Riverio collects only the information needed to provide river monitoring, account sync, preferred water settings, notes, alerts, and notifications.

If you sign in, we may collect:

You may also use Riverio without signing in for features that do not require account sync or cloud alerts.

Riverio may store content and preferences you create in the app, including:

Some of this information may be stored locally on your device. If you sign in or enable sync-related features, it may also be stored in our backend so it can sync across devices.

If you enable notifications, Riverio may collect and store:

We use Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notification service to deliver notifications. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.

Riverio may request access to your location to center the map on your current area. Your location is used for this app feature. Riverio does not require location access to use the app, and you can deny or disable location permission in iOS Settings.

Riverio displays river, station, measurement, map, and weather information collected from public or third-party data sources and app services. This data describes rivers, stations, water levels, flow, temperature, and related conditions. It is not generally personal information unless combined with your account-specific preferences, favorites, notes, or alerts.

Riverio may receive technical information necessary to operate the app and backend services, such as network request metadata, device/app identifiers used by third-party infrastructure, and error information. We use this information to keep the service reliable and secure.

Local app data may remain on your device until you delete it, sign out and choose to remove it, delete the app, or erase your device data.

If you created an account, you can request account deletion from within the app. Account deletion removes synced Riverio account data such as favorites, preferred water settings, notes, alert rules, and notification device records associated with your account.

Some local-only data may remain on your device unless removed through the app, by signing out with local removal, or by deleting the app.

Riverio is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Riverio, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Information may be processed in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where appropriate.
