Save Our Seas iPhone App

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 August 2026

What we collect

Nothing. The app makes no network requests of any kind. We have no servers receiving your information, no way to identify you, and no way to see anything you record in the app.

What the app stores on your device

The app saves what you enter so it's still there next time you open it. This is kept in the app's own private storage on your iPhone and never leaves it:

• Plastic tracker — the counts and dates of single-use items you've avoided.
• Your action list — the actions you add, any notes, and whether you've ticked them off.
• Beach clean logs — the place, date, number of bags, volunteer counts and notes you record.
• Photos you choose to add — a copy is saved inside the app's own storage.
• Your settings — such as whether you've turned the daily reminder on.

Photos

When you add a photo, iOS shows you its own photo picker and passes the app only the single image you select. The app is never given access to your photo library — it cannot browse, read or upload your other photos. The image you pick is copied into the app's private storage, and deleting the entry deletes the copy.

Notifications

The daily reminder is optional and off unless you turn it on. It is scheduled by iOS on your device at the time you choose. It is not a push notification — nothing is sent from a server, and we are not told whether you have it enabled.

The websites inside the app

The Websites tab shows copies of our English, French and Group sites that are built into the app itself. They are loaded from the app's own files, so they work with no internet connection and make no requests to us or to anyone else while you read them.

Sharing and third parties

We do not share, sell or transfer your information, because we never receive any. The app contains no advertising, no tracking technologies, and no third-party analytics or software development kits.

Deleting your data

You can delete individual entries at any time inside the app. Deleting the app from your iPhone removes everything it has stored, including any photos you added. As we hold no copy of any of it, there is nothing for you to request from us and nothing for us to delete on your behalf.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages. Because it collects no data whatsoever, it does not knowingly or unknowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

If the app ever changes in a way that affects this policy, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If a future version were ever to collect anything, we would say so here clearly and ask your permission in the app first.

Contact

If you have any questions about this policy or the app, email us at info@saveourseas.org.uk.

This policy covers the Save Our Seas iPhone app. The app requires iOS 17 or newer.
