Privacy Policy

Tiermates · Last updated: April 7, 2026

Introduction

Tiermates ("Tiermates") is a private foraging field journal that does not identify species developed by Christian Pedersen. Your privacy is important to us, and this policy explains how we handle your information.

Data Collection

Tiermates performs no analytics, no network calls, and requires no account. Your find data, photos, and location coordinates are stored on-device via SwiftData. Optional iCloud sync uses Apple's CloudKit private database only — never a third-party server.

Local Data Storage

All data you create within the app (settings, preferences, and content) is stored locally on your device. This data is not accessible to us or any third party.

Third-Party Services

We do not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. No data is shared with third parties.

Subscriptions and Payments

If you purchase a subscription or in-app purchase, payment is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We have no access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Since we do not collect any data at all, this applies to users of all ages.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
