Nozzlebook privacy policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

Nozzlebook: 3D Printer Tracker ("Nozzlebook") is made by David Whicker. In short: Nozzlebook does not collect any data. What you enter stays on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud account, where I can't see it.

What the app stores, and where

The spools, printers, prints, maintenance records and settings you enter (such as your electricity rate and currency) are stored on your iPhone or iPad, in the app's own storage and in a shared container that only Nozzlebook's widgets can read.

If you're signed in to iCloud, Nozzlebook also keeps a copy in the private iCloud database of your own Apple account (Apple's CloudKit), so your data syncs between your iPhone and iPad and comes back if you reinstall the app. That copy is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple and is only accessible to your Apple account. I can't see it, and it isn't sent to me or to anyone else. If you're not signed in to iCloud, everything stays on the device.

If you have an Apple Watch, the iPhone app sends a summary (active prints, low spools and this month's spend) directly to your paired watch so the watch app and complication can show it.

Nozzlebook has no account of its own and no servers.

Nozzlebook downloads a public list of David Whicker's other apps from davidwhicker.dev. No personal data or identifiers are sent.

What the app does not do

Notifications

Print-finished, heads-up, low-filament and maintenance alerts are local notifications scheduled on your device. No notification data leaves your device.

Purchases

Nozzlebook Pro is an in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. Nozzlebook only learns whether Pro is unlocked on your Apple account (including through Family Sharing). It never sees your payment details, name or email address.

Exporting your data

If you use Export print log (CSV), the app creates a file and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes next (Files, Mail, another app) is your choice, and that destination's own privacy policy applies.

Ratings

Nozzlebook may occasionally show Apple's standard "Enjoying Nozzlebook?" rating prompt. That prompt is provided and handled by Apple; Nozzlebook doesn't see whether or how you rate it.

Information Apple may share with me

If you have chosen to share analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple may give me anonymous, aggregated crash reports and usage statistics. These do not identify you. See Apple's privacy policy for details.

Backups, sync and deleting your data

With iCloud on, your Nozzlebook data is kept in your private iCloud account and syncs to your other devices signed in to the same Apple account. Your data is also included in your device's normal iCloud or computer backup.

Settings → Erase everything in the app deletes your data on this device and from your iCloud, and so from your other devices too. Deleting the app removes the copy on that device only. Your iCloud copy stays until you erase it in the app, or remove Nozzlebook's data in iPhone Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Account Storage.

Children

Nozzlebook doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
