Privacy Policy
CombKeeper by LokiSec
Effective: 2026-06-19 · Publisher: LokiSec · Contact: privacy@lokisec.de
Our commitment
HiveLog is built on the principle that **your hive records are your own**. It is local-first, works entirely offline, and collects zero personal data by default.
What we collect
Nothing. CombKeeper stores all data locally on your device. There is no account, no cloud backup, and no tracking by default.
We do not collect:
- Your name, email, or contact information
- Your hives, inspections, treatments, harvests, photos, or notes
- Location data or device identifiers
- Telemetry, crash reports, or usage analytics
Data storage
All CombKeeper data is stored in app-private local storage on your device only. This data:
- Is never sent to LokiSec servers
- Is never shared with third parties
- Remains yours to delete at any time
- Is lost only if you uninstall the app or factory-reset your device
Optional features
Google Drive Sync (Optional)
If you choose to enable Google Drive sync, backups are stored in your own Google Drive account in a private appDataFolder that only this app can access. LokiSec does not operate any sync server and has no access to your synced data. Sync is entirely optional and the app works perfectly without it. You can disable sync at any time and delete your backup from Google Drive.
Optional Affiliate Links
HiveLog may show clearly-labelled links to beekeeping gear (hive tools, smokers, frames, suits, and books). If you buy through one, LokiSec may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are always optional and never placed inside your inspection records.
Purchases
Some apps include in-app purchases (an optional support purchase or a one-time unlock). Payments are processed by Google Play; LokiSec receives only a confirmation that a purchase was made and collects no payment details or other personal data.
Permissions explained
| Permission | Why | Required? |
|---|---|---|
CAMERA | To photograph an inspection, hive, or frame | No — you can keep inspections in text or pick existing photos |
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE | To export your records as JSON or CSV files | No — you can skip export |
Data export and deletion
You always retain full control:
- Export a full JSON backup, or inspections and harvests as CSV, via Settings → Export
- The file is written to a location you choose
- Delete a hive, or uninstall the app, to remove the data immediately
- If you've enabled Drive sync, delete the backup from your Google Drive separately
Legal compliance
GDPR: We collect no personal data, so there is nothing on our servers to access or delete — your data is yours and lives on your device.
Security
All local data is stored in app-private storage with standard Android file permissions. If you enable Drive sync, encryption is handled by Google Drive. The app does not store passwords or credentials in plain text.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy occasionally. The "Effective Date" at the top shows when it was last updated. Continued use of CombKeeper after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
