This Privacy Policy explains how THE WOODEN LADDER LLC ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the THE WOODEN LADDER LLC Android application (the "App").
Privacy Contact: info@thewoodenladder.online
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. OVERVIEW
THE WOODEN LADDER LLC is a wood-art gallery and inquiry application that allows users to explore wooden sculptures, handcrafted furniture, wall art, décor and custom woodworking concepts.
The App is designed primarily as a local-first application.
No user account or login is required.
The App does not operate an account-based cloud service for storing your favorites, cart selections or onboarding preferences.
2. INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
Some information generated through your use of the App may be stored locally on your Android device.
This may include:
- Favorite artwork selections
- Cart items
- Selected quantities
- Saved order-related information
- Onboarding completion status
- App preferences
- Other locally saved interface or gallery selections
This information is used to provide App features such as restoring your favorites, cart and preferences when you reopen the App.
This locally stored information is not intentionally uploaded to an app-operated server.
3. INFORMATION YOU MAY ENTER
When using the contact or inquiry features, you may choose to enter information such as:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your inquiry or message
- Information about an artwork you are interested in
- Custom woodworking requirements
- Desired dimensions, finishes or design ideas
- Other information you voluntarily include in your inquiry
The App uses this information to prepare an email inquiry.
The App itself does not operate a backend database for storing these contact-form submissions.
4. EMAIL INQUIRIES
Certain App features allow you to prepare an email to THE WOODEN LADDER LLC.
Examples may include:
- SEND VIA EMAIL
- ASK ABOUT IT
- REQUEST ORDER
- Custom artwork inquiries
- General gallery inquiries
When you choose one of these options, the App may open an email application installed on your device with information prepared for you.
You decide whether to send the email.
After you send an email, the information is handled by your selected email provider and the recipient of the message.
THE WOODEN LADDER LLC can receive information that you voluntarily send by email at:
5. FAVORITES
The App includes a Favorites feature that allows you to save artwork you are interested in.
Favorite selections are designed to be stored locally on your device.
No account is required to use Favorites.
6. CART AND ORDER REQUESTS
The App may allow you to:
- Add artwork to a cart
- Remove artwork from the cart
- Adjust quantities
- Review estimated totals
- Prepare an order inquiry
Cart information is designed to remain locally stored on your device.
The App does not directly process credit cards, debit cards or other financial payments.
Submitting or preparing an order request through the App does not itself represent a completed purchase.
Final pricing, availability, customization, shipping, delivery and payment arrangements must be confirmed separately where applicable.
7. NO USER ACCOUNT
The App does not require you to create an account.
Accordingly, the App does not maintain an app-operated account profile containing a username and password.
Because there is no user account, there is no separate account-deletion process within the App.
8. INTERNET ACCESS
An internet connection may be used for certain features, including loading artwork images and opening external services selected by the user.
The core locally stored information such as favorites and cart selections does not require an app-operated online account.
9. THIRD-PARTY IMAGE CONTENT
The App may display artwork and woodworking imagery provided through Unsplash.
When an image is loaded, your device communicates directly with the external image service to retrieve that content.
THE WOODEN LADDER LLC does not control the independent privacy practices of third-party services.
Users should review the applicable privacy practices of those services for information about how they handle data.
10. THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES
The App may interact with applications or services installed on your device, including an email application.
When you leave the App or use a third-party service, that service may handle information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Third-party services operate independently from THE WOODEN LADDER LLC.
11. ANALYTICS AND ADVERTISING
The current version of the App is not designed to use an app-operated analytics system to profile users.
The App is also not designed to display third-party advertising.
If analytics, advertising or other data-processing technologies are introduced in a future version, this Privacy Policy and applicable disclosures should be updated before or when those features become active.
12. LOCATION INFORMATION
The current version of the App does not require precise or background device location for its core gallery functionality.
The App does not provide a built-in map-search feature.
Studio or location details may be requested directly by email when necessary.
13. DEVICE PERMISSIONS
The App should only request Android permissions that are necessary for its available functionality.
The App does not require access to contacts, SMS messages, call logs, microphone or camera for its core wood-gallery features.
If future features require additional device permissions, users will receive the applicable Android permission request where required.
14. DATA SHARING
We do not sell personal information collected through the App.
Locally stored favorites, cart information and App preferences are not intentionally transmitted by us to advertisers or data brokers.
Information may leave the App when:
- You voluntarily send an email
- Your device retrieves externally hosted images
- You intentionally use a third-party service or application
Information handled by those third-party services is subject to their own policies.
15. DATA RETENTION

- Remove or change the information within the App where an option is available

16. DELETING YOUR INFORMATION

If you previously sent information to us by email and would like to request deletion of information retained by THE WOODEN LADDER LLC, contact:
Please provide enough information for us to reasonably identify the communication involved.
17. DATA SECURITY
We aim to limit the amount of information processed by the App and keep local App information on the user's device where practical.
However, no electronic storage system, device or method of electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate security for their own devices and email accounts.
18. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
THE WOODEN LADDER LLC is a general wood-art, design and gallery application and is not specifically designed or directed toward children.
We do not knowingly use the App to request personal information from children.
If you believe a child has sent personal information to us through an email inquiry, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.
19. INTERNATIONAL USERS
Users may access the App from different countries and regions.
Privacy and data-protection rights may vary depending on where you live.
