Privacy Policy - Surf Log

Last updated: January 2025

What information we collect

Session Data

Surf Log collects and stores surf session information that you manually input, including session date, location, wave conditions, board used, session duration, and personal notes. All session data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

Location Information

When you add location information to your surf sessions, this data is stored locally on your device. Surf Log may use location services to suggest nearby surf spots, but location data is not collected or transmitted without your explicit input.

Personal Preferences

The app stores your personal preferences such as preferred units of measurement, favorite surf spots, and board collection. This information is stored locally and used to enhance your logging experience.

How we use the information we collect

Session Tracking

Your session data is used exclusively to:

  • Display your surf session history and statistics
  • Generate progress reports and insights
  • Provide personalized recommendations
  • Enable session comparison and analysis

App Improvement

We may collect anonymous usage analytics to understand how users interact with Surf Log and improve the app experience. This data does not include personal session details or identifiable information.

How we share the information we collect

Session and Personal Data

We do NOT share, transmit, or store your session data or personal information on external servers. All sensitive data remains on your device and under your control.

Anonymous Analytics

Only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics may be shared with third-party analytics services to help us improve the app. This data cannot be used to identify individual users or their surf sessions.

Data Export and Backup

Surf Log provides options to export your session data for backup purposes or to transfer to other devices. Any data export is initiated and controlled by you, and exported data remains under your ownership and control.

Third-Party Services

Surf Log may use the following third-party services for analytics and crash reporting:

Data Retention and Deletion

All surf session data is stored locally on your device. You can delete individual sessions, clear all data, or export your data at any time through the app settings. Uninstalling the app will permanently remove all stored data unless you have created a backup.

Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data. Since session data is stored locally on your device, it benefits from iOS security features including device encryption, secure storage, and biometric protection if enabled on your device.

Children's Privacy

Surf Log does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us to have the information removed.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any changes through app updates or notifications. Your continued use of Surf Log following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
