Vive-Eau is a tide booklet for low-tide foraging (la pêche à pied) along the Breton coast. This page explains, plainly and completely, what the app does and does not do with your information.
Everything you add to Vive-Eau — the tide times and coefficients you copy from your paper booklet, your foraging spots, your catch log entries, your réglette calibration and minimum-size table, and any photo you attach — is written only to your iPhone or iPad, inside the app's own private storage (UserDefaults for small settings, and files for everything else). None of it is sent anywhere, because the app makes no network requests at all.
| Category | Collected? |
|---|---|
| Contact info (name, email, etc.) | No |
| Location | No |
| Photos you attach to a spot or outing | Stored locally only, never uploaded |
| Usage data / analytics | No |
| Identifiers / advertising data | No |
| Diagnostics | No |
Vive-Eau asks for camera access only if you choose to photograph a catch or a spot, and for photo library access only if you choose to pick an existing picture. Both are entirely optional, used only at the moment you tap to attach a photo, and the resulting image never leaves your device.
If you turn on tide reminders in Settings, Vive-Eau asks the system for permission to schedule local notifications. These notifications are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device; no reminder content or schedule is ever transmitted to us or to anyone else.
Vive-Eau does not track you across apps or websites, does not use advertising identifiers, and contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. There are no tracking domains and no data broker relationships of any kind.
There is no sign-in, no server, and no cloud sync. Deleting the app deletes everything it stored, because nothing exists outside your device.
Vive-Eau does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it collects no information at all.
Vive-Eau's catch log and réglette are personal record-keeping tools. They are not a substitute for official prefectoral regulations or sanitary closures, which you should always check with your local prefecture or the beach information panel before gathering shellfish.
If this policy ever changes — for instance if a future version of the app adds a feature that uses data differently — this page will be updated and the "last updated" date above will change accordingly.
Questions about this policy can be sent through our support page, which has a simple contact form.
