1What stays on your device
Rampwise stores everything you create in its own storage on your phone: sites, the addresses you type, building details, measurements, answers, notes, photos, audit history, the "Prepared by" name, any partner branding you apply, and your settings. Reports are made on the phone. There is no account, no sign-up and no cloud copy kept by us.
A report, a CSV file or a data export leaves your phone only when you share it yourself, for example by email or to your files.
If device backup is turned on, Android or iOS may include Rampwise's data in your own Google or Apple backup. We cannot see that backup.
2Camera and sensors
- Camera: used only when you take an evidence photo. The photo is resized and kept in Rampwise's storage on your phone. It leaves the phone only for an AI photo check you have allowed (section 4) or in a report you share.
- Motion sensor: the tilt tool reads the phone's accelerometer to measure slopes. This needs no permission and the readings stay on your phone.
- Location: Rampwise never reads your location. Addresses are free text that you type.
The guided walk asks you not to photograph people.
3The Rampwise server
Rampwise has a small server of its own (rampwise-api), run on Cloudflare Workers. The app works without it; it is used to:
- download settings such as ad limits, update notices and messages;
- download updated building-code rule packs;
- apply partner branding when you type a partner code (the code is sent to look up the branding);
- check that a report or Pro has been bought before an AI photo check, and pass your photos to the AI model (section 4).
The server has no database or file storage and does not keep logs of requests. It never records request contents, photos, purchase IDs or codes. Like any website, Cloudflare sees your IP address when your phone connects. The server uses it, and a scrambled form of your purchase ID during AI checks, only to count requests for about a minute to stop abuse. Nothing is kept after that.
4AI photo checks (paid reports only)
When you buy a report or have Pro, Rampwise can propose answers to photo questions such as "Is there a grab bar on the side wall?". This is off until you agree to it.
- Consent first. Before the first check, a screen explains what is sent and asks for your permission (Allow or Not now). Without it, you answer the questions yourself. You can withdraw permission at any time in Settings > AI photo checks.
- What is sent: the photos of the element being checked, resized on your phone to at most 1280 x 960 pixels and stripped of their metadata (such as the GPS position, time and camera details a camera app may add), with the rule-pack, element and question IDs. No site name, address, measurement, note, name or email is sent. To confirm your purchase, the app also sends RevenueCat's random purchase ID to our server, which asks RevenueCat whether a report or Pro is active.
- Who analyses them: our server passes the photos to Anthropic, PBC through the Claude API. Claude returns "yes", "no" or "unclear" with a short note. Our server does not store or log the photos or the answers.
- You decide: every AI answer is a proposal. Only the answers you confirm or correct are used, and the report says that photo answers were confirmed by a person. AI never supplies a measurement.
- Anthropic's handling: Anthropic processes the photos as our service provider under its Commercial Terms of Service. Anthropic states that it automatically deletes API inputs and outputs within 30 days of receipt or generation, unless it must keep them longer to enforce its Usage Policy or to meet a legal obligation (Anthropic: how long do you store my organization's data, updated 1 July 2026). Anthropic also states that by default it does not use inputs or outputs from the Anthropic API to train its models (Anthropic: is my data used for model training, updated 18 August 2026).
5Purchases
Google Play or the Apple App Store take the payment. We use RevenueCat, Inc. to confirm what you have bought, keep Pro working and restore purchases. RevenueCat receives your purchase history (product, price, dates and store transaction details) and a random app user ID created on your phone. That ID is not linked to your name or email, and we do not give RevenueCat any other data. We never receive card details.
6Ads (free version)
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob on quick checks and the sites list. There are no ads in the audit walk, the results or the report, and Pro has no ads.
- The Google Mobile Ads SDK collects your device's advertising ID, your IP address (which can show your rough location), interactions with ads and app diagnostics, for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention. Google processes this under its own policy.
- In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form (the User Messaging Platform) asks for your choice before ads are personalised. You can change it at any time in Settings > Ad privacy choices.
- On iOS, the advertising ID is used only if you allow tracking in Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change this in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
Rampwise has no analytics or crash-reporting service of its own today. We will update this policy before adding one.
7Service providers
These companies process data for the purposes above. Each has its own privacy policy. They may process data in the United States and other countries.
8How long data is kept
- On your phone: until you delete it in the app or uninstall Rampwise.
- Rampwise server: nothing is stored. Abuse counters keyed by IP address last about a minute.
- Anthropic: API inputs and outputs are deleted within 30 days, with the exceptions Anthropic describes (section 4).
- RevenueCat, Google and Apple: purchase and ad records are kept under their own policies, for example for tax, refunds and fraud prevention.
9Your rights and choices
- See and take your data: Settings > Export my data shares all your sites as JSON text through your phone's share sheet.
- Delete it: Settings > Delete all data removes every site, measurement, answer, photo and setting from your phone.
- Withdraw AI consent: Settings > AI photo checks > Withdraw permission. No further photos are sent.
- Ads: Settings > Ad privacy choices (where required), App Tracking Transparency on iOS, or reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings. Rampwise Pro removes all ads.
- Your legal rights: depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR or the UAE Personal Data Protection Law), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent and to complain to your data protection authority. Because we hold no data about you, most requests are answered by the in-app tools above. For anything else, email us and we will help, including with requests to RevenueCat about your purchase records.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for AI photo checks and personalised ads, on our contract with you for purchases, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and up to date for rule-pack downloads, settings and abuse protection.
10Children
Rampwise is a tool for building owners, managers and professionals. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
11Data deletion
We hold no data about you on our side, so there is nothing to delete on our servers. To remove everything from your phone, use Settings > Delete all data or uninstall the app. Purchases stay with your store account and can be restored. To ask about deletion of records held by RevenueCat, Google, Apple or Anthropic, email mumshadjawad3333@gmail.com and we will help.
12Changes
We will update this policy and the effective date above before Rampwise starts sending any other data off your phone or adds a new service provider.
