This Privacy Policy explains how the Hydro Glide Android application handles information when you use the app.
1. Introduction
HYDRO GLIDE LTD respects your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how the Hydro Glide Android application handles information when you use the app.
Country: United Kingdom
Privacy and support contact: support@hydroglide.online
2. Current Privacy Approach
Hydro Glide is designed as a primarily local, permission-free application.
The current version does not require an account and is not configured with a Hydro Glide server or backend for synchronising user activity.
Core app features operate using information stored locally on the user's device.
3. Information Collected by the App
The current version of Hydro Glide does not automatically collect or transmit personal information to HYDRO GLIDE LTD through the app.
The app does not automatically collect your precise location, contacts, photographs, microphone recordings, device files, payment-card information or advertising identifiers.
The app does not include advertising, behavioural advertising, analytics tracking or account-registration functionality in its current implementation.
4. Information Stored Locally
Some information is stored locally on your device so that app features can continue working between sessions.
This may include favourites, saved services, launch-check progress, app settings, notification read or unread states, locally created booking or service-request details, trip information, recently used planning options and other app preferences.
This information remains within the app's local storage unless you intentionally use a feature that transfers information to another application or service.
HYDRO GLIDE LTD does not receive locally stored app information merely because you use these features.
5. GlideScore and Planning Information
The GlideScore feature processes planning selections locally.
GlideScore is provided as an organisational and preparation tool. It is not a safety assessment, safety certification, live weather service, tide service, navigation service or professional water-safety recommendation.
Planning selections used by GlideScore are not automatically transmitted to HYDRO GLIDE LTD.
6. Permissions
The current version of Hydro Glide does not request dangerous Android runtime permissions.
In particular, the app is not designed to request access to your precise location, camera, microphone, contacts, photographs, media library or general device storage.
The current implementation is also designed so that its main locally stored content and bundled animation assets do not depend on remote downloads.
If the application's permission requirements change in a future version, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those changes.
7. External Email and Contact Actions
Hydro Glide may provide an option that opens your device's email application so you can contact HYDRO GLIDE LTD.
Opening an external email application does not itself send information to us.
If you choose to compose and send an email to support@hydroglide.online, the information you include in that email will be transmitted through your chosen email provider and received by HYDRO GLIDE LTD.
Your email provider operates under its own privacy terms and policies.
Information voluntarily sent to HYDRO GLIDE LTD may be used to respond to your enquiry, provide support, investigate an issue or maintain necessary business correspondence.
8. External Links
The app may allow you to open relevant external content using another application, such as your web browser or email client.
Once you leave Hydro Glide, the privacy practices of the external application, website or service apply.
HYDRO GLIDE LTD is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services that you independently choose to open.
9. Third-Party Libraries
Hydro Glide uses Android software libraries required to provide its interface, compatibility features and animations.
The current implementation uses locally bundled app resources and animations and does not intentionally configure these libraries to transmit Hydro Glide user information for advertising, profiling or analytics.
If future versions introduce a service that collects or transmits user data, the app's disclosures, Google Play Data Safety information and this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
10. Payments
The current app does not process credit-card, debit-card, digital-wallet or online-gateway payments.
Where payment information is relevant to a displayed service, the app may indicate cash payment at the applicable venue or service location.
No payment-card information is collected or stored by Hydro Glide.
11. Data Sharing
HYDRO GLIDE LTD does not sell personal data collected through the current version of the app.
Because the current app does not automatically transmit locally stored app data to HYDRO GLIDE LTD, such local information is not shared by HYDRO GLIDE LTD with advertisers or data brokers.
Information you voluntarily send through an external service, such as email, will necessarily be processed by the external service used to transmit that communication.
12. Data Retention
Locally stored app information normally remains on your device until it is removed through an available in-app action, the application's data is cleared through Android settings, or the application is uninstalled.
Support emails or other communications voluntarily sent to HYDRO GLIDE LTD may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to answer the enquiry, resolve a support matter, maintain appropriate business records or satisfy applicable legal obligations.
13. Data Deletion
Because the current app does not create a Hydro Glide online account, there is no server-side Hydro Glide account to delete.
You may remove locally stored application information by using relevant delete or reset functionality where available, clearing Hydro Glide's application data through Android settings, or uninstalling the app.
If you have voluntarily sent personal information to HYDRO GLIDE LTD through email and would like to request deletion of that information, contact:
We will assess legitimate deletion requests subject to applicable legal and record-retention requirements.
14. Security
Hydro Glide is designed to minimise data exposure by keeping its core user-generated app state locally on the device.
We take reasonable measures to design and maintain the application responsibly. However, no device, software environment, communication system or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should also maintain appropriate security controls on their own devices.
15. Children's Privacy
Hydro Glide is not specifically designed or directed toward children.
The app does not intentionally request personal information from children through an account-registration system.
Parents or guardians should supervise minors when using applications related to water activities and should independently assess whether any activity is appropriate.
16. Water Activity and Safety Information
Hydro Glide provides organisational, reference and planning features.
The app does not provide emergency services, professional safety certification, live navigation, live weather information, live tide information or guarantees regarding water conditions.
Users are responsible for checking appropriate official information, local regulations, current conditions, equipment readiness and professional guidance where necessary.
17. Your Choices
You can choose whether to save information within the app, add favourites, complete planning tools or send external communications.
You may remove locally stored information through available app controls or Android application-management settings.
You can choose not to send an email or open an external service.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
HYDRO GLIDE LTD may update this Privacy Policy when the application's functionality, technology, legal requirements or data practices change.
When significant changes are made, the effective date of this Privacy Policy will be updated.
The privacy disclosures should always correspond to the behaviour of the version of Hydro Glide that is currently distributed.
