Users should protect backup files in the same manner they would protect their original PartForge data.

CSV exports are created only when requested by the user.
Once an exported file leaves PartForge through the iOS sharing system, storage and handling of that file is controlled by the user and the destination selected by the user.
PartForge does not operate a developer-controlled account or server containing user inventory.
Application data remains under the user’s control through their device, application backups, exported files, and applicable Apple iCloud services.
PartForge includes data-management functionality for removing application data.
PartForge is a general-purpose workshop inventory and project-management utility.
PartForge does not knowingly collect personal information from children through a developer-operated service.
PartForge relies on Apple’s iOS, application sandboxing, and iCloud / CloudKit security architecture for applicable device and cloud protections.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their device, Apple account, exported files, and backups.
