Septic Watch privacy policy
The short version
- We collect no data. Septic Watch has no account, no analytics, no ads and no crash reporting.
- What you type is saved only on your phone. We never receive it.
- Nothing is sold or shared, because we never have it.
- You can export it, or erase it, any time.
Who we are
Septic Watch is published by Back Forty Apps (“we”). You can reach us at [email protected].
What the app stores, and where
Property and system details, tank notes, your service log (dates, contractor, optional cost and notes), estimate inputs, your light/dark choice, and whether you have seen the welcome screen.
All of it lives in the app’s private storage on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else. Your phone’s own backups (such as iCloud or Google device backup) may include it, under your Apple or Google account settings.
What we collect
Nothing. The app contains no analytics, advertising, tracking, crash-reporting or payment tools, and it does not send your information over the internet.
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| None | Septic Watch does not ask for your location, camera, microphone, photos, contacts or tracking permission. |
Links to other websites
The care guide links to public EPA and Texas (TCEQ and state rule) pages. They open in your browser only if you tap them. Those sites have their own privacy policies.
Backup files you create
If you export a backup or CSV file, it is saved where you choose. If you share that file, whoever receives it can read it. Import only reads a file you pick.
Deleting your data
Use More → reset or erase in the app and confirm, or uninstall the app. Because we never have a copy, there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
Children
Septic Watch is suitable for all ages. It does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. It has no chat, no public sharing, no ads and no purchases in version 1.0. See our note for families.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date at the top. If a future version ever needs to collect anything, we will say so here and in the store listing before that version ships.
