What the app does connect to
The app makes exactly two types of network requests:
- Equestrian camp data — on launch, the app fetches camp data. This is a one-way download. No information about you, your device, or your usage is included in the request beyond a standard HTTPS request from an anonymous IP address. This file is from public federal datasets (Recreation.gov and NPS).
- GPS location — if you grant permission, iOS provides your device's location to the app to sort camps by distance. Your location is never transmitted anywhere. It is used only on your device to calculate distances.
We receive no information from either of these connections that identifies you in any way. An anonymous IP address making an HTTP GET request tells us nothing about who you are.
Your horse health documents
Coggins certificates, health certificates, brand inspection records, vaccination records, and any other documents you upload are stored exclusively in your iPhone's private app sandbox using iOS data protection encryption (NSFileProtectionComplete). This means:
- The files are encrypted at rest on your device
- They are never transmitted to HorseCamp or any third party
- We have no access to them — not now, not ever
- They are permanently deleted when you remove them in the app or uninstall HorseCamp
- If you have iCloud Backup enabled, they back up to your own Apple account — not ours
No accounts, no sign-in
HorseCamp has no account system. You don't create a username or password. You don't give us an email address. There is no HorseCamp server that has a record of your existence as a user.
Children's privacy
HorseCamp does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Since we collect no information from anyone, COPPA does not apply.
Third-party services
HorseCamp does not use advertising networks, analytics SDKs, social login, or any other third-party data services embedded in the app. The only third-party involvement is Apple's App Store and optional Apple crash reporting, both governed by Apple's own privacy policy.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change what data we collect — for example, if we add an account system in a future version — we will update this policy before shipping that version and the effective date at the top will reflect the change.
