Maker Insights for iPhone and iPad

Privacy policy

Last updated November 10, 2026

Maker Insights is made by Decodr.tech. This policy explains what the iPhone and iPad app does with your data. The short version: there is no account, no sign-in, no advertising and no tracking; the app reads public creator data straight from the site where your models are published, and keeps your history on your device; it sends Decodr.tech only anonymous usage counts and, for the daily refresh and Product news, the push token of your device; each one has its own switch.

The data the app reads

You enter a link to one of your models or your public creator name. To show your gains, the app asks the MakerWorld website, from your device, for the public data of that creator: the list of published models with their public counts (likes, downloads, prints, comments, collections, boosts), their titles and cover images, and the number of followers. This is the same information anyone can see on your public profile. The app never asks for your MakerWorld password and never reads points, earnings or anything private.

These requests go from your device to that website directly. Decodr.tech is not in between and never receives them. Like any website, MakerWorld receives the IP address of the request, under its own privacy policy. Maker Insights is an independent app, not affiliated with or endorsed by Bambu Lab or MakerWorld.

What stays on your device

Your creator profiles, the snapshots of the counts the app takes at each refresh (your history and charts), your alert settings, the notification history and your settings (language, appearance) are stored on your iPhone or iPad, in the app's own storage shared with its widgets (App Group). Nothing of it is sent to Decodr.tech. A CSV export (Maker Insights Pro) is a file you share yourself with the system share sheet. Deleting the app deletes all of it.

iCloud sync

If iCloud sync is on (Settings, on by default), your history, profiles and model alerts are stored in your own private iCloud database, under your Apple Account, so they come back after a reinstall and on your other iPhone or iPad. Decodr.tech cannot read them. Apple stores them under the Apple privacy policy. Turning iCloud sync off stops it; you can also remove the data in the iCloud settings of your devices.

Points rates

To estimate points, the app downloads a public file of points rates from a Decodr.tech server. Nothing is sent with this request: no creator, no model and no count. Like any web request, the server sees the IP address of the request and does not keep it.

Lock with Face ID (optional)

If you turn on "Lock with Face ID" in Settings, the app asks iOS to confirm it is you each time it opens. Face ID (or Touch ID, or your passcode) is handled entirely by iOS: Maker Insights never receives your face or fingerprint data, only a yes or no, and nothing about it is sent anywhere.

Alerts, widgets and history

The alerts (a model taking off, model and follower milestones) are local notifications created on your device after a refresh: your counts and alerts are never sent to Decodr.tech. The widgets read the counts stored on your device and never connect to anything. The notification history is kept on your device only, and you can clear it.

Daily refresh

So that your history and alerts stay up to date even when you do not open the app, "Daily refresh" in Settings (Privacy) keeps the push notification token of your device on a Decodr.tech server, with the app version, the notification environment (production or test) and your time zone offset from UTC. The server uses them only to send one silent wake-up a day, which lets the app refresh your counts on your device. It sends nothing else and receives nothing about your profile, your models or your numbers. It is on by default; turning it off deletes the token from the server.

Product news (optional)

Maker Insights can tell you when a new version of the app comes out. This is off until you say yes, on the card in the app or with "Product news" in Settings. While it is on, the app sends a Decodr.tech server the push notification token of your device, the app name, the platform (iPhone or iPad), your language and the app version, so that the notice reaches you in your language. It never sends a creator, a model or a count. The token is only used by Apple's notification service to reach the app: it is not linked to your name, your e-mail or your profile. It is removed from our server when you turn the switch off, or after 180 days without opening the app. The notices you received are listed in the notification history, with your alerts, and you can clear them at any time.

Anonymous usage counts

To know which features are used and to improve the app, Maker Insights sends anonymous counters to a Decodr.tech server. Each one is made only of: the name of an action (for example the app opened, a profile added, a refresh done, a model opened, an alert turned on, the demo opened, the Pro screen shown, a purchase or a restore), the app version, the platform and the day. The country is derived from your network connection by our server and the address is dropped. The full list of events is available on request at support@decodr.tech.

Counts never contain a creator name, a model, a count or any content, and are never linked to you or to a device. There is no tracking across apps. You can switch them off at any time with "Share anonymous usage counts" in Settings; it is on by default. When it is off, nothing is sent.

What is never collected

No account, no e-mail address, no password, no location data, no contacts, no photos, no crash reports, no advertising identifier, no tracking, no device identifier other than the push token described above for the daily refresh and Product news (each with its own switch). Your creator profile, your models and your history never reach Decodr.tech (with iCloud sync they go to your own iCloud, which Decodr.tech cannot read). On the App Store, the data types declared are Usage Data (product interaction) and Coarse Location (the country) for the anonymous counts, Identifiers (the push token) for the daily refresh and Product news, and Purchase history for Maker Insights Pro. None is linked to your identity and none is used for tracking.

Purchases

Maker Insights Pro is a one-time purchase handled by Apple under the Apple privacy policy, shared with your family through Family Sharing. Decodr.tech never sees your payment details. The app checks the purchase on your device with StoreKit.

For each sale, Apple sends Decodr.tech a server notification. One line is kept per notification (time, type, product, amount, storefront), with nothing that identifies you, and it is used only to count sales.

Children

Maker Insights is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page with a new date.
