Fieldbook & CoPrivacy Policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
Fieldbook & Co is a private journal for lawful country sports. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the Fieldbook & Co app (version 1).
Who we are
Fieldbook & Co is responsible for this app and this website.
Contact: support@fieldbookandco.com
What the app keeps, and where
Everything you enter is saved in the app's storage on your device only. That includes:
- shoot days, stalks, larder entries, grounds, clay notes and contacts
- photographs you choose to attach
- your settings, such as your nation, distance unit and reminder preferences
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. We cannot see it, and we cannot recover it for you.
Device backups. If you back up your device to iCloud or a computer, Apple's backup may include the app's data, under your Apple account and Apple's own privacy terms. We have no access to it.
Permissions the app asks for
Each permission is optional and is only requested when you use a feature that needs it.
| Permission | Why | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | To take a photograph for an entry | Stays on your device |
| Photo library | To attach an existing picture to an entry | Stays on your device |
| Location (while using the app) | To place a point you ask for | Saved only against that entry on your device. No track is recorded, and location is never used in the background |
| Face ID / passcode | To unlock a private section of the app, if you switch a lock on | Handled entirely by iOS. The app never sees your face data or passcode |
| Notifications | Reminders such as season openings and dates you set | Scheduled locally on your device. No push server is used |
Where a map is shown, it is displayed using Apple Maps, and Apple may process the map area requested under Apple's privacy policy.
Things you choose to share
The app only sends information off your device when you tap to do so:
- Sharing. Anything you share through the iOS share sheet goes only where you send it.
- Email. Links such as “list a business” or “report an incorrect listing” open your own mail app with a draft. Nothing is sent unless you send it.
- Websites. Links to official sources and business websites open in your browser.
Once shared, that copy is handled by the app or person you sent it to.
Explore directory
In version 1 the Explore directory does not connect to any server and contains no live listings. Listings you view are remembered on your device only, as “Recently viewed”.
This website
fieldbookandco.com uses no cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking scripts, and loads no third-party fonts. Like any website, it is served through a hosting provider (Cloudflare), which processes standard technical information such as your IP address in order to deliver pages securely.
Children
The app is not intended for children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone.
Your rights (UK GDPR)
Because we do not hold any personal data about you from this app, there is nothing for us to access, correct or erase. You control your data directly: edit or delete entries in the app, or delete the app to remove everything stored by it. You can contact us with any question, and you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
What will change
Later versions may add optional features such as accounts (Sign in with Apple), sharing with friends and a live Explore directory. Those features will need some data to be held on a server, for example your account identifier and what you choose to share. Before any of that is released we will update this policy, explain the lawful basis, the processors we use and where data is stored, and such features will be opt-in. Your existing book will remain on your device unless you choose otherwise.
Changes to this policy
We will post any changes on this page and update the date above.
