Check It — Privacy Policy

App: Check It (by Tetracta) · Android · Effective date: 28 June 2026

Short version: Check It's core runs on your phone — it listens, learns the machine's normal and tracks changes locally, with no ads, no tracking, no analytics and no account. The app has one optional online feature: the Oney AI advisor (PRO). Only if you turn it on and give explicit consent, your question, a short measurement summary and any photo you attach are sent over the internet to our server and a third-party cloud AI provider, and stored on our server as a safety and legal record. Everything else stays on your phone.

1. Who we are

Check It is developed by Tetracta. Contact: [email protected] · tetracta.ai.

2. What the app does

Check It listens to a machine through your phone's microphone and motion sensor to help you notice when its sound or vibration changes over time. The core change-tracking engine and all on-device tools run locally on your device and provide hints, not a diagnosis. The app also includes Oney, an optional AI maintenance advisor (a paid PRO feature) that is online and described in Section 4.

3. The on-device core: no data collected

For everything except the optional Oney AI feature, we do not collect, transmit, sell, or share any data. Specifically, the core:

4. Oney AI assistant (optional, PRO) — what is sent and stored

Oney is off unless you choose it. It is a paid PRO feature behind an explicit, two-step consent screen. If you never enable Oney, nothing in this section applies and your data never leaves your phone.

When you enable Oney and use it, to generate an answer the app sends, over the internet:

Oney gives hints, not a certified diagnosis; safety and qualified experts always come first. It will decline anything unsafe or unlawful.

5. Permissions and why they are used

PermissionWhyLeaves the device?
Microphone (record audio)To listen to the machine's sound. Required for the core function.No — analyzed/stored locally only.
Internet · Network stateUsed only by the optional Oney AI advisor, to send your question to the cloud AI provider. The on-device core does not use the network.Only via Oney — and only when you enable it and consent (see Section 4).
Motion & temperature sensorsAccelerometer for vibration; ambient temperature if present. Read locally.No
VibrateTo briefly buzz the phone so the accelerometer activates before a measurement.
Location (optional, off by default)Only if you turn on location logging for a machine, to tag a measurement's coordinates. You control this per machine.No — kept on your phone; can be deleted anytime.

The app requests the Internet permission solely for the optional Oney AI assistant; with Oney unused, the app makes no network connection of its own.

6. Where your data lives & your control

Machines, history, notes, saved sounds and any recordings are stored locally in the app's private storage on your device. You are in full control of your local data:

If you used Oney, the records described in Section 4 are held on our server; you can request access or deletion of those at [email protected]. Apart from Oney, nothing is sent to us, so there is nothing on our side to request, correct, or delete.

7. Sharing features you control

If you use a share feature (e.g. the health card or a report), Android's standard share sheet lets you choose where to send it (mail, messaging, etc.). That action, and where it goes, is entirely your choice and handled by the apps you pick — not by us.

8. Links that open your browser

Some buttons (user guide, contact, "check for updates") hand off to a web page in your own browser. For those buttons the app makes no network connection of its own; your browser does, subject to its own privacy terms. (The one place the app itself uses the network is the Oney AI feature, described in Section 4.)

9. Children

Check It is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. The on-device core collects no data; the optional Oney AI is a paid feature behind a consent screen.

10. Legal basis & regions

For the on-device core, we process no personal data, so GDPR (EU), KVKK (Türkiye) and similar regimes impose minimal obligations; we nonetheless follow their principles of data minimization and on-device processing. Machine sound/vibration is not personal data.

For the optional Oney AI feature, the legal basis is your explicit consent. Using Oney involves transferring the content you send to a third-party cloud AI provider — currently Anthropic, PBC (United States) — which processes it internationally (in the United States). We may change or add providers; we will keep this policy updated. You have the right to access, correct or delete the Oney records we hold; contact [email protected].

11. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. Material changes will be reflected in the app's release notes.
