Feedcast Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-10-20
Feedcast — a hunting and fishing times app that calculates major and minor feed windows, sunrise, sunset and moon phase for your spots from the positions of the moon and sun, and lets you log sightings and catches ("the app") — is provided by DDJ A1 ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how. Feedcast has no account system and we do not operate a server for it.
Data stored on your device
Your saved spots (names and coordinates), your field logs (time, type, spot and notes), your hunting/fishing mode and your app settings are stored only on your device and are not transmitted to us. All feed-time calculations run on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes this data from your device. Android's standard app backup may include this data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.
Location
If you allow it, the app reads your device's approximate location once, when you choose "Use my location", to set the coordinates of a spot. The app itself does not send this location to us or anywhere else; it is saved only as that spot's coordinates on your device. Separately, the advertising SDK described below may collect approximate location as explained in "Information collected automatically". You can decline the location permission and add spots by searching a place name or typing coordinates instead.
When you search for a place by name, the text you type is passed to your device's built-in geocoding service (provided by Google on most Android devices) to find matching places. Your location is not included in that search.
Permissions the app asks for and why
- Approximate location (optional). To set a spot at your current location, as described above.
- Notifications (optional). For a morning note with today's best window at your spot and an evening note for tomorrow. You can decline; the rest of the app keeps working.
- Run at startup. So the daily notes are restored after your phone restarts.
- Vibration. For notification vibration, which you can turn off in the app's Settings.
- Internet access and the advertising identifier (AD_ID). Used by the advertising components described below and by place-name search. Calculating feed times does not need the internet.
Information collected automatically
When you use the app, certain information may be collected automatically by third-party SDKs used for advertising. This may include:
- Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address, which may be used to estimate your approximate (general) location
- Device or other identifiers, such as your device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and app set ID
- App interactions, such as session time, screens viewed, and ad views and taps
- Crash logs and diagnostic information, such as the mobile operating system and device model you use and ad performance data
This information is collected by the advertising SDK and shared with Google (AdMob) and its advertising partners for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance purposes. It is encrypted in transit. The app itself does not send your spots or field logs off your device, and we do not link the advertising data to them.
Advertising
The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of most screens (never on the screens where you add a spot or a log), an ad when the app starts, and full-screen ads only at natural pauses (after you save a log or a spot). To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may access your device's Advertising ID and the information described above. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown instead. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads), and you can change your consent choice from the app's Settings screen.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use partners' apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Children
Feedcast is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Because your data exists only on your device, you are in direct control of it: you can delete any spot or log in the app at any time, and uninstalling the app removes everything completely. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA in California), you may also have rights regarding data processed by advertising SDKs; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings described above.
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new effective date.
