Privacy policy
Last updated: [TODO — date]
[PLACEHOLDER — this policy is not final and will be revised before the app launches publicly.]
1. Who we are
[TODO — name of the developer operating uk.co.tidesapp and tidesapp.co.uk.] The contact email for privacy questions is [TODO — contact email].
2. What we collect
The app is offline: it makes no network connections and has no account system. The only personal data it handles is your location, which the app uses solely to find the nearest tide station to you. Location is used [TODO — confirm: only while you have the app open / when you tap “find nearest”].
The app also stores your settings (chosen station, display preferences) as app data on your device.
3. What we do not collect
We collect no analytics, no advertising data, and no usage statistics, and the app contains no third-party tracking. The app does not request the internet permission, so it is technically unable to send any data to us or to anyone else.
4. Where data is stored and for how long
All data stays on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes it. [TODO — confirm wording: app data may be included in your standard Android/Google device backup unless you exclude it.]
5. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access or erase any personal data we hold about you. Since the app keeps data on your device only, erasing it is simply a matter of uninstalling the app. You can also contact us at [TODO — contact email] to exercise any of your rights.
6. Children
The app is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted here with an updated date.
