Plain-language privacy policy
A quiet archive for a local-only fieldbook
This policy describes the shipped Foothill Signal Android app: an offline educational fieldbook with no account, network feature, analytics, advertising, sharing, or free-form personal-data entry.
Scope and operator
This policy covers the shipped Foothill Signal Android app. The product is proposed independent educational software associated with the package org.boisebackstheblue.foothillsignal; it is not an official organization, Boise Police Department, City of Boise, emergency-management, or 911 product. Final publisher and privacy-operator identity remain publisher-controlled information and must be confirmed before public release.
Data inventory
The app can store only field-card identifiers placed in one of two mutually exclusive sets: Practiced or Revisit. It also relies on ordinary operating-system and app-installation data outside the app's own content model. The app has no names, addresses, notes, photographs, call records, account profiles, scores, streaks, or shared submissions.
Collection and processing
No personal-data form exists. When a user taps Practiced or Revisit, the app updates the matching local identifier set so the Local Trail can display that choice. Tapping the selected choice again clears it. This local behavior is the only app-authored data processing.
Local storage
Practiced and Revisit identifiers are stored in private Android app preferences on the device. They are not designed for synchronization, export, account recovery, or server backup. Android backup and device-transfer extraction are disabled in the app manifest and data-extraction rules.
Permissions
The shipped app declares no runtime permissions. It does not request camera, microphone, contacts, phone, notification, Bluetooth, precise or approximate location, storage, calendar, sensor, or network permissions.
Network behavior
All one hundred field-card images and all educational copy are packaged inside the Android artifact. The app declares no internet permission and has no network feature, remote configuration, content download, browser view, upload, or dispatch connection.
Third-party services
The shipped app contains no third-party service SDK for analytics, advertising, authentication, social sharing, crash reporting, maps, payments, messaging, cloud storage, or remote media. Standard Android and Jetpack libraries provide local application functionality.
Analytics, ads, and tracking
The app has no analytics, advertising, behavioral profiling, cross-app tracking, attribution SDK, device-fingerprint feature, marketing pixel, telemetry upload, or personalized content feed. It does not create engagement scores or streaks.
Accounts and authentication
No sign-up, sign-in, profile, password, email verification, social login, subscription, or identity credential is supported. Local Practiced and Revisit choices are not linked to an account and cannot be recovered from a service operated by the app.
Children
Some educational cards are suitable for adult-guided family discussion or service learning, but the app does not ask a child to create an account, submit a name, share a location, take a photograph, contact another person, or document participants. Final child-directed store classification is a publisher-controlled decision.
Sensitive data
The app has no free-form notebook and is not designed to receive health information, emergency details, precise locations, addresses, phone numbers, private stories, reports about people, government identifiers, financial data, biometrics, or photographs. Exercises tell users to keep examples fictional or household-safe.
Security
The narrow data model, no-network design, private app preferences, disabled backup, no exported data component, and release signing reduce exposure. No software can promise absolute security; device access, operating-system behavior, malware, and backups outside this app remain outside the app's control.
Retention and deletion
Local Practiced and Revisit identifiers remain until the user clears all local flags, toggles individual choices off, clears app data in Android settings, or uninstalls the app. Because no app service receives the identifiers, there is no server-side deletion request for this shipped build.
User controls
Users may choose Practiced, choose Revisit, tap an active choice again to remove it, or use Clear all local flags in Local Trail. Android settings also provide standard app-data and uninstall controls. The app works without marking any card.
International use
The fieldbook's editorial context is Boise-area civic care and Idaho household readiness, while the shipped app has no server transfer or cross-border service. Users outside that context should rely on their own current local official emergency guidance and laws.
Policy changes
If a later app version changes its data behavior, permissions, services, or controls, its policy should be revised before distribution and the effective version should be communicated through the publisher's chosen release surface. This local artifact does not prove that a future policy is hosted or live.
Contact and questions
A verified public privacy contact has not been supplied for this proposed product. The publisher must add an accurate monitored contact and live policy location before public release. No address or contact detail is invented in this local website artifact.
Sources and attribution
Privacy statements are based on the locally inspected Android source, manifest, packaged resources, data-extraction rules, dependencies, and verified release behavior. Educational emergency topics should be checked against current official guidance; local build evidence does not establish public hosting, Play approval, organization approval, publisher authority, or rights clearance.
