Hatch Track Privacy Policy

Draft product policy ยท updated August 31, 2026

Hatch Track stores only the information needed to provide incubation, flock, photo, cloud-sync, and optional sensor features.

What we store

Account identifiers, hatch and flock records, settings, photos you choose to upload, and optional sensor readings. Device-local data may remain on your device when you are signed out.

Photos

Uploaded photos are compressed by the app before cloud storage. This recompression removes ordinary camera metadata such as embedded GPS from the uploaded copy.

Sensors

Detailed sensor readings are retained for up to 90 days. Hourly summaries may be retained longer so historical trends remain useful without storing every raw reading indefinitely.

Third-party services

Hatch Track currently uses Vercel for website hosting and Supabase for authentication, database, file storage, and backend functions. Reusable breed-reference images may be delivered from Wikimedia Commons and retain source/license attribution.

Your controls

You can export your Hatch Track data. Signed-in users can permanently delete their Hatch Track cloud account and associated cloud data from Settings.

Security

Cloud traffic uses HTTPS. Database rows and private photo storage use account-based access controls. No security system can guarantee absolute protection.

Changes

This policy may be updated as Hatch Track gains new features or service providers. Material changes should be reflected here before those features are broadly released.
