Privacy
Hangster · last updated 17 August 2026
Hangster has no accounts and no database. We don't know who you are, and we've built it so that we can't find out.
Most privacy policies are long because the company collects a lot and has to describe it. This one is short for the opposite reason. Everything below is a description of how the app actually works, not a statement of intent.
What stays on your phone
Your frames — their photos, their measurements, where the hanger sits — are stored on your device and nowhere else. So are your arrangements. We have no copy. If you delete the app, they're gone; if you lose the phone, they're gone with it. That's the trade for not holding them ourselves, and it's deliberate.
What briefly reaches our server
Two features need a server, because a phone can't do them consistently:
- Squaring up a photo. A frame photographed at an angle is corrected into a true rectangle. The photo is sent, corrected, returned, and deleted immediately. It is never written to a database, never linked to you, and never kept.
- Building the AR preview. Your arrangement — the sizes, positions and thumbnails — becomes a 3D file so you can see it on your wall at true size. That file is parked briefly at a web address made of 32 random characters, so it can open in your phone's AR viewer, and is deleted after ten minutes. The address is unguessable and is never listed anywhere.
Everything else in Hangster works with no connection at all — documenting frames, arranging them, and printing the template.
What we record
- Request counts, without you. Our server writes one line per request: what was asked for, whether it worked, and how long it took. The caller's IP address and all request headers are deleted before the line is written. This is how we notice a fault or someone attacking the server. It cannot tell us who was there.
- Crash reports, if the app breaks. Three fields: the app version, the platform, and the error itself. The server ignores anything else the app might send, so nothing about you can be swept in by accident.
What we don't do
- No accounts, no email addresses, no passwords.
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no profiles.
- No third-party services receiving anything about you. Crash reports go to our own server, not to an outside company.
- Nothing is sold, shared or handed on. There is nothing to sell.
Where it runs
On a single server we rent in Falkenstein, Germany, inside the EU. Traffic to it is encrypted (HTTPS). The frames-and-arrangements data never goes there in the first place, so there is no database to breach.
Children
Hangster isn't directed at children and collects nothing from anyone, whatever their age.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask what personal data we hold about you, and ask for it to be deleted. Our honest answer is that we hold none: with no account and no identifiers, we have no way of connecting anything on our server to a person. You can delete everything Hangster holds about you at any time by deleting the app — that's not a formality, it's genuinely all of it.
Changes
If this ever changes — for example if we add optional accounts so purchases can carry across devices — this page will be updated before the change ships, and the date at the top will say when. Anything that stores more than today will be something you opt into, not something that happens to you.
