ScubaPlan Privacy Policy

By using the ScubaPlan application, you agree to the following privacy policy:

1. Data Controller

Controller: Arturo Carretero Calvo.
Contact: contacto@arturocarreterocalvo.com

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing your data is the provision of the service requested by installing and using the ScubaPlan application.

3. Recipients and international data transfers

Encrypted data may be stored on Google (Firebase) servers, which may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Google complies with the legal guarantees required by the GDPR for such international transfers. In addition, data related to synchronization may be stored in your personal Apple iCloud account, which is subject to Apple’s privacy policy.
See the Firebase Privacy Policy and the Apple Privacy Policy for more information.

4. Minors

ScubaPlan is not directed at children under the age of 14. If it is detected that personal data from a minor has been collected without consent, we will delete it as soon as possible.

5. Data collection

ScubaPlan does not collect or store personal user data on our servers. All data generated by the use of the application is stored locally on your device and on our Google Firebase servers, encrypted with a key generated when the application is first installed and stored in the Apple keychain in your account, so we have no access to that key or the possibility of decrypting the data. In addition, the data on our servers is exclusively associated with the user identifier created upon registration, and never with email addresses or names.

Sign in with Apple can be anonymous and it is Apple who links it to your real email address. ScubaPlan uses Google Firebase solely to implement this login and it is used exclusively for managing the registered user’s session.

6. Use of iCloud

ScubaPlan uses iCloud to store and synchronize the encryption key for your data. This data is stored in your personal iCloud account and is subject to Apple’s privacy policy. We do not have access to the data stored in your iCloud, and if you consciously delete that key, you will not be able to access your data again, nor will we.

7. Locally stored data

The data related to your dives, plans, and settings is stored locally on your device. This data is not shared with us or with third parties.

8. Permissions and use of location

ScubaPlan may request access to your location only in order to associate a location with a dive plan, if you authorize it. This location is not used for any other purpose, is not stored continuously, and is not shared with third parties.

9. Access to device sensors

ScubaPlan accesses your device's sensors, such as the depth sensor on Apple Watch (depending on the models available and authorized for this), exclusively to provide the application’s features. This data is not transmitted outside your device and is only stored in encrypted form along with your other encrypted data.

10. Data retention

Data will remain stored as long as your account remains active in the application and you keep the encryption key. If you delete the application, the encryption key, or request the deletion of your account, the data will be irreversibly deleted, as recovery will not be possible without the key.

11. Service analysis and improvement

We do not use third-party analytics tools or collect usage data. Any improvements to our application are based on direct user feedback and App Store reviews.

12. Security

Although we do not store your data unencrypted, we recommend that you keep your device and iCloud account secure to protect your personal data.

13. User rights

As a user, you have the right to request access, rectification, deletion, objection, restriction, or portability of your personal data, in accordance with current regulations. To exercise these rights, you can contact us at: contacto@arturocarreterocalvo.com. Please note that, as the data is encrypted and we do not have access to the encryption key, we may not be able to recover or modify encrypted information if the key is lost.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page.

15. Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, you can contact us at: contacto@arturocarreterocalvo.com

By using ScubaPlan, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this privacy policy.
