Privacy Policy

UMD Switched is a companion app for controlling Ultimation Direct's Bluetooth relay time-clock hardware. This page explains, plainly, what the app does and doesn't do with your data.

01The short version

UMD Switched doesn't have a server, an account system, or any analytics. It talks directly to your relay hardware over Bluetooth Low Energy and nowhere else. We don't collect, store, or see any of your data — there's nothing on our end to collect it with.

02What the app collects

Nothing is sent off your phone. The table below covers every category a store privacy label typically asks about.

Account data
Not collected — there's no sign-up or login.
Location
Not collected. Android's Bluetooth-scan permission is requested with the neverForLocation flag, so the app is not entitled to derive location from it.
Usage analytics
Not collected — no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs are included.
Relay schedule & settings
Entered on your phone and transmitted directly to your relay hardware over Bluetooth. The app does not keep a separate copy once you disconnect, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Advertising identifiers
Not collected — the app shows no ads and includes no ad SDKs.

03Bluetooth & permissions

The app requests Bluetooth permissions (and, on iOS, explains this via the system prompt) for one purpose: connecting to your own relay hardware to read its status, send schedule changes, and issue manual on/off/pulse commands. It does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, or precise location, and would have no use for any of them.

04Sharing & third parties

There is nothing to share, because nothing leaves your device. UMD Switched does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or cloud storage provider, and Ultimation Direct does not receive, buy, or sell any data related to your use of the app.

05Data retention

Since the app has no backend, there is no server-side retention period to disclose. Your relay's schedule lives on the relay hardware itself, under your control, until you change it from the app or reset the device.

06Children's privacy

UMD Switched is a professional/industrial tool for configuring gate and barrier hardware. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone — of any age — since the app doesn't collect information at all.

07Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes — for example, if a future version of the app adds a feature that does involve data collection — this page will be updated and the effective date above will change accordingly. We'd only expect that to happen alongside a clearly-announced new feature, not silently.
