Privacy Policy for Diveplan App
Effective Date: 11th September 2026
Thank you for using Diveplan! This Privacy Policy explains what happens to
information when you use our mobile application called Diveplan (the
"App"). Diveplan has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no server of its
own. Everything you create in the App — dive plans, logs, checklists, gas
blends, team details and dive-site positions — is stored only on your
device, and is deleted when you uninstall the App.
-
Information We Don't Collect
We do not operate a server and we receive none of your data. We do not
collect, store or receive your name, email address, phone number, dive
records or location. Nothing you enter into the App is sent to us.
-
What Leaves Your Device
Two things leave your device, both as a side effect of the App working
rather than as anything we collect:
-
Map tiles. When a screen shows a map — choosing a
dive site on a log, or viewing a saved log — the App fetches map
data from tiles.openfreemap.org, run by OpenFreeMap. Those requests
carry your device's IP address and the coordinates of the area of
map on screen. That area indicates roughly where your dive site is:
approximate when the map first opens, more precise as you zoom in to
place the pin. OpenFreeMap is an independent, volunteer-run service.
The map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors.
-
App updates. Each time the App starts, it asks
u.expo.dev — Expo, our build and update provider — whether a newer
version of the App's code is available. That request carries your
device's IP address, its platform, and the version of the App
installed. Expo's privacy policy is at
https://expo.dev/privacy.
Both use HTTPS. Map tiles you have already loaded are cached on your
device so the map works offline and loads faster; that cache is local,
and is removed when you uninstall the App.
-
Location
If you allow it, Diveplan reads your device's location to centre the map
when you record a dive site. That reading stays on your device and is
saved only in the dive log you are editing. It is never sent to us or to
anyone else. You can refuse the location permission and place the site
by panning the map instead — the App works either way.
-
Information Sharing
We hold none of your data, so we have nothing to sell or share. The only
third parties that receive anything at all are the two services named in
section 2, and what they receive is the request metadata described
there.
-
Analytics and Crash Reports
There are none. Diveplan contains no analytics, advertising, tracking or
crash-reporting software of any kind.
-
Deleting Your Data
Uninstalling Diveplan deletes everything it stored on your device. There
is nothing for us to delete, because we hold nothing.
-
Children's Privacy
The Diveplan App is not intended for use by children under the age of
13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If
we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information
from a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that
information.
-
Security
Both of the requests described in section 2 are made over HTTPS.
However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the
internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we
strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information,
we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
-
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we
make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by updating the
"Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review
this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of
the App after any modifications to this Privacy Policy will constitute
your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and
be bound by the updated policy.
-

privacy when using the Diveplan App, please contact us at
