Benchtrail Privacy Policy
Effective July 14, 2026.
Summary
Benchtrail does not collect data, track users, show ads, require an account, use subscriptions, or use a developer-operated backend. The developer does not sell or share personal information from the app.
Information Stored on Your Device
The app stores information you choose to enter, including protocol titles, sample labels, reagent lots, run notes, deviations, equipment notes, storage positions, attachment checklists, and follow-up tasks. This information remains in local app storage on your device and is not transmitted to the developer.
Sharing and Exports
If you create a PDF packet, it is generated locally and passed to Apple's system share sheet. You choose the destination. The app does not upload the packet to the developer.
Permissions and Network Access
Version 1.0 does not request camera, microphone, location, contacts, photo library, or notification permission. It makes no developer network requests and contains no third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting SDK.
Retention and Deletion
Local records remain on your device until you delete them or remove the app. Deleting the app removes local app data, subject to normal iOS backup behavior controlled by you and Apple.
Product Scope
Benchtrail is a general research-note organizer. It is not a medical device, LIMS, regulated electronic lab notebook, diagnostic tool, clinical decision tool, or compliance system.
