Privacy Policy

What Fermory collects

Nothing. The Fermory app for iPhone and Android has no sign-up, no account and no server of ours to send anything to. It contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software. We don’t know who you are, what you ferment, or that you use the app at all.

Where your journal lives

Your batches, recipes, notes, measurements, reminders and photos are stored only on your device, in the app’s own storage. Photos you add are copied into the app; location data embedded in a photo is removed when it’s saved. Reminders are scheduled by your phone’s own notification system and never leave the device.

Your phone’s backup can include Fermory’s data: on iPhone through iCloud or a computer backup, on Android through Android’s backup service where your phone supports it. Those backups are run by Apple or Google under your account and their privacy terms — Fermory has no access to them.

Export and import

In Settings → Your data → Export everything, Fermory can write your whole journal to a single file. The file is created on your device and goes only where you send it with the share sheet. Importing reads a file you choose; nothing is fetched from the internet.

Purchases

Fermory Plus is sold through the App Store and Google Play. Apple or Google handle the payment and your billing details under their own privacy policies; we never see your name, email or payment information. The app asks the store whether your subscription is active and keeps that answer on the device.

Permissions

• Notifications — only if you turn on a reminder, so Fermory can nudge you to burp, feed or taste.
• Camera — only when you choose to take a photo of a batch.
• Photos — Fermory uses the system photo picker, so it sees only the photos you pick, not your library.

You can change or revoke any of these in your phone’s settings at any time.

Deleting your data

Settings → Your data → Delete all data removes everything from your device. Deleting the app does the same. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing to request from us, and nothing left behind on our side.

Children

Fermory doesn’t collect personal information from anyone, including children.

This website

fermory.app is a static site. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or third-party scripts; its fonts are served from this domain. Like any website, the company that hosts it may process technical request data — such as your IP address and browser type — to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We don’t use that data to identify you.

If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply to you.

Changes

If Fermory ever adds something that handles your data — like optional sync between devices — this policy will be updated before that feature ships, and the feature will be opt-in. The date at the top shows the latest revision.
