Privacy Policy
Last updated 24 September 2026
Your 3D model files never leave your device. Pocket 3D has no servers of its own and no account system. It does show advertising supplied by Google AdMob, and that advertising collects device identifiers in order to function — the sections below explain exactly what and why.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to the Pocket 3D mobile application ("the app") for iOS and Android, published by Codigic Solutions ("we", "us"). It explains what the app does and does not do with information on your device.
Information we collect
We collect nothing ourselves. Pocket 3D has no servers and no account system, so we never receive your name, email address, phone number, contacts or files.
The app contains no analytics SDK and no crash-reporting service. It does contain the Google Mobile Ads SDK, which collects data as described under Third-party advertising below.
Your 3D model files
When you open an STL file, the app reads it from your device's storage in order to display it. That file:
- is never uploaded to us or to any third party;
- is never copied off your device;
- is read only while you are viewing it.
Files that you share into Pocket 3D from another app are placed by the operating system into the app's own private storage area, where only Pocket 3D can read them. You can remove them at any time by deleting the app's data or uninstalling the app.
Information stored on your device
The app keeps a short list of recently opened files so you can reopen them quickly. This list contains the file name, its size, its triangle count and the time you opened it. It is stored in the app's private storage on your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
Network access
The viewer works fully offline. Opening, rendering and measuring a model needs no internet connection at all, and none of that data is transmitted anywhere. The only network traffic the app generates is advertising: requesting ads, reporting that they were shown, and gathering consent where the law requires it. With no connection the app behaves exactly as it always has, simply without ads.
On Android, the app declares the local-network permission. This is used solely by development builds to connect to a developer's local machine while the app is being built. It is not used in the released app and sends nothing anywhere.
Permissions
- File access — used only to read an STL file that you explicitly choose through the system file picker, or that you deliberately share into the app. The app cannot browse your storage on its own.
Children's privacy
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Because the app shows advertising, it is listed for a general audience rather than as a children's app.
Third-party advertising
Pocket 3D shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. To select, deliver, cap the frequency of and measure those ads, Google may collect:
- your device's advertising identifier;
- your IP address, and an approximate location derived from it;
- device and app information, such as model, operating system version and which app the ad was shown in;
- ad interactions — whether an ad was displayed, viewed or tapped.
Google's handling of that data is governed by its own policies, not ours. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your model files are never part of this. The advertising SDK has no access to the files you open, their contents, their names, or any measurement the app calculates from them.
Consent
Where the law requires it — including the EEA and the UK — the app presents a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform before any personalised ad is requested. Your choice is recorded on your device and respected on later launches.
You can review or change that choice at any time from the app's Info panel, which shows a Privacy options entry wherever the consent form applies.
App Tracking Transparency (iOS)
On iOS, the app asks for permission before the advertising identifier may be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. Declining is entirely supported: you will still see ads, they will simply be less relevant. You can change this later in iOS Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of the app changes what it does with your information, this policy will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
