Beekeeper Journal: Hive Log

At a glance

This notice describes Beekeeper Journal: Hive Log version 1.1. Kovi Apps does not operate a user-account or app-data server for this app and does not receive the records you enter in ordinary use. The app has no advertising or third-party analytics SDK. Optional Apple services are described below.

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
• Limited completed-activity references, completion counts, last request time and app version, stored only to limit optional rating requests

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.

Optional Pro purchase

Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase through Apple. Apple processes the payment; Kovi Apps does not receive your payment-card details or the payment details you enter with Apple. Apple provides the verified purchase status used to unlock or restore Pro. The free features remain free. Purchase and Restore do not upload hive observations or photos to Kovi Apps. Restore purchases restores access, not a journal archive. Use Restore from backup separately for compatible journal backups.

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, cloud sync, location, microphone, or speech recognition is used. Reference links open third-party websites.
• The app may ask Apple to show its optional system rating dialog. Apple controls whether it appears and handles any rating or review you choose to submit under its own privacy terms. The app does not learn whether you rated it or what rating you chose. The request history stays on your device and is removed when you remove the app.

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.
