In short

NovyDeco creates no account, runs no server and sends no personal data to the publisher. Your plans, settings and logbook are stored on your device only.

Data stored on the device

The app stores locally your settings (gradient factors, ppO₂, units, theme), your plans and your logbook (trips, dives, buddies, equipment, imported profiles). This data leaves the device only when you export it yourself (file or PDF). Uninstalling the app deletes it.

Subscription

The free trial and the yearly subscription are handled by your device's store: Google Play Billing on Android, the App Store on iPhone. The store processes the payment and provides receipts; NovyDeco receives neither your identity nor your payment details, only the subscription state (active or not). The date of first launch is kept on the device to compute the trial period.

Bluetooth

Importing from a dive computer uses Bluetooth. On Android, scanning for Bluetooth devices may require the location permission, which is not used to read any position. Data read from the computer (profiles, dates, temperatures) is saved in the local logbook.

Phone location

Only when you tap the location button on a dive site's card, NovyDeco reads the phone's position to offer to place that site. If you accept, the coordinates are saved in your logbook, on the device. No position is read in the background or sent to the publisher.

Network access

The app uses the Internet only at your request, to look up a dive site's coordinates: the site's name or the map area is then sent to the OpenStreetMap service (Nominatim and Overpass) and, for wrecks in French waters, to the Shom “Wrecks and obstructions” database (the French Navy's hydrographic and oceanographic service), with no data identifying you. Wreck positions come from that database (Source: Shom); they are used to locate a site and are not intended for navigation. Opening a site in a maps app hands it the site's coordinates. No analytics or tracking tool is embedded in the app.
