/* privacy notice — plain language, no filler */
Short answer up front, detail below. This document describes the current release and is rewritten before any release that would make it inaccurate.
South Cannock Farm Secure Dog Walking Limited, trading as LumenHarbor Studio, a company registered in England and Wales at 26 Jacobs Hall Lane, Walsall WS6 6AD, United Kingdom. We wrote the application, we maintain it, and we are the data controller for anything described here.
Director: Jade Dunkley. Anything in this document can be raised at harbor@southcannockfarm.today.
Sortwise has no accounts, no login and no server of ours. It never asks for your name, email or phone number. Your quiz score and your settings sit in the application's own storage on your phone. Uninstall the application and they are gone with it.
What follows explains that properly, including the small amount of technical information Google receives because the application is distributed through Google Play.
All of it is written into the private storage area Android reserves for each application, which other applications on the device cannot read:
Nothing above is transmitted to us. There is no backend, no synchronisation and no account for it to attach to, so we hold no copy of it and could not produce one if asked.
To clear it: uninstall, or open Settings → Apps → Sortwise → Storage → Clear storage. That resets the quiz record and every preference, and cannot be undone.
None. Sortwise asks for no runtime permissions at all. It does not touch your camera, microphone, contacts, photos, files, location, calendar, call log or messages, and it does not need internet access in order to work.
The algorithms, the Python listings, the explanations and the quiz questions are all compiled into the application, so there is nothing to fetch.
Should a later version need a permission for some feature, Android will ask you at the moment that feature is used, and this document will already have been updated to say why.
Sortwise contains no advertising libraries, no analytics libraries and no social network integrations. We build no profile of you, we do not follow you into other applications or websites, and we sell or share nothing with data brokers, because we have nothing to sell or share.
The application reaches you through Google Play. Google independently collects installation, crash and device information under its own terms, which are outside our control — see the Google Privacy Policy. Where Google Play services libraries are present in the binary, they may handle technical identifiers such as device model, Android version and an advertising ID for the purposes Google sets out. None of that reaches us in a form that identifies you.
Sortwise is educational software for a general audience, students very much included. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and since it collects none from anybody, it holds none belonging to a child.
If you are a parent or guardian and think your child has sent us personal information — by writing to our support address, for instance — tell us and it will be deleted.
We keep your message and address for as long as the question takes to resolve, and for up to twenty-four months after that so a follow-up can be recognised. Our basis is our legitimate interest in supporting the people who use our software. Nothing goes onto a mailing list and nothing is passed on.
Under the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR you may ask for access to your personal data, correction of it, erasure of it, restriction of its processing or portability, and you may object to processing altogether. You may also complain to a supervisory authority — in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Write to harbor@southcannockfarm.today and we answer within one month.
Application data lives in the sandbox Android gives each installed application, isolated from everything else on the device. Because nothing travels, there is no traffic to intercept and no database of ours to breach. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to the little information we do handle, while accepting that no form of electronic storage is ever completely secure.
This notice is updated when the application changes or when the law requires it. The date at the top is the date the current wording took effect. If a future release begins collecting anything this version does not mention, the rewritten notice is published before that release ships, not after somebody notices.
