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 is 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.
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?
It is a static table bundled inside the app and updated through ordinary App Store releases. The required-acreage thresholds, plan requirements, and filing cycles by state are rule-based on-device content drawn from publicly available state regulations. Nothing about viewing it is sent anywhere, and it is general information only — not 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?
No. Acrewood declares no iCloud entitlement and has no CloudKit container, no account server, and no connection to any forestry platform, agency, or third party. The management-history PDF you generate is handed to the iOS Share Sheet for you to send wherever you choose; Acrewood does not transmit it.
aps-environment entitlement.Acrewood offers an optional Pro tier (an annual subscription and a one-time Lifetime purchase) via Apple's StoreKit 2. When you subscribe, restore a purchase, or when the app verifies your entitlement, your device communicates directly with Apple. Acrewood receives only the entitlement status and a purchase identifier — never your Apple ID, payment method, or transaction history. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
You can revoke either permission 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.
Because all data is stored only on your device, you control retention completely. To delete all Acrewood data, delete the app (and remove it from any iOS Backups you have saved). There is no remote copy for us to delete.
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 transfers your data nowhere because it transfers your data nowhere.
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.
