Privacy Policy
CAPN LOG APPEffective date: July 22, 2026
Capn Log ("Capn Log", "the app", "we", or "us") is a personal fishing
logbook. This policy describes, in plain terms, what information is and is
not involved when you use the app. Installing or using Capn Log means you
accept the practices set out here.
AT A GLANCE
Capn Log works offline and keeps your logbook on your own device. It has no
sign-up, no login, and never asks for your name, email, phone number, or any
other detail that identifies you personally. The only information that leaves
your device is a small amount of technical/analytics data tied to a device
identifier, described below.
1. WHAT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Everything you create in Capn Log — logged catches, named spots, notes,
unlocked atlas species, earned awards, bookmarked tips, and your settings —
is written to local storage on your device only. This content is never
uploaded to us and is not visible to us. Clearing the app's data or
uninstalling the app permanently removes it.
2. WHAT WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY
Capn Log does not gather any information that you type or that names you as
an individual. While the app runs, a limited set of technical data may be
collected through your device, namely:
• Device identifiers, including your device's Advertising ID and comparable
app/device identifiers.
• General diagnostic and usage signals such as app version, device model,
operating-system version, and aggregate interaction events.
These identifiers are handled ephemerally: they are used only in the moment,
for the purposes in Section 3, and are not combined into any lasting profile
of you.
3. WHY THIS DATA IS USED
The limited technical data above is used solely to:
a. keep the app's features running correctly;
b. measure overall stability and usage in aggregate (analytics), so issues
can be found and the app improved;
c. guard against abuse and technical faults.
Capn Log does not show ads, does not use your data for personalized
advertising, and does not sell your data to anyone.
4. WHO ELSE MAY PROCESS IT
We do not sell or trade your information. A small amount of
technical/analytics data may be processed by trusted service providers (for
example, an analytics or attribution provider) strictly to deliver the
purposes in Section 3 on our behalf. They may use it only for that job. We
may also disclose information where the law or a valid legal request requires
it.
5. THE ADVERTISING ID
The app may read your device's Advertising ID for analytics and app
functionality. You remain in control of it at any time:
• Android: Settings › Privacy › Ads (or Settings › Google › Ads) lets you
reset the Advertising ID or delete it.
Changing or removing the Advertising ID does not stop Capn Log from working.
6. HOW LONG IT IS KEPT
Any technical/analytics data associated with your device is retained only as
long as needed for the purposes here and is automatically deleted within
90 days. Your logbook content, which lives on your device, remains there
until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app.
7. KEEPING IT SAFE
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to the small
amount of data involved. No transmission or storage method is ever perfectly
secure, so absolute security cannot be promised.
8. CHILDREN
Capn Log is made for a general, adult audience and is not directed to
children under 13 (or the minimum age required where you live). We do not
knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you think a child has used
the app in a way that involved their information, use the contact route in
Section 11 so it can be addressed.
9. YOUR CONTROLS
Because Capn Log does not hold information that identifies you, and because
your logbook stays on your device, the most meaningful controls are already
in your hands:
• reset or limit the Advertising ID in your device settings (Section 5);
• clear the app's data or uninstall it to erase your logbook.
Depending on your region, you may also have rights to access, correct, or
delete personal data; given the above, these are exercised directly through
the controls named here.
10. USERS AROUND THE WORLD
Capn Log may be used anywhere. Where limited technical data is processed, it
may be handled in a country other than yours. By using the app you understand
that such processing may take place consistent with this policy.
11. CONTACT
Questions about this policy can be sent through the app's page on the Google
Play Store, using the contact option shown on that listing.
12. UPDATES
This policy may change over time. When it does, the "Effective date" above
will be updated, and continued use of Capn Log after that means you accept
the revised policy.
