Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

HuntingPlanner ("the app") is published by Muhammet İkbal Yaşar ("we"). This policy explains what the app collects, why, and the choices you have. Contact: ikbalyasar@gmail.com.

1. The short version

• Your waypoints, tracks, measurements, plans and photos are stored on your device. If you sign in, they are also backed up to your private account area that only you can access.
• Your exact location is never shared with other people unless you explicitly share a waypoint with a group you belong to. Public posts never contain exact coordinates.
• Photo location metadata (EXIF/GPS) is removed before any photo is stored or uploaded.
• We do not sell personal data and do not use it for third-party advertising. The app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

2. Data we process

Data	Purpose	Where
Location (when in use; in the background only while you record a track)	Show you on the map, place waypoints, record tracks, local weather	On device. Synced only as part of your own waypoints/tracks if signed in
Account (Sign in with Apple: name, email or Apple private relay email, user ID)	Groups, community, backup	Firebase Authentication
Profile (display name, optional username/bio/avatar)	Shown to members of your groups and, if you choose, to the community	Cloud Firestore / Cloud Storage
Content you create (group messages, posts, comments, shared waypoints, photos, events)	Delivering the features you use	Cloud Firestore / Cloud Storage, visible only to the audience you choose
Reports and blocks	Safety and moderation	Cloud Firestore (not visible to the reported person)
Push token, notification preferences	Group notifications and service announcements	Firebase Cloud Messaging, PushToAll (pushtoall.com)
Purchases (subscription status, product, anonymous app user ID)	Unlocking Pro	Apple, Adapty
Usage analytics (screens, feature use in coarse buckets) and crash reports	Fixing bugs and improving the app — never with coordinates, messages or invite codes	Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics
Weather requests (approximate location)	Field conditions	Apple WeatherKit
Map tiles (map area requested)	Displaying and downloading maps	USGS The National Map

3. Public community content

Public posts are reviewed automatically (text filter and image safety check) before they appear. You can choose to show only an approximate region (a US state) — never exact coordinates. You can delete your posts at any time.

4. Your choices and rights

• Delete your account in the app: Profile → Delete My Account. This deletes your profile, synced data, posts, comments, group memberships and uploaded photos. Groups you own are transferred to an admin or deleted.
• Export your data: Profile → Export My Data (GPX, GeoJSON, CSV).
• Turn off location, notifications or photo access in iOS Settings at any time; the app keeps working with reduced features.
• Residents of California and other US states with privacy laws, and of the EU/UK, may request access, correction or deletion by emailing us. We respond within 30 days.

5. Retention

Account data is kept until you delete your account. Reports and moderation records are kept up to 2 years for safety and legal reasons, without your exact location. Crash and analytics data follow Google Firebase retention (up to 14 months).

6. Children

The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

7. Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest by our providers. Access is restricted by security rules so that private data is readable only by you and group data only by active group members.

8. Changes

We will post updates here and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
