Privacy Policy
Beekeeper Journal
Effective September 3, 2026
At a glance
This notice describes the currently inspected candidate for Beekeeper Journal. It is designed as a local-first app: Kovi Apps does not operate a user-account or app-data server for this app, does not receive the records you enter in ordinary use, and the inspected candidate contains no advertising or third-party analytics SDK.
Information stored on your device
The app may store the following information in its private app container:
- Apiaries and hives
- Inspection observations and notes
- Drafts and preferences
- Locally stored photos
This information is controlled through the app and your device. It is not transmitted to Kovi Apps in ordinary use.
Permissions and Apple services
- Camera access is requested only when you choose to take a hive photo.
- Apple’s Photos Picker is used when you select an existing image. Imported images are re-encoded as PNG and embedded metadata is removed.
Apple may process information needed to provide the system features named above, device backups, App Store delivery, and any sharing action you initiate, under your Apple settings and Apple’s own privacy terms.
Exports, sharing, and external links
You may export CSV, PDF, or ZIP archives, restore an archive, and share files through Apple’s system interfaces. The app does not automatically send them to Kovi Apps; we receive one only if you intentionally attach it to a support message.
- No backend, account, analytics, advertising, StoreKit, cloud sync, location, microphone, or speech recognition is used. Reference links open third-party websites.
When you leave the app or share a file, the destination service and recipient control their copy under their own terms.
Retention and deletion
Delete records inside the app, use Delete Everything, or remove the app. Delete exports and backups at their destinations separately; the app cannot erase recipient or system-backup copies.
Because there is no Kovi Apps account for this app, there is no server-side app account to delete.
Support messages
If you email support, Kovi Apps, operated by Danila Pryadko receives the email address, message, and attachments you intentionally send. We use that information to answer and investigate your request, protect the support channel from abuse, and meet applicable legal obligations. We retain it only as long as reasonably needed for those purposes.
Changes and contact
This notice may be updated when the app’s verified data practices change. The effective date above identifies the current public version.
