Privacy
This page describes how the Vawex app handles information on the iPhone where it is installed. Vawex is a catch journal for bends, outings, and sink counts.
What stays on the iPhone
Bend names, water kind, depth notes, outing dates, weather words, tide words, species, sink counts, length, weight, bait, kept or slipped marks, notes, photographs, and voice notes are written into the app's documents folder. Swivel balances and purchase transaction identifiers used to avoid a double credit are stored there as well.
Vawex does not create an account and does not upload the journal to a Vawex server.
Camera
The camera is used when you photograph a fish on the stringer or the water at a bend. The picture is redrawn before it is saved so location data from the camera file is not kept with the journal photo.
Photos
Choosing a picture lets you attach an existing photo to a fish. Saving a photo writes that picture into Photos when you tap Save photo. Vawex asks for that permission at the moment you use the button.
Microphone
The microphone records a short voice note for an outing. Vawex plays that recording back. It does not turn the recording into text.
Notifications
After you continue from the welcome screen, Vawex asks the system for notification permission. Vawex does not schedule fishery alerts.
Purchases
Optional Swivel packs are sold by Apple. Apple handles the payment. Vawex receives the product identifier and a transaction identifier so a completed purchase can add the matching pack once.
Clear Data
Clear Data on the vest screen removes the bends, fish, photographs, voice notes, and remaining Swivels stored by Vawex on that iPhone and returns to the welcome screen.
