Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 11, 2026
In short
The Electric Motor App does not create accounts, does not use analytics, and does not collect your data. Work you do in the app stays on your phone unless you choose to share or email it yourself.
What we collect
We do not collect personal information, usage analytics, advertising identifiers, or crash reports. There is no login and no server of ours that receives your data.
Camera and photos
The nameplate scanner can use your camera or a photo you pick so the app can read values from a motor nameplate. That reading happens on your phone. The photo is not uploaded, is not sent to us, and is not saved by the app. You can type nameplate values by hand instead of taking a photo.
Location
Location is used only if you tap “Near me” in the shops and suppliers directory. It is used on your phone to sort listings by straight-line distance. It is not uploaded and is not saved after you leave the directory.
What stays on your phone
Job notes, favorites, recent tools, unit and appearance settings, and values from a nameplate scan are stored only in this app’s storage on your phone. Nothing is uploaded or backed up by us. Clearing website data or deleting the app erases it. If you use Share, Save PDF, or a “Report a mistake” / “Suggest a listing” email, you choose what leaves the phone, and that goes to the share target or email you pick.
Links to other sites
The directory and industry events list include links to other companies’ websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for them.
Children
This is a trade reference for motor repair work. We do not collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date.
