Broodrow (“the App”) is a hive inspection log for Android. This policy describes how the App handles information.
No account
The App does not require registration or sign-in. It does not create user accounts.
Data stored on your device
Hive names, apiary names, inspection settings, inspection records (queen, eggs, frames of bees, stores, temper, mite counts, actions, honey weight) and notes you enter are stored only in the App’s private storage on your device. The App does not upload this content to PocketFoundry or any other server.
CSV export
If you choose to export a CSV file, the App creates the file on your device and opens the Android share sheet. The file goes only to the app or person you pick. PocketFoundry does not receive a copy.
Permissions
Notification permission is optional and used only for the inspection reminders you turn on. You can deny it and still use every logging feature. The App does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, or photo access. Network access is used only by Google Play Billing for the optional purchase.
Purchases
An optional one-time purchase raises the hive limit and enables CSV export. Payment is handled by Google Play. PocketFoundry does not receive your payment card details. The App asks Google Play only whether this purchase is owned so it can restore it.
Analytics and ads
The App contains no advertising, no advertising ID use, and no third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
Data sharing
The App does not sell, share, or transfer personal data to third parties.
Children
The App is not directed to children under 13.
Retention and deletion
Your records remain until you delete them in the App or uninstall the App. Uninstalling removes the App’s data from the device. The App turns off Android backup for its data, so records are not copied to cloud backups.
Not professional advice
Broodrow is a notebook. It does not diagnose bee diseases or recommend treatments. Follow local beekeeping guidance and product labels.
Changes
If these practices change, this page will be updated and the effective date revised.
