keep ARCore working, encrypts them on their way to Google, and says it does not share them with third parties. Spanwick never receives them, so we cannot see or delete them; ask Google about them, under its policy.

Photos

For the photo measure you take a photo or choose one with Android’s own photo picker, which hands Spanwick only the photo you choose (the app has no permission to read your gallery). A copy goes into Spanwick’s own folder on your phone while you measure from it, and it is deleted when you use another photo. It is never sent.

What stays on your phone

• Your room: its name, the readings you saved and any lengths you typed from a real tape.
• Your settings: feet and inches or metric, and the level’s calibration.
• A note that a measure was cut short, so the app can tell you next time; it is cleared once you have seen it.

“Clear the room” in the app deletes the room. Uninstalling Spanwick deletes all of it. Nothing is backed up by us, because nothing reaches us.

What Spanwick sends

Nothing on its own. Spanwick itself adds no analytics, no crash reports, no ads and no tracking across other apps or websites, has no account or sign-in, and makes no connection to the internet. The exception is Google’s ARCore, above. Google Play may also install or update Google Play Services for AR, Google’s own camera service, on phones that support it; that is Google’s, under Google’s privacy policy.

Links you choose to open

A room with a plan has two buttons: one opens a free paint calculator and one a free flooring calculator, both on a free website of home calculators. Before either opens, Spanwick names the website and shows you what the link carries: the room’s length and width, for paint its height too, and whether they are in feet or metres. Nothing else is in the link: no name, no photo and no identifier. If you open it, your phone’s browser visits that page and the website receives those numbers in the page’s address, together with what any browser sends to any website; that website’s own privacy policy covers the visit. If you do not open it, the link sends nothing.

Messages you send us

If you write to us at spanwick@dreamyhomestyle.com, we receive your message and your e-mail address, and use them only to answer you. We keep them for up to 24 months, and you can ask us to delete them sooner.

Children

Spanwick is not made for children under 13. Spanwick itself collects nothing from anyone; what Google’s ARCore collects is above.

Who runs Spanwick

Spanwick is run by AI Technology, which publishes it on Google Play as Front Porch Apps.
