What HorseCamp collects
HorseCamp does not require you to create an account. We do not ask for a username, password, email address, or payment information in the current iPhone app. We do not operate a HorseCamp user database containing your horse records or trip plans.

| Your location | Not stored by us | Used by iOS/app features for nearby results, maps, weather, and directions |
| Your horses | No server collection | Your iPhone only, unless included in a share link you create |
| Vet documents | Original files not uploaded | Your iPhone app sandbox |
| Trip plans | No server collection | Your iPhone only, unless included in a share link you create |

| Crash reports | Apple only | Apple's servers, if you opted in to share diagnostics with developers |
What the app connects to
HorseCamp uses network services so the app can show current and useful travel information. Depending on what you tap and what permissions you grant, the app may connect to:
- HorseCampFinder.com to download public campground data and to display trip/check-in share pages.
- National Weather Service for weather forecast data near a camp or route stop.
- Public wildfire/geographic data services for wildfire context where available.
- Apple MapKit and related Apple services for maps, geocoding, search, nearby places, and directions.
- External websites and apps when you choose to open campground websites, trail links, directions, phone calls, emails, or share links.
These services may receive ordinary technical information needed to fulfill the request, such as your IP address, approximate/requested location, map search text, coordinates, or the URL you open. HorseCamp does not use advertising networks or sell personal data.
Location
If you grant location permission, HorseCamp uses your location to show nearby camps, nearby equine services, map context, weather context, and directions-related features. You can deny or revoke location permission in iOS Settings. Some features may be less useful without location access.
Your horse health documents
Coggins certificates, health certificates, brand inspection records, vaccination records, and other document files you add are stored in the iPhone app sandbox. HorseCamp does not upload those original files to a HorseCamp account or document server.
- Original document files stay on your device unless you separately choose to export or share them.
- Deleting a document in the app removes the app's local copy.
- If you have iCloud Backup enabled, iOS may back up app data to your own Apple account according to your Apple settings.
Check-in and trip share links
If you create a check-in QR code or share link, the link may contain information you entered in the app, such as horse names, breed/color/sex, document type, certificate number, veterinarian name, expiration status, generated time, trip origin/destination, and stops. Anyone with that link or QR code can view the share page. Share links are intended for people you choose to send them to.
The original uploaded document files are not uploaded by the check-in QR/link feature.
No accounts, no sign-in
HorseCamp has no account system in the current iPhone app. You do not create a username or password. If we add accounts, subscriptions, reviews, analytics, or cloud sync in a future version, we will update this policy before shipping that version.
Children's privacy
HorseCamp is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Third-party services
HorseCamp does not use advertising SDKs, social login, or third-party analytics SDKs in the current iPhone app. Apple services, public weather/map/geographic services, and websites you choose to open are governed by their own privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
If we change what data we collect or how app data is stored or shared, we will update this policy and revise the effective date above.
