Privacy policy
Your data stays on your phone.
The short version
Szüret has no accounts, no server of its own, no analytics and no advertising. Everything you create in the app — saved spots, notes, photos, favourites and settings — is stored only on your device. We, the developer, never receive any of it.
What the app stores on your device
- Your region, chosen on first launch, used to time the seasons.
- Saved spots: the species, coordinates, date, your note and an optional photo you choose.
- Favourites and settings, such as Field mode and season notifications.
- Offline map tiles for any region you download.
This data lives in the app's private storage. It is not synced or backed up by Szüret. You can export it or delete all of it at any time from More → Privacy hub. Uninstalling the app also removes it.
Permissions
- Location (while using the app)
- Used only to center the map and show your position while you place a spot marker. It is never recorded in the background, never uploaded and never shared. You can decline and place spots by tapping the map instead.
- Photos
- Only if you choose to attach a photo to a spot. The picture stays on your device.
- Notifications
- Optional season reminders for species you've starred. They are scheduled locally on your phone; nothing is sent to any server.
Network requests
To show the map, the app downloads map tiles from OpenStreetMap's tile servers
(tile.openstreetmap.org). Like any web request, this reveals your IP address and the map area being
loaded to OpenStreetMap, which handles it under the
OSM Foundation privacy policy.
No identifier, account or spot data is sent with these requests. Downloaded offline regions need no network at all.
Species content, photos and the seasonal almanac ship inside the app and are not fetched from the internet.
What we don't do
- No analytics, crash-reporting, advertising or tracking SDKs.
- No selling, sharing or transferring of personal data — we never have it.
- No in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Children
Szüret doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
