The Short Version

You trust us with data about your reef tank. We take that seriously. We collect what we need to run the app, we don't sell it, and you can delete everything anytime. We are a one-person Canadian operation, not a data broker.

What We Collect
Account information

Username, email address, and hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.

Tank and parameter data

Everything you log — tank details, water parameters, livestock records, equipment, water changes, dosing schedules, photos, and notes. This is your data.

Usage data

Which features you use and how often. We do not track you across other websites.

How We Use Your Data
To run the app

Your tank data powers your dashboard, charts, and AI analysis.

Community benchmarks

With your permission (opted in by default, opt out anytime in Settings), we use anonymized aggregated parameter readings to build community benchmarks. No personal information, usernames, or tank names are ever included.

Email

We send transactional emails and, if subscribed, weekly summaries and alerts. Unsubscribe anytime in Settings.

Who We Share Data With

We do not sell your data. We do not share with advertisers.

AI Features and Your Data

When you use AI analysis, your tank parameter data is sent to Anthropic's API to generate recommendations. We recommend not including sensitive personal information in tank notes.

Important

AI recommendations should be treated as suggestions from an informed hobbyist, not professional aquatic advice.

Your Rights (PIPEDA)

As a Canadian operation subject to PIPEDA, you have the right to:

  • Access your data (visible in the app)
  • Correct it (edit in Settings)
  • Delete it (Settings → Data & Privacy → Delete Account)
  • Withdraw consent for community data sharing
  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails

Contact [email protected] for any other privacy requests.

Data Retention

Your data is kept until you delete your account. Deleted accounts are permanently removed within 30 days.

Security

Passwords are hashed using scrypt. Sessions are cryptographically signed. All traffic is encrypted via HTTPS. If you discover a security vulnerability please email [email protected] before disclosing publicly.

Beta Notice

ReefLog is in beta. We recommend not using ReefLog as your sole record of tank history during this period.
