Privacy Policy

Combly is a 100% offline beekeeping logbook. This policy explains, in plain terms, what happens to your data: nothing leaves your device.

Effective date: 21 July 2026 · Last updated: 21 July 2026

01 Organization Information

Combly is published by an organization (company) Google Play developer account.

02 Data Collection

Combly collects no personal data whatsoever. We do not gather, transmit, sell, rent or otherwise process any information about you or your device.

Specifically, the app does not collect:

03 Data Usage

The beekeeping information you enter — apiaries, colonies, inspections, queen records, treatments, feeding, harvests, varroa counts, tags, notes, goals and app settings — is stored only on your device and is used only to display it back to you and to compute your on-device statistics, streaks and reminders.

No content is uploaded, backed up to a server, or processed anywhere else.

04 Data Sharing

We share nothing, because we receive nothing. There are no third parties with access to your records, no advertising networks, and no data brokers.

The one exception is entirely under your control: if you use the in-app Export feature, the resulting JSON or CSV file is handed to your device's own share sheet so that you can send it wherever you choose. Combly does not transmit it anywhere itself.

05 Data Security

Your records are stored locally using industry-standard on-device storage:

Because nothing is transmitted, there is no server-side database that could be breached. Device-level protection (screen lock, disk encryption) remains your responsibility.

06 Data Retention

Your data is retained on your device until you remove it. You can erase it at any time by:

We hold no copies, so there is nothing for us to delete on your behalf.

07 No User Accounts

Combly has no sign-up, no sign-in, no password and no cloud profile. You never provide credentials, and there is no account for us to associate data with.

08 Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Combly does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is a general-purpose beekeeping tool, is not directed at children, and is not enrolled in Google Play's Designed for Families programme. Since no data is collected from any user, there is no risk of collecting a child's personal information.

09 User Rights

You retain complete control of your information at all times:

Because we never receive your data, these rights are exercised entirely within the app — there is no request to submit and no waiting period.

10 No Third-Party Services

Combly integrates no third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, attribution or social SDKs. It contains no trackers. The app's functionality is provided entirely by open-source Flutter packages that run locally on your device and make no network calls.

11 Permissions

Combly requests exactly one Android permission:

The app requests no camera, microphone, location, contacts, storage or notification permissions.

12 Google Play Data Safety

Our Google Play Data Safety declaration states:
