Privacy Policy – Nudibranch App
Effective Date: June 2025
App Name: Nudibranch (Sea Slug Identification & Logbook)
Thank you for using the Nudibranch app, a tool designed to help divers, tidepoolers, and marine enthusiasts identify and learn about nudibranchs and other sea slugs found along the California coast. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This document outlines what data the app does or does not collect, how it is handled, and how you can reach us for support.
Data Collection and Use
We believe in data minimalism. This app is built to function entirely on-device. We do not:
Collect or transmit any personal data
Access your contacts, location, camera, or microphone
Use analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs
Store your information in the cloud
Require login or account creation
All data, such as your logged sightings or quiz results, are stored locally on your device and never leave it.
App Functionality and Offline Use
The Nudibranch app is designed to work without internet access. All identification filters, species images, educational content, and games are preloaded and available offline. This ensures your personal usage remains private and that the app can be used in remote field conditions, such as dive boats or intertidal zones.
Third-Party Services
We do not integrate any third-party services that collect or analyze your data. This includes (but is not limited to):
Google Analytics
Firebase
Ad networks
Cloud backups
The app is self-contained and does not share any user data with outside services.
