Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 28, 2026
Your privacy is paramount to us. At Off The Grid - Survival, we believe that survival tools should be private by design. Our application is built to function entirely offline, meaning your personal data stays where it belongs: on your device.
1. Information Collection and Use
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal identifiable information (PII) to our servers. All data generated within the app remains local to your device.
2. Hardware Permissions
To provide essential survival features, the app requests the following specific hardware permissions:
- Camera/Flashlight (android.permission.CAMERA): Used exclusively to operate the device's LED flash for the Emergency Flashlight tool. We do not access the camera sensor to take photos or record videos.
- Location (android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): Used solely to show your current position on the offline USGS Topo maps and to provide compass orientation. Your location data is processed locally and is never shared with us or any third parties.
3. Offline Integrity
The core philosophy of "Off The Grid" is that you shouldn't need a signal to stay safe. Because the app works offline, there is no background telemetry or tracking occurring when you are in the field.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website utilizes a newsletter signup form (via Formspree). If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address purely for the purpose of sending you survival tips and app updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
5. Children's Privacy
Our app does not collect any data from children or adults. It is a utility tool designed for hikers, campers, and preppers of all ages.
6. 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.
