Tower Grabber is an Android application for bell ringers to record towers they have visited, ringing sessions, bells rung, photographs and audio recordings.
Tower Grabber is designed primarily to operate offline. Personal ringing records created in the app are stored locally on the user’s device.
This may include:
Tower Grabber also contains local reference information derived from Dove’s Guide for Church Bell Ringers. This reference information is not personal user data.
Tower Grabber may request access to the device camera or photographs when the user chooses to take, import or manage photographs. These photographs are used only for the functions selected by the user.
Tower Grabber may request access to the device microphone when the user chooses to record bell-ringing audio. Audio recordings are stored locally for use within the app.
Tower Grabber does not require a user account.
Tower Grabber does not use advertising or advertising trackers.
Tower Grabber does not sell personal information.
Personal ringing records, photographs and audio are not transmitted to the developer as part of normal app operation.
If the user deliberately exports, backs up or shares information using Android or another service, that information will be handled by the service or destination selected by the user and may be subject to that service’s own privacy policy.
Personal Tower Grabber information is stored within the application’s local storage and user media storage as appropriate. Users should protect access to their device using the security features provided by Android.
Personal information remains on the user’s device until it is edited, deleted, or the application’s local data is removed by the user.
Tower Grabber provides controls for managing personal tower records and associated media.
Uninstalling the application or clearing its application data may remove locally stored information. Users should make appropriate backups before removing data they wish to retain.
Tower Grabber is not specifically designed for children.
This policy may be updated if Tower Grabber’s functionality or data-handling practices change. The current version will remain available at this address.
