Privacy Policy
Effective November 1, 2026
Rounds is an app for keeping track of a service route (lawn care, pool service, cleaning and the like) and who has paid. It is made by Davidrtx. This page explains what Rounds does with the information you put in it.
The short version
- Your houses and payments are stored on your phone, and in a backup or sync file only if you set one up.
- Rounds has no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
- Nothing you enter is sent to the developer, and nothing is sold.
- Your records leave your phone only when you choose: a backup, syncing with your own other devices, an export or report, an invoice or email you send, a shorter-route lookup, or a call, text or map you open.
What Rounds keeps on your phone
Rounds saves your records in its own private storage on your phone, where other apps can't read them:
- Houses: customer names, addresses, phone numbers, notes (like gate codes), route day and order, price, and how often you visit.
- Payments: amounts, how and when each house paid, notes, and check numbers and bank names when you enter or scan them.
- Reminders: the reminders you add (like fertilizing or winterizing), with their notes and dates.
- Settings: your theme and paid colors, route-day reminders, app lock, where automatic backups are saved, the file your devices sync through, bank names you've typed in for a check's routing number, your own details for invoices, and where your houses' addresses are on the map (for Find a shorter route).
Rounds doesn't read your location or contacts. It uses the camera only while a scanner (for a check or a paper) is open, and only opens files you pick yourself, like a backup to restore, a spreadsheet to import or the file to sync through.
Your customers' information
The names, addresses and phone numbers you add belong to your customers. Rounds keeps them on your phone and uses them only to show your route, to open a call, text or directions when you tap, to make an invoice you send, and to find a shorter route when you ask for one.
When information leaves your phone
Only when you do something that sends it:
- Backups: automatic backup and Back up now save a copy of your records to the place you pick, such as Google Drive or a folder on your phone. That copy is then kept by that service under its own privacy policy.
- Syncing across devices: if you turn on Sync across devices (Rounds Pro), Rounds keeps a copy of your records in one file you pick, such as in your Google Drive, and Rounds on your other phones, tablets or Chromebooks reads and updates that same file. It's your file, kept by that service under its own privacy policy; nothing goes to the developer. Turning syncing off on a device leaves the file where it is for your other devices.
- Exports and reports: a spreadsheet or year-end report you export goes wherever you save it, and to whoever you share it with.
- Calls, texts and directions: these open your phone, messaging or maps app with that house's number or address. Those apps follow their own privacy policies.
- Invoices: Send invoice puts a picture of the invoice in your phone's Messages app, addressed to that house's number. It goes only when you send it there. On a device without a phone line (like a Chromebook), Share invoice opens Android's share menu instead, and the picture goes only where you share it.
- Find a shorter route: to put a day's houses in a shorter order, Rounds looks up where each house's address (and the starting address you type) is on the map, using your phone's built-in address lookup, which Google provides on most Android phones. Only the addresses are looked up, never names, phone numbers or payments, and each one's spot is then kept on your phone, so it's looked up only once.
- Feedback: Send feedback opens your email app with a message to the developer that includes Rounds' version and your phone's model and Android version. Nothing is sent unless you send that email.
- Your phone's backup: if backup is turned on for your phone, Android may include Rounds' records in your phone's backup to your Google account.
Scanning checks and papers
Scanning a check uses your phone's camera inside Rounds, which asks for camera permission the first time. While the scanner is open, what the camera sees is read on your phone by Google's text reader from Google Play services, to find the check number, bank and amount. Each picture is dropped as soon as it's been read: Rounds keeps only what you save with the payment, and the pictures and the text read from them aren't sent anywhere.
To fill in the bank's name, Rounds uses the routing number printed along the bottom of the check, which identifies the bank, not you or your customer. If you type in a bank's name after a scan, Rounds remembers it for that routing number, on your phone only. Rounds never keeps the account number.
Scanning a paper, to add a house, works the same way: the page is read on your phone to fill in the house's name, address and phone. Its picture is kept in Rounds' private storage only until it's been read, then deleted, and it isn't sent anywhere.
To keep the text reader working, Google Play services may send Google basic technical details, such as your phone's model, Android version, app version and how well the text reader performed. Google explains this on its ML Kit data disclosure page.
App lock and reminders
The app lock uses Android's own fingerprint, face and PIN screen. Rounds never sees or stores your fingerprint, face or PIN.
Route-day reminders are set up on your phone. Nothing is sent to a server to make them work.
Purchases
If you buy Rounds Pro or anything else in Rounds, Google Play handles the payment. Rounds only gets confirmation of what you bought, and never sees your card or payment details. Google's privacy policy covers the payment itself.
Updates
Rounds from Google Play is updated through Google Play. Copies installed from GitHub instead check github.com for new versions. That check sends no records, only the usual details any web request includes, like your IP address, which GitHub handles under its privacy statement.
Deleting your information
You can delete houses and clear payments in the app. Uninstalling Rounds, or clearing its storage in your phone's settings, removes everything Rounds keeps on your phone. Backups, exports and the sync file you saved elsewhere stay there until you delete them. The developer never receives your records, so there is nothing to delete on the developer's side.
Children
Rounds is made for adults running a service route. It isn't directed at children under 13.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
