Privacy policy: Print Cost: Quotes & Profit

Effective 2026-10-14. Provider: Plain Apps, Residenzstr. 5, 80333 Munich, Germany, plainapps@tuta.com.

In short

Print Cost does not collect, transmit or share personal data. Your quotes, customers, materials, printers, fee profiles, business details and settings stay on your phone. The app has no account, no ads, no analytics and no crash reporting. The Android app has no internet permission, and the iPhone app makes no network requests.

What the app stores

The quotes you create with the customer names, companies, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, notes and prices you type; your materials, printers, fee profiles and stock records; your business details (name, address, e-mail, phone, tax id, payment terms, footer text); your logo (a PNG or JPEG of up to 512 KB, stored inside the app's database); and your settings (language, currency, VAT and cost defaults), in the app's own storage on your phone. You are responsible for the data of your customers that you enter; the provider has no access to it. Deleting a quote, customer, material or printer in the app deletes it from the app (items that are used in quotes are archived instead). This version has no single "delete everything" button: uninstalling the app removes everything the app stored, including its PDFs and temporary files. It cannot remove copies you made yourself or that your phone's backup holds (see below). When the app holds your quotes, customers, materials or printers, it writes them to a safety file in its own folder before a restore; the next restore overwrites that file.

Permissions

The app asks for no permission. Files are chosen with your phone's own file picker and sent with its share sheet; neither needs a permission, and the app sees only the file you choose. It does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, notifications or the internet.

Files you pick and files you share

A slicer file you pick is read in small parts; the app keeps only the print time, the filament amounts and types and the file name, not the file. A logo you pick is copied into the app. "Create PDF", "Back up" and "Export CSV" pass a file to the app or place you choose in the share sheet. After you hand something over, that app's or provider's rules apply, not this policy. A backup file is readable JSON and a CSV file is plain text: neither is encrypted and both contain your customers' names and addresses, so keep them somewhere safe. "Restore from a backup file" reads only the file you pick and changes nothing if the file is not a backup of this app.

Links

The link to this policy opens in your phone's browser; that site follows its own rules and the app sends nothing to it.

Phone backups

Android: the app is excluded from Google's automatic backup. A transfer of apps to a new phone by cable or wirelessly (Android 12 and newer) may still copy the app's data; that is a feature of Android. iPhone: if you back up your whole iPhone to iCloud or a computer, your phone's own backup may include this app's data, like any app's. That is a feature of your phone and your Apple account, not something the app sends; you control it in your phone's settings.

Children, ads, sharing of data

The app is not directed at children, contains no ads and shares no data with third parties.

Your rights

Because the app collects no personal data, there is nothing for the provider to access, correct or delete; uninstalling removes the app's data from your phone. Contact: plainapps@tuta.com. You may complain to your data-protection authority.

Not tax or legal advice

Calculations, fee templates and VAT hints in the app are information, not tax or legal advice, and a quote is not an invoice. Check the numbers against your own figures and ask your adviser what applies to you.

Changes

Changes will be posted here and in the app.
