Privacy Policy

Genbalog - 現場写真PDF報告書

Last updated: May 2026 / Developer: Freetokyo Labs

1. Introduction

Genbalog (the App) is an iOS and Android application designed to help field workers and independent contractors streamline their reporting workflow. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.

2. Information collected

The App processes the following information on-device only — no data is sent to external servers: photos and image data (stored on-device only); captions and annotations attached to photos; project name, work type, and section information; location data when taking photos (only if the user grants permission); app settings such as language.

3. How information is used

Collected information is used solely for generating and displaying PDF reports. The App works offline and all features are available without an internet connection.

4. Third-party disclosure

The App does not sell, provide, or disclose user data to third parties, except: when the user shares or exports a PDF themselves (by the user's own action); or when disclosure is required by law.

5. Location information

The App can record latitude and longitude when taking photos. Location access requires the user's prior permission. Location data is used only for inclusion in PDF reports and is never sent to external servers.

iOS: You can revoke location permission at any time in iOS Settings.

Android: Recording coordinates also requires the device location permission on Android. You can still take photos and produce reports without granting it (the coordinate field is left empty). Revoke the permission at any time under Settings → Apps → Genbalog → Permissions.

6. Camera and photo library access

iOS: The App requests access to the camera and photo library to take photos and import images. Photo data is stored only in the device's SwiftData database and is never sent externally.

Android: The Android version requests the camera permission only. Images are imported through the Android photo picker, so it never asks for permission to read your whole photo library — only the picture you pick is handed to the App. The image files are kept in the app's private storage (not readable by other apps) and the records — project name, captions, coordinates — in a local database (Room). Neither is ever sent externally.

7. Voice recognition

iOS: The Pro version provides voice caption input. Voice recognition uses Apple's Speech Framework and is subject to Apple's privacy policy. Voice data may be processed on Apple's servers.

Android: The Pro version on Android also provides voice caption input, but the App itself never records audio. Recording and recognition are performed by the speech recognition app installed on the device, and the App receives only the resulting text. The App therefore does not request the microphone permission (RECORD_AUDIO). Handling of the audio is governed by the privacy policy of that speech recognition app's provider. On devices with no speech recognition app the feature is unavailable.

8. Subscription and billing

iOS: All billing is handled via Apple's App Store. The App does not collect or store payment information such as credit card details. Billing privacy is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Android: All billing is handled via Google Play Billing. The App does not collect or store payment information such as credit card details. Billing privacy is governed by Google's privacy policy.

9. Data storage and deletion

All user data is stored on-device only. Deleting the app removes all data from the device.

iOS: Cloud backup follows iCloud backup settings.

Android: Android cloud backup (to Google Drive) and device-to-device transfer are both disabled by the app. No copy is left outside the device.

10. Children's privacy

The App is intended for business use and is not designed for use by children under 13.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may change without prior notice. Important changes will be communicated in app update notes. The latest policy is posted on this page.

How the Android version handles your data

The following describes the Android version (Android 9.0 and later). Everything above applies to iOS; only the points below differ on Android.

Your records are stored in a local database (Room) on your device. They are never sent to the developer's servers.

Site photos you take and reports you export are kept in the app's own file storage on your device. The app's own code performs no network communication.

Both cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are disabled (allowBackup="false" plus data_extraction_rules.xml). To move to a new device, export a backup yourself from inside the app.

To export, use "Back up everything" in Settings to write a ZIP, then "Restore from backup" on the new device. Both are available without a subscription.

The only external services used are Google Play Billing (purchases) and Google Play In-app Review (rating prompt). Google processes all payments; card details never reach the developer.

Voice caption input hands the recording to Android's own speech recognition (RecognizerIntent) and receives only the recognised text. This app holds no recording permission and never handles the audio itself. The audio is handled under the privacy policy of whichever app provides speech recognition on your device.

When you share a report, the file is passed to another app only at the moment you choose that app yourself. The developer does not receive its contents.

The only device permissions the app requests are approximate location, location and the camera. Each is asked for only when you use the matching feature, and declining leaves the rest of the app usable.

Camera is used to take site photos. Location is used, when you turn stamping on, to record GPS coordinates on a photo and to fill the coordinate columns in the CSV export. Both stay on your device and are never transmitted. You can decline location and still use the app; the coordinate fields are simply left empty.

Uninstalling the app deletes the data on your device. With backup and transfer disabled, no copy remains outside it.

Controller, contact and your rights

This app is provided by Freetokyo Labs, which acts as the data controller. For any question about this policy or about personal data, contact support@freetokyolabs.com. We normally reply within five business days.

If you are in the EU, the EEA or the UK, the GDPR gives you the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your personal data, to withdraw consent and to object to processing. You may also lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know, delete and correct the personal information collected about you, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information.

Where this app stores data only on your device, we have no access to it, so most of these rights are exercised directly on the device: delete or export inside the app, or delete the app. We will still answer any request you send us.

Retention: on-device data is kept until you delete it or remove the app. Support emails are deleted 24 months after the request is closed.
