Privacy

On your device

Your guide bookmarks stay in your browser or app storage. Search terms are used to filter the catalog on your device. Guides load when you use the library. Tapping Download sends a file to your browser or your device’s share tools without keeping a copy or download history in DwellDIY.

Find a Pro filters a bundled contractor index on your device. City, postal area, trade and business name are used for that search without requesting access to your device location. Opening a map or directory link can send its search terms to that service.

You can clear saved preferences through your browser’s site data controls or by removing the app and its data. Your device handles any guide files you choose to save.

On the web

Your browser makes ordinary requests to the web host to load the library. The host may process request data, such as an IP address, as part of delivering and protecting the site. DwellDIY does not add advertising trackers or analytics scripts. Guides and contractor search are open without signing in. See member privacy for Google sign-in and applications, or signup privacy for early-access registrations.

Room Planner

Room measurements and estimate inputs are saved in this device’s browser or app storage. A reference photo stays in memory while you have the planner open. DwellDIY does not upload the photo.

On compatible beta builds, you can choose to open the camera for room measurements. DwellDIY sends the resulting dimensions to the planner on your device. Android depth scanning uses Google Play Services for AR (ARCore), provided by Google and governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

App updates

The installed app can check Expo for compatible updates at launch. Expo may process ordinary request information to deliver the update.

Job requests and photos

Your job request details and photos are prepared on your device. DwellDIY does not upload them or send your email. Opening a draft, sharing, copying or downloading passes the information to the app or file you choose. The recipient can see your email address when you send the request. DwellDIY may keep temporary attachment copies on the device so your email app can read them.

Links and sharing

Source links open the publisher’s site and follow its privacy practices. If you share or export a guide, your device’s share tools or the destination you choose handle the file.
