Privacy Policy
🔒 Privacy-by-Design Architecture: LandlordProof operates primarily on-device. Your property inspection records, move-in/move-out checklists, rental damage photos, GPS coordinates, and security deposit amounts stay strictly on your local device. We run zero central photo servers, require no account sign-in for core features, and never sell or monetize your personal evidence files.
1. On-Device Evidence Storage & Privacy Architecture
LandlordProof ("we", "our", or "the App") is built on an offline-first architecture. When you use LandlordProof on iOS, Android, or our web application, your information is stored locally on your device:
- No Account Required: You can use LandlordProof without creating an account or providing an email address to use the core app.
- No Cloud Photo Sync: Your walkthrough photos and evidence records remain strictly on your local device storage unless you choose to export or share a PDF report yourself.
2. Camera, Photo Library & Location Permissions
- Camera: Used exclusively when you take evidence photos of property conditions and pre-existing flaws.
- Photo Library: Used when you import existing photos of damage or comparison shots into your inspection reports, or save generated reports to your device photos.
- Location (GPS): Used solely on-device at the moment you capture an evidence photo to verify the geographic coordinates and reverse-geocode the address for legal watermarks. Coordinates are rendered directly onto the image pixels on your device and are never transmitted to external servers.
3. 100% Free App & Advertising Policy (Google AdMob & Google AdSense)
LandlordProof is free to use and supported by third-party advertising partners to sustain ongoing statutory updates, maintenance, and server bandwidth:
- Google AdMob: Serves banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads within the iOS and Android mobile applications.
- Google AdSense: Serves display advertisements on the LandlordProof website and web application.
Mandatory Google Advertising & Partner Disclosures:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies and mobile identifiers enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites across the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
- Google Partner Sites Policy: To learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Local Evidence Privacy: Your property addresses, tenant names, photos, and deposit records are strictly isolated in your local sandboxed database and are never shared with or transmitted to Google AdMob, Google AdSense, or any ad exchange.
4. Cookies & Mobile Advertising Identifiers
Our website uses minimal technical cookies and Google AdSense advertising cookies (such as _gads, __gpi, and IDE). While LandlordProof itself never profiles you or transmits your rental records, our ad-supported mobile apps use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) and Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt—where applicable—to let you grant or decline permission for mobile advertising identifiers (Apple IDFA and Google Advertising ID).
For complete details on each cookie, its lifespan, purpose, and how to manage your consent, please review our dedicated Cookie Policy.
5. European Regulations & GDPR Compliance (EEA / UK)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have comprehensive rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Right of Access & Portability: You can export all your property checklists, evidence photos, and notes at any time as standardized PDF dossiers.
- Right to Erasure: Deleting a property or uninstalling the app permanently erases all records from your device immediately.
- Consent Management: We utilize Google's certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) integrating the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF v2.2) to collect and manage your advertising consent before any personalized ads are requested. You can reset or update your consent preferences at any time in the app settings.
6. US State Privacy Regulations (CCPA / CPRA / VCDPA / CPA)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other US state privacy laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah):
- We do not sell your personal information or evidence records for monetary consideration.
- We do not share your personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising without your explicit consent.
- You have the right to request deletion of your information and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data.
- Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: You can exercise your opt-out rights via our mobile app consent manager or through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out portal.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
LandlordProof is designed for adult tenants, homeowners, property managers, and independent landlords. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
8. Apple & Google Compliance (Privacy Manifest)
LandlordProof complies with Apple's Privacy Manifest standards (declaration NSPrivacyTracking: false) and Google Play Data Safety requirements, ensuring complete privacy transparency.
