🌲 Numbies

1. Introduction

Numbies ("we", "our", or "the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data in our tree planting operations management application.

2. Data Collection - What We DON'T Collect

We do not collect any personal information or usage data. Specifically, we do not collect:

• Personal identification information (names, email addresses, phone numbers)
• Device information or unique identifiers
• Usage statistics or analytics
• Crash reports or error logs
• Any data about how you use the App
• Any information about crew members you enter into the App
• Any tree planting data, reports, or statistics
• Photos, videos, camera frames, or QR scanner images

If you choose to use the optional GPS feature for quality plots, the App can capture GPS coordinates on your device. This location data is created and stored locally under your control; it is not collected by Numbies, transmitted to Numbies servers, used for background tracking, analytics, or advertising.

3. Local Data Storage

All data you create in the App is stored locally on your device using React Native AsyncStorage. This includes:

• Crew member names and statistics
• Block information and seedlot configurations
• Daily planting reports and tree counts
• Box tracking data
• App settings and preferences
• Historical statistics and charts
• Optional GPS coordinates for quality plots when you choose to capture them
• Truck setup and QR/file transfer data you create or import

This data never leaves your device through Numbies servers. It leaves your device only when you explicitly choose to export, back up, share, display a QR code, create a KML map file, or send a file through your device's sharing tools.

4. Location Permission and GPS Coordinates

Location permission is optional and is used only for GPS coordinates on quality plots. The App requests location access only when you choose to capture GPS for a plot. If permission is granted and a location is available, the App may store the plot's latitude, longitude, accuracy, and capture time with that quality plot.

Numbies does not continuously track your location, request background location, build location histories outside the plot records you create, or send location data to Numbies servers. If you deny location permission, GPS capture will not work, but the rest of the App remains available.

5. How Your Data Is Used

Your data is used solely for the App's functionality on your device:

• Tracking daily tree planting activities
• Calculating crew member earnings and statistics
• Generating PDF and Excel reports
• Capturing optional GPS coordinates for quality plots when you request it
• Generating KML map exports from GPS-tagged quality plots
• Creating charts and visualizations
• Managing block and seedlot information
• Tracking box usage for overclaim analysis
• Sharing day setups or truck entries between devices when you choose to use QR codes or files

Since all processing happens locally on your device, your data is never transmitted to our servers or third parties by the App. When you choose to share an export file, report, backup, KML file, or QR code, that information is shared only through the method you select.

6. Data Sharing

We do not share your data with anyone. There are no third-party analytics services, advertising networks, or data processors involved. The App operates completely offline and does not require an internet connection (except for optional features like accessing the feedback form or these legal pages).

The App includes optional QR code and file-sharing tools so crew leads and truck drivers can transfer day setups and planter entries between their own devices. These transfers happen only when you choose to show, scan, export, import, or share that data. Reports, backups, KML files, QR codes, and transfer files may include GPS coordinates if you captured them for quality plots. Anyone who can scan a QR code you display, or access a file you share, may be able to read the app data contained in it, so you should share QR codes and files only with people you trust.

7. Data Export and Backup

The App provides a backup feature that allows you to export your data to a JSON file stored in your device's Downloads folder. This backup file:

• Is created only when you explicitly choose to back up your data
• Remains on your device unless you manually share or transfer it
• Is not automatically uploaded to any cloud service
• Can be used to restore your data if you reinstall the App

Backup files may include quality plot GPS coordinates if you captured them. If you choose to share backup files via email, cloud storage, or other means, you are responsible for the security and privacy of that data.

8. PDF, Excel, and KML Reports

When you generate PDF, Excel, or KML reports, these files are created locally on your device. KML map files and some report/export formats may include GPS coordinates for quality plots when those coordinates exist. If you choose to share these files using the built-in share functionality, they are sent through your device's standard sharing mechanism. We do not have access to or control over how you share these reports.

9. QR Codes, Camera Access, Location Access, and File Transfers

The App may request camera access so you can scan QR codes generated by Numbies on another device. Camera access is used only for QR code scanning.

• The camera feed is processed on your device for the purpose of detecting and reading QR codes
• The App does not take photos or record videos
• The App does not store camera images, video, or scanner frames
• Camera data is not sent to Numbies, our servers, or third-party analytics services
• You can deny camera permission, but QR scanning will not work unless the permission is granted

The App may request location access so you can capture GPS coordinates for quality plots. Location access is used only when you choose to capture GPS. The App does not use background location, continuously monitor your location, or send location data to Numbies servers or third-party analytics services.

QR codes and transfer files may contain day setup information, block and seedlot information, crew member names, planter entries, tree counts, optional quality plot GPS coordinates, and related report data. This data is created, scanned, imported, and stored locally on the devices involved in the transfer.

10. Internet Permissions

The App may request internet access for the following optional features only:

• Opening the feedback form in your web browser
• Accessing these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages

No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers through these connections.

11. Data Security

Since all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your data depends on your device's security measures. We recommend:

• Using a secure lock screen on your device
• Keeping your device's operating system updated
• Regularly backing up your data
• Being cautious when sharing backup files, reports, KML files, QR codes, or transfer files, especially when they include GPS coordinates

12. Data Retention and Deletion

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete individual reports: Deleted reports are moved to a Recycling Bin where they can be restored or permanently deleted
• Archive crew members: Crew members can be archived to hide them from active lists while preserving historical data
• Delete all data: The "Delete All Data" option in Settings permanently removes all information from the App
• Uninstall the App: Uninstalling the App will delete all locally stored data (unless you have created backups in your Downloads folder)

GPS coordinates stored with quality plots are retained and deleted with the reports, backups, or files that contain those plots.

13. Children's Privacy

The App is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we don't collect any data at all, this policy applies universally to all users regardless of age.

14. Your Rights

Because all data is stored locally on your device and we do not collect or transmit any information, you automatically have:

• Full ownership: You own all data you create in the App
• Complete access: All your data is always accessible within the App
• Export rights: You can export your data at any time using the backup feature
• Deletion rights: You can delete any or all data at any time
• Portability: Backup files are in JSON format and can be used outside the App

15. Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media services. The only external links are:

• The feedback form (Google Forms) - optional, user-initiated
• These legal documents (GitHub Pages) - optional, user-initiated

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

Since we don't collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
