Waterschap van Zomerpeil

Privacy Policy

Last updated 11 November 2026 · Applies to the Zomerpeil iOS app.

Short version

Zomerpeil collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server. Everything you do — every ditch you dig, every mill you build, every polder you restore — is written to a file on your own device and never leaves it.

What the app stores, and where

Zomerpeil saves your progress (your polders, ditches, mills, fields, crops, villagers' trust and the harvest log) to a JSON file inside the app's own Application Support folder on your device. This data:

Notifications

If you turn on reminders in Settings, Zomerpeil asks iOS for permission to show local notifications — for example, a note that Jacoba walks the dike on Sunday, or a warning before a storm night. These notifications are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device by iOS itself. We do not use a push notification service, and no notification content or token is ever sent to us or to anyone else.

Audio, haptics and settings

Sound, music, haptics and your chosen reminders are simple on/off preferences stored locally with the rest of your save file. They never leave your device either.

No tracking, no third parties

Zomerpeil contains no advertising SDKs, no analytics SDKs and no third-party trackers of any kind. We do not know how often you play, what you build, or who you are. There is nothing for us to sell or share, because nothing is ever collected.

Children's privacy

Because Zomerpeil collects no personal data from anyone, it does not knowingly collect personal data from children either. The app is suitable for a general audience.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes — for instance, if a future version of the app adds an online feature — we will update this page and the in-app "About" screen before that version ships.

Questions about this policy can be sent through the support page, which has a contact form.
