Privacy Policy

Abyss Log — A Gentleman's Angling Journal
Last updated: 14 August 2026

I. Introduction

This Privacy Policy governs the use of Abyss Log ("the Application"), a mobile application developed solely for the purpose of recording angling activities, catch data, and personal notes. The Application is provided free of charge and is intended for use as an offline utility.

By using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. The language of this policy is English (British spelling), reflecting the spirit of the Application's design.

II. Information Collection and Use

The developer of Abyss Log, osiscatatan@gmail.com, does not collect, transmit, store, or process any personal data on remote servers.

All data you enter into the Application — including, but not limited to, catch records, photographs, audio recordings, location coordinates, equipment notes, and personal remarks — is stored exclusively on your device. This data never leaves your handset unless you explicitly choose to export it (e.g., sharing a record via your device's native share sheet).

III. Location Data

Abyss Log may request access to your device's location services solely to record the geographical coordinates of your fishing marks. This information is:

You may deny location permissions without affecting the core functionality of the Application.

IV. Audio and Camera Permissions

The Application may request access to your microphone and camera for the following purposes:

All audio and image files are stored locally. No media is uploaded, analysed by third-party services, or used for any purpose beyond your personal journal.

V. Log Data

In the event of an application error, the Application may collect anonymous crash log data through your device's operating system. This data is handled by the platform provider (e.g., Google Play Console) and is not accessible to the developer unless you voluntarily submit a crash report. The developer does not use third-party analytics SDKs (such as Google Analytics, Firebase, or Facebook SDK) within the Application.

VI. Cookies and Tracking

The Application does not use cookies, web beacons, or any form of user tracking. Since the Application operates entirely offline, no browsing data is collected.

VII. Third-Party Services

Abyss Log does not integrate any third-party advertising networks, analytics platforms, or software development kits (SDKs) that collect user data. The Application is entirely self-contained.

VIII. Children's Privacy

The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. The developer does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided personal information, please contact the developer at osiscatatan@gmail.com so that the necessary steps can be taken to remove such information.

IX. Data Security

Since all data resides solely on your device, the security of your data depends on your device's own security measures (e.g., screen lock, encryption). The developer recommends enabling device encryption and maintaining regular backups of your Application data where supported by your operating system.

X. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Users are encouraged to review this page periodically for any changes. Modifications are effective immediately upon being posted on this page.
