BlueChip Machining Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 18, 2026
BlueChip Machining (“BlueChip”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is provided by Berard Industries. This policy explains how the app handles information, including local shop data, purchases, advertising, and feedback.
Accounts and Local App Data
BlueChip does not require you to create a BlueChip account. Notes, jobs, setup sheets, tool information, photos, company details, calculator inputs, favorites, and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not upload this shop content to our servers or intentionally provide it to advertising or purchase providers.
Your device or operating system may include app data in backups, depending on your settings. Files you export or share are handled by the destination or service you choose.
Photos, Camera, and Files
When you choose features that use photos, the camera, or files, BlueChip may request the permissions needed for that action. Selected images may be copied into app storage for jobs, tools, setup sheets, or your company logo. You can manage permissions in your device settings.
Purchases and Restore Purchases
BlueChip uses Google Play or the Apple App Store, together with RevenueCat, to process and verify lifetime Pro access and restore purchases. These services process purchase records, transaction identifiers, app user identifiers, and technical information needed to provide and secure the purchase service. RevenueCat creates an app user identifier even when you do not create a BlueChip account.
We do not receive your full payment-card details. Payment information is handled by your app store. Purchase records may be retained by the store and RevenueCat according to their policies and applicable requirements.
Learn more at RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy, Google’s Privacy Policy, and Apple’s Privacy Policy.
Advertising
The free Android version may display advertisements provided by Google AdMob when advertising is enabled. Confirmed Pro users are not shown these in-app advertisements. Advertising availability may differ between versions and platforms.
Google’s advertising SDK may collect and share IP addresses, device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostic information to deliver and measure advertising, prevent fraud, and operate its services. An IP address may be used to estimate a general location. Advertising data processing depends on your consent choices, device settings, region, and the advertising configuration.
BlueChip requests advertising consent where required using Google’s consent tools. When available or required, you can review or change your choices through “Ad privacy choices” in Settings. You can also manage advertising privacy controls in your device settings. Declining personalized advertising does not necessarily prevent all advertisements or all processing needed to serve permitted ads.

Analytics
BlueChip does not include a separate general-purpose analytics service to track your machining work. Advertising, purchase, and app-store providers may process usage, transaction, and diagnostic information associated with their services.
Exports, Sharing, and Feedback
When you export backups, PDFs, photos, or other files, or choose to share them, the selected content leaves the app through the destination you choose. Exported documents may include customer information, prices, photos, or company details, depending on their contents and your settings.
If you send feedback, your email or sharing provider handles the message. Feedback may include the text you enter, the app version, platform, and Pro purchase status. If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you include. We use that information to respond and investigate issues. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive or confidential information.
Retention and Your Choices
Local content remains on your device until you delete it, clear app storage, or uninstall the app, subject to operating-system backup and restore behavior. Exported files and backups can remain outside the app and must be managed separately. Keep a backup before uninstalling if you want to preserve your shop data.
We retain feedback correspondence for as long as reasonably needed to provide support and maintain relevant records. Third-party providers retain information under their own policies. Uninstalling BlueChip does not automatically delete purchase records or information already held by those providers.
You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold about you. Depending on your location, you may have additional privacy rights. We may need information to verify and fulfill a request and may retain records where required by law.
Security and International Processing
We take reasonable care when handling information, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure. Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, as described in their privacy policies.
Children’s Privacy
BlueChip is a machining and manufacturing reference tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as BlueChip changes. The updated policy will be posted at this address with a revised date.
