Gear Upkeep Privacy Policy

Effective November 5, 2026. Gear Upkeep is made by KDJ Enterprises LLC ("KDJ Apps").

Gear Upkeep is a maintenance tracker for the equipment around your home. The short version: your data stays on your phone, we have no servers, no accounts, and no analytics, and we never see anything you put in the app.

What the app stores

Equipment details (names, brands, model and serial numbers, hour meter readings, notes), photos you attach, maintenance tasks, the service log, your shopping stores, reminder settings, and seasonal checklist progress. All of it is saved on your device only. It is not sent to KDJ Apps or to anyone else by the app. If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it.

Optional AI features and your own API key

Gear Upkeep can use an artificial intelligence service to read equipment tags and find parts prices. This is optional and off until you set it up. There are two ways to use it:

Your API key is kept in your phone's built-in secure storage (the Keychain on iPhone, the Keystore on Android). It is never sent anywhere except to the provider you chose. You can remove it at any time in Settings.

Camera and photos

The app asks for camera or photo library access only when you choose to attach a photo or scan a tag. Photos you attach are copied into the app's private storage on your device. They leave your device only if you use Scan the model tag with your own API key, as described above.

Notifications

If you turn on reminders, the app schedules notifications on your device for upcoming maintenance. These are local notifications; no notification server is involved.

Links to stores

"Find it" opens a store's website (such as Amazon, Walmart, Lowe's or Home Depot) in your browser with a search for the part. Those sites have their own privacy policies. Gear Upkeep does not include affiliate links or tracking.

What we do not do

Children

Gear Upkeep is a general-audience utility and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date.
