AquaMaster: Aquarium Log Book - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 17, 2026

Welcome to "AquaMaster: Aquarium Log Book" (also known as "水族大師日誌 - 魚缸換水提醒與養魚紀錄", hereinafter referred to as "the App"). We highly value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your data.

🔒 Core Privacy Commitment

This App operates on a local storage and secure personal iCloud architecture. All aquarium logs and water quality data are stored on your local device or your personal iCloud space via Apple's SwiftData technology. The developer of this App does not run or own any third-party servers, and has no access to, nor stores or discloses your core aquarium data.

1. Device Permissions Usage

📷 Camera Permission

When you use the "Test Strip Camera Scanner" feature, the App will request access to your camera.
Our Promise: The camera is strictly used to assist you in capturing the color status of your water test strips for local calibration and pre-filling. The captured images are only processed in temporary memory for analysis and are never saved to your photo library, nor uploaded to any external server or shared with third parties.

📍 Location Permission

When you use the weather correlation feature (integrated with Apple WeatherKit) during water analysis, the App will request "While Using the App" location permission.
Our Promise: Location data is used strictly to retrieve real-time local atmospheric pressure and temperature to assist in analyzing the environmental climate's impact on your tank's ecology. We query weather data locally and instantaneously; we never track, log, or store your location history, nor do we upload your location data to the developer or any unrelated third parties.

2. Collection and Use of Personal Information

This App does not require users to register an account, and does not collect any personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number). However, to support the continuous operation of the free version, the App integrates a third-party advertising service:

📢 Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version of this App contains advertising services provided by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and use the following information from your device for ad serving, personalization, and performance analytics:

The collection of this data is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. You can restrict ad tracking at any time by disabling "Allow Apps to Request to Track" in your iOS System Settings.

3. Cloud Storage and Synchronization

The App supports Apple's iCloud Service (CloudKit) to enable automatic data synchronization across your multiple iOS devices (e.g., iPhone and iPad). This synchronization process occurs entirely within Apple's secure ecosystem. The developer does not have access to your iCloud container data.

4. Third-Party Services and SDKs

The App may utilize native Apple frameworks (such as WeatherKit to retrieve local weather data for correlating weather with water parameter trends). These services adhere to Apple's standard privacy policies. The App does not collect any personal data through these third-party services.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective immediately when they are posted on this page.
