Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the FeatherScan mobile application (the "Application"). The app is designed as a privacy-first bird identification tool, operating offline with no account creation or cloud storage.

1. Local-First and Private by Design

FeatherScan is a privacy-respecting bird identifier that works fully offline. No signup is required, and no personal data is collected or transmitted.

All your scan history, images, and preferences are stored only on your device. We do not sync or store this data remotely.

2. What Data Is Accessed?

The application may access the following only while actively using the relevant features:

• Camera or photo library (for bird species identification)
• Local storage (to save history and settings)

This data never leaves your device.

3. How Is Your Data Used?

Your images and scan data are processed only on your device to provide species suggestions. No analytics, tracking, or profiling occurs.

4. Optional Cloud-Based Identification

FeatherScan includes an optional cloud-based AI feature to help identify bird species from photos. This is used only when you manually trigger an online scan.

Images are transmitted securely over HTTPS and processed in real time. They are never stored or reused.

5. Security

All optional online image requests are encrypted using HTTPS. No images or personal information are saved on external servers. Each request is deleted immediately after processing.

6. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

FeatherScan offers premium features via in-app purchases and auto-renewable subscriptions through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

• Payments are charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account.
• Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled 24 hours before the renewal date.
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your device’s App Store or Google Play settings.
• Free trials (if offered) end once a subscription is purchased.
• Apple and Google handle all billing and refunds according to their policies.

For billing questions, contact us at support@onerack.eu.

7. Data Sharing for Purchases and Refunds

If you make in-app purchases, we may share limited, non-personal consumption data with Apple or Google through our payment partner RevenueCat to assist in verifying and processing refund requests.

This may include non-identifying information such as the product you purchased, the date of purchase, whether the content was accessed, and general usage signals needed for refund decisions.

By making in-app purchases, you consent to this limited data sharing solely for the purpose of refund evaluation, in compliance with Apple and Google’s privacy and refund policies.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this document from time to time. Any changes will appear here. Please check periodically for updates.
