Privacy Policy

Effective 3 October 2026 · Applies to the PCB Canvas apps for iPad and Android, including TestFlight and Google Play test builds

PCB Canvas is a circuit board design app. Your boards are yours. The app has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.

In short:

Your designs and files

Boards, schematics and exported fabrication files are stored on your device. If you open or save files in iCloud Drive or another location through the Files app on iPad, or through Android's file picker or a folder you grant on Android, those files are handled by Apple, Google or that provider under their own terms. We never receive copies of your files.

When the app uses the network

Nothing else leaves your device.

Diagnostics

On iPad, the app uses Apple's MetricKit to keep performance and crash diagnostics in its own Documents folder on your device. The app has no way to upload them. You can look at them or share them yourself through the Files app. The Android app keeps no diagnostics of its own.

If you install a beta through TestFlight, Apple may share crash reports, usage information and any feedback or screenshots you choose to send with us, under Apple's privacy policy and TestFlight's terms. TestFlight also shows us the name or email address you were invited with, or that you use a public link. We use this only to fix problems and improve the app.

On Android, Google Play may share crash and performance reports (Android vitals) with us, and shows us the email address of anyone who joins a test track. This is under Google's privacy policy. We use it only to fix problems and improve the app.

Settings stored on your device

The app saves preferences, such as view options, and the addresses of any services you pair, on your device. They are removed when you delete the app.

Children

PCB Canvas is a professional design tool. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes

If the app starts handling data differently, we will update this page and its effective date before that version is released.
