Privacy policy

Last updated 1 November 2026

Short version: Dog Beach NZ doesn’t collect, store or share any personal information.

Location

If you tap the location button, the app asks for permission to use your location so it can centre the map on where you are. Your location is only used on your device. It’s never sent to us or to anyone else.

What the app downloads

The app downloads beach rules and tide data from this website, and map images from OpenFreeMap. Like any website, these servers may briefly log standard request information (such as IP address and time). The requests don’t include your location or anything that identifies you, and we don’t use them to track you.

No accounts, ads or analytics

There are no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no third-party tracking in the app.

Children

The app doesn’t knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the date above.
