Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the Power Prepper mobile application ("the App"), developed by Power Prepper LLC, handles information.

The short version

Power Prepper is offline-first. We operate no servers and do not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal data. Your searches, AI answers, photos you analyze, saved items, and everything you enter stay on your device. One optional feature — News — connects to the internet only when you tap Refresh, to download public news and hazard headlines directly from their publishers.

Information we do NOT collect

We operate no servers that receive your data. We do not collect your name, email, location history, contacts, search queries, photos, or usage analytics. The App requests no account and no sign-in.

Data stored on your device

Some features store data locally on your device only — for example saved passages, waypoints, checklists, your medical profile and emergency contacts, and learning progress. This data never leaves your device and is removed when you delete it or uninstall the App.

Device permissions

The App may ask for certain permissions to enable features you choose to use:

• Camera — to take photos for on-device plant, mushroom, and creature identification. Images are processed locally and are not uploaded.
• Location (GPS) and sensors — for the offline compass, navigation, and coordinate features. Your location is used on-device only and is not transmitted or stored by us.
• Microphone — for hands-free voice search, processed on-device.

You can deny or revoke any of these in your device settings; the related feature will simply be unavailable.

Internet access

The App is offline-first and needs no connection for its core features. There are two times it may use the internet, both only at your explicit request:

• News refresh — when you open News and tap "Refresh", the App downloads the latest articles directly from public sources (BBC, NPR, Al Jazeera, USGS earthquakes, and the CDC). It connects only when you tap Refresh, asks for your consent the first time, sends nothing about you beyond an ordinary web request, and stores the articles only on your device. We operate no server in between.
• External links — if you tap a link such as "Find the book", the App hands off to your browser. We do not control third-party sites you open this way.

Children

The App is a general-audience survival reference and is not directed at children.

Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version.
