Acrewood is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F). For any privacy question, write to captainlongevity@gmail.com.
Everything you enter — woodlands, stands, the years of management activities, program enrollments, plan goals, and deadlines — is stored in this app's local SwiftData store on your iPhone. There is no remote copy. We cannot read your records, restore them, or move them. Your data may be included in your standard iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backup) when those are enabled; that is Apple's normal on-device backup behavior, not an Acrewood feature. If you delete the app without an iOS Backup, your records are permanently lost. There is no in-app data export, import, or backup feature beyond the management-history PDF you choose to generate.
Device-backup contents and recovery depend on your system settings, a successfully completed usable backup and Apple’s restoration process; enabling backup alone does not guarantee recovery of every record. We cannot retrieve or restore your device backups.
Does Acrewood know where my land is?
No. Acrewood is deliberately not a map or GIS tool. It requests no location permission, draws no boundaries, and stores no coordinates. A woodland is just a name, a state, an acreage, and the records you attach to it.
How does the 50-state forest-tax reference work?
The app bundles general property tax summaries for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Browsing these summaries works offline. For current acreage, management plan, or filing requirements, use the linked government resources. Opening one of those links takes you to an external site that handles the request under its own privacy practices. Acrewood does not attach your records to those links. The summaries are general information and do not provide forestry, legal, or tax advice.
Are my timber-sale amounts a tax calculation?
No. Amounts you enter for a sale or a cost are your own records. Acrewood performs no tax, cost-basis, or capital-gain calculation and reports nothing to any agency. For tax matters, including IRS Section 631, consult a CPA.
Do you collect analytics, crash logs, or an advertising identifier?
No. There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no advertising identifier. We do not know how often you open the app, how many acres you track, or whether you subscribed — except through Apple's standard aggregate developer sales reports.
Does anything go to a cloud or to my forester?
Acrewood does not sync records to a cloud account or send them to a forester. You can share a generated PDF through the iOS Share Sheet. Calendar copies, device backups and any destination you choose for sharing are handled by their respective system or service.
Acrewood offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) via Apple's StoreKit 2. In the updated app, first-time setup and local recordkeeping work offline. Opening Pro can contact Apple to load prices and check purchase access. Your device also communicates with Apple for purchases, restoration, subscription management and checks for previously known purchases after setup. Acrewood can resume listening for an approval that was pending. Older versions may check purchase access during setup. The App reads StoreKit product and verified transaction information needed to check purchase access, including product and transaction identifiers, purchase dates, and expiry, upgrade or revocation status where applicable. It keeps purchase and access state on the device. The developer does not receive your Apple Account password or payment-card details through the App. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Acrewood uses the locally stored rating milestones to decide when to ask Apple to show its rating prompt. It does not send your activity records or milestone count with that request. Apple controls whether the prompt appears and handles any rating or review you choose to submit.
You can change these permissions at any time in iOS Settings > Acrewood. Acrewood requests no camera, no microphone, no photo library, no location, no HealthKit, and no contacts permission.
Acrewood is a personal recordkeeping tool for family woodland owners. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any state forestry agency, the USDA Forest Service, the American Tree Farm System, or any other organization. It uses no government logo or mark, does not provide forestry, legal, or tax advice, does not file or approve management plans, and does not enroll you in any program. References to state programs are publicly available reference content and are reference-only.
Acrewood is a tool for U.S. adults who own or manage woodland. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Deleting a woodland also deletes its stands, their activity history and its plan goals after a successful save. Separately stored reminders use a woodland identifier and are not removed by that cascade; review remaining reminders and scheduled alerts separately. The App has no Recently Deleted or full-database import; generated PDFs are reference copies.
Removing the App normally removes its local container, not independently saved exports, recipient copies or older backups. Manage those copies separately. Device-backup recovery requires a usable completed backup; the developer has no record archive to retrieve.
Acrewood is published in English and marketed in the United States. The reference data (state current-use forest-tax programs) is U.S.-specific. The App does not automatically upload your records to a developer-operated server. Apple services, website hosting, support correspondence and destinations you choose for sharing can process information outside your region under their own practices.
If a future release ever changes how the app handles data — for example, if a later version ever introduces any sync, analytics, or third-party integration — we will update this policy and surface the change in the app before that feature becomes available. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.

On iOS 17 and later, the Calendar action requests write-only access and does not import existing events. The app writes the deadline title, event date and time, and any notes to your system calendar. The reminder’s optional local notification is managed separately in the app. In the updated app, you can add a Calendar event after saving the reminder. Calendar events may sync to a calendar-account provider or be visible to people sharing that calendar. These Calendar copies are outside the app’s local database and App Lock; deleting an app record or uninstalling the app does not guarantee removal of every calendar or synced copy. Manage those copies in Calendar and the relevant account.
These legal pages are hosted on Vercel. Opening a page sends ordinary request information, such as the IP address, browser information and requested URL, to the host for delivery and security; see Vercel’s Privacy Notice. This website request is separate from App record storage. If you email support, we receive the address and information you choose to send so we can respond. Send only the details needed for that request.
The updated App pauses the normal record interface if its persistent database cannot be opened and only a temporary in-memory store is available. New recording and editing through that interface are blocked. The App keeps the existing database rather than treating the temporary empty store as your archive. Database-dependent startup work in that interface is paused; previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots or independent copies may remain.
Check available device storage, close and reopen the App, and contact support before deleting or reinstalling it. This recovery screen is not a backup, a repair guarantee or an automatic restoration of missing records. Older installed versions may behave differently until updated.
Updated woodland, stand, activity, plan-goal and reminder forms report saving or deletion failures and stay open for retry. Their affected stored values and relationships are restored; notification changes and completion callbacks follow successful saving. Onboarding saves the woodland before the optional first-stand step. If the stand save fails, the woodland remains saved and the stand fields remain temporary form input; setup is not marked complete. Unsaved form values can be lost when the App closes.
