WeldSlate Privacy Policy
Your weld records, profile library, observed pass parameters, result labels, and selected photos stay on your device. The only network feature is feedback you choose to submit.

WeldSlate
Private offline welding fact ledger
The short version
Welding Data WeldSlate Handles
WeldSlate stores the job name, work order, operator label, date, process, joint, position, machine, base material, consumable, observed amps, volts, wire feed, travel speed, gas, flow, polarity, electrode or filler, notes, result label, and selected photos that you enter. These are user-entered facts; WeldSlate is not a welding, inspection, safety, or quality certification, does not recommend or calculate welding settings, and does not replace qualified judgment.
Local Storage
Your ledger is stored locally in WeldSlate's private app container on your iPhone or iPad. WeldSlate has no account, cloud sync, advertising, or analytics and does not upload your welding ledger to ApplyAI servers.
Backups, Imports, and Sharing
Record and pass CSV files and complete backups containing selected photos with a verified manifest and checksums are created only when you request them. You choose where to save or share each file. WeldSlate reads an import only after you select it, validates its schema, limits, manifest, and checksums, and shows a preview and conflict choices before merging or replacing local data.
Optional Feedback
If you submit in-app feedback, WeldSlate sends your message, optional email address, selected screenshots, app version, operating-system version, device model, locale, and App Attest security proof to the ApplyAI support service. We use this information only for support, defect investigation, abuse prevention, and app improvement.
Images You Select
WeldSlate can access only weld-result photos or up to three feedback screenshots that you explicitly select with Apple's system photo picker. Result photos are re-encoded without metadata. Removing an image or cancelling a feedback draft requests deletion of uploaded draft screenshots; unattached draft uploads are automatically removed after 24 hours.
Diagnostics and App Attest
WeldSlate includes no third-party analytics or advertising SDK. App Attest supplies app and device integrity evidence for optional feedback submissions and is used for abuse prevention, not cross-app tracking.
Paid App Store Download
WeldSlate is a USD 0.99 paid App Store download, with Apple-equivalent prices in other regions. Apple completes the purchase before installation. The app contains no in-app purchase, subscription, paywall, receipt, or transaction verification, so WeldSlate sends ApplyAI no purchase data.
Retention and Deletion
Local WeldSlate data remains until you replace it with an import or remove the app. Exported files remain wherever you chose to save them. Submitted feedback is kept only as reasonably needed to respond, investigate defects, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations.
Permissions
The core ledger requires no camera, contacts, location, microphone, broad photo-library, or account access. Apple's system photo picker appears only when you choose a weld-result photo or feedback screenshot.
Children
WeldSlate is a general-audience professional utility and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Policy Changes
We may update this policy when WeldSlate or its data practices change. The current version will remain available on this page with a revised update date.
