Privacy Policy for QuickEstimate AI
QuickEstimate AI (net.quickestimate.app) is operated by Maven Equities LLC and Nesberry LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”). This policy describes our local-first privacy architecture, how permissions are utilized, and how we protect your personal and business data.
Key Privacy Principle: Zero-Login & Local-First Storage
QuickEstimate AI requires no user registration, username, password, or account creation. All your customer contact details, estimate line items, invoices, custom logos, and digital signatures remain stored exclusively on your local device. We do not host a central user database and never sell, monetize, or harvest your client data.
1. Information We Collect & Where It Is Stored
When you use QuickEstimate AI, all contractor profile details (business name, contractor license number, phone number, email, and address), client contact records, job site descriptions, pricing formulas, and digital signatures are retained in your device's local storage (such as browser localStorage and sandboxed app storage).
Because this information remains on your hardware, we cannot access, browse, or query your job documents. You retain full and sole custody of all estimates, quotes, work agreements, and invoices generated within the application.
2. Device Permissions & Optional Features
A. Microphone Access (Audio Recording)
• Usage: QuickEstimate AI requests microphone permission (RECORD_AUDIO / NSMicrophoneUsageDescription) solely when you tap the voice dictation microphone button to dictate job scopes, materials, or tasks.
• Processing: Spoken audio is converted into text and transmitted over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our AI inference provider (Groq API / OpenAI compatible endpoint) strictly to structure natural language notes into itemized estimate rows.
• Retention: Audio streams and transcripts are ephemeral, are never saved on our servers, and are never used to train public artificial intelligence models.
B. Photo Library & Camera Access (Optional Logo Upload)
• Usage: If you choose to personalize your estimates by adding a company logo, the app opens the system photo picker or camera.
• Processing & Storage: Selected images are converted directly into a base64 string on your device and saved into local storage. Logos are never transmitted to or archived on any remote server.
C. Location Data
• QuickEstimate AI does not request, track, or store your GPS or real-time location.
3. Financial & Payment Information
A. Contractor-to-Client Job Payments: QuickEstimate AI is a document creation tool, not a financial institution or escrow agent. The app enables contractors to optionally display their own payment handles (e.g. Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or payment URLs) on PDF invoices so clients can pay them directly. QuickEstimate AI never touches, collects, holds, or processes funds exchanged between contractors and their clients.
B. QuickEstimate AI Pro Upgrades: Optional Pro subscriptions or Lifetime passes are billed securely via Stripe, Inc. We never collect, store, or have access to your full credit card number or bank account credentials. All payment processing complies with PCI-DSS Level 1 standards under Stripe's Privacy Policy (stripe.com/privacy ).
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We work with trusted industry partners strictly to deliver application infrastructure:
- Cloudflare: Application hosting, edge caching, and DDoS defense (Cloudflare Privacy Policy).
- Stripe: PCI-compliant checkout and subscription billing for optional Pro upgrades.
- Groq / OpenAI: Ephemeral AI inference for structuring dictated voice notes into line items.
- Apple App Store & Google Play Store: Binary distribution, crash logs, and operating system updates.
5. User Data Control, Retention & Deletion
Because your information is stored on your device, you have complete control over its retention:
- Exporting Data: You can download or email permanent PDF copies of any estimate, agreement, or invoice at any time.
- Deleting Data: You can delete individual documents inside the app, clear all data via Settings → Clear Data, or uninstall the app from your device to erase all local data instantly.
- Server-Side Records: Because we do not store your estimates or customer database on our servers, there are no remote user records to request deletion for.
6. Children's Privacy
QuickEstimate AI is intended for adult professionals, contractors, and business operators. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable). If we discover that a minor has provided information, it will be deleted immediately.
7. Security Safeguards
We employ strict industry-standard security protocols, including HTTPS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for all network traffic between the app and external APIs. Sensitive operations, including document rendering and signature binding, occur locally within your device sandbox.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may periodically revise this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates, legal requirements, or platform store guidelines. When changes are made, the revised policy will be posted directly at this URL (https://quick-estimate.net/privacy) with an updated effective date.
