Gradientforge privacy
Gradientforge is designed to keep LC transfer cases and evidence on the user's device without accounts, tracking, or a developer-operated cloud service.
Data collection
Gradientforge does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share personal data. The app contains no analytics SDK, advertising SDK, tracking technology, account system, subscription, in-app purchase, remote database, or developer-operated upload service.
Case data
Case names, analyst names, sample and method references, revision history, column and system configurations, gradient rows, raw dwell observations, replicate peak observations, user-entered acceptance criteria, findings, decisions, notes, and audit events are stored in the app's local container. The developer does not receive this information.
Exports
Two JSON files, four CSV files, Markdown and PDF reports, and a SHA-256 manifest are generated locally as a versioned nine-file evidence packet. Gradientforge shares that packet only after you tap Export evidence packet and choose a destination through Apple's share sheet. The privacy terms of the destination you choose apply after export.
Network use
Gradientforge does not send case data over the network. A network connection is used only if you choose to open an external primary-reference link in Decision Handoff. That publisher receives a normal web request under its own privacy policy; no Gradientforge case is attached.
Permissions
Gradientforge does not request camera, microphone, photo library, location, contacts, health, Bluetooth, local-network, or tracking permission. The system share sheet appears only after an explicit export action.
Retention and deletion
Projects remain in the local app container until you delete a project or remove the app. Evidence files shared to Files or another destination are controlled by that destination and must be deleted there separately.
This website
This website has no account, form, analytics script, advertising, tracking pixel, or cookie-based profile. Its hosting provider may process ordinary request information needed to deliver and secure the pages according to the provider's terms.
Children
Gradientforge is a specialist laboratory planning utility and is not directed to children. Because the app does not collect data, it does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Policy changes
If Gradientforge's data practices change, this page and the App Store privacy disclosures will be revised before the changed behavior is released. The last-updated date above identifies the current policy.
Contact
Privacy questions can be sent to the developer. Do not attach proprietary methods, sample identifiers, regulated records, or confidential chromatograms.
