Sale of credits

Privacy policy

Forest Assist is a field app for forest management and inventory, published by ELAN IT CONSEIL. Your field data belongs to you: it stays on your iPhone, and we have no access to it.

What we do not collect

The app:

creates no account and requires no sign-in;
sends no data to any ELAN IT CONSEIL server: we run none;
includes no analytics, advertising or tracking tools;
neither sells nor shares any data with third parties.

Your field data stays on the device

Estates, parcels, tracks, observations, trees, plots, photos and voice notes are stored only on your iPhone. They leave it only if you choose to export or share them (Excel workbook, KML, backup, email, AirDrop, iOS share sheet).

To provide its features, the app asks for access to the following iPhone features, each with your permission:

Location (including in the background): recording tracks, positioning observations and measurements, recognising the estate and parcel you are in;
Camera: observation photos and videos, compass sighting, LiDAR measurements;
Photo library: displaying and saving your photos and videos;
Microphone and speech recognition: voice notes, transcribed on the iPhone, without sending your voice anywhere;
Contacts: at your initiative, copying a contact's details into an estate's record;
Motion: iPhone orientation for the compass.

What goes through Apple

Three features rely on Apple services, governed by Apple's privacy policy:

Your credits, through iCloud. Your credit balance — the number of credits purchased and used, and a random identifier specific to each device, unrelated to your identity — is stored in your iCloud account, so that your credits follow you from one device to another. It contains no field data. This information is stored by Apple in your account; ELAN IT CONSEIL has no access to it. Without iCloud, credits stay on the device.
Buying credits, through the App Store. Credits are sold by Apple, which processes the payment and sends you the receipt (see the terms of sale). ELAN IT CONSEIL receives neither your contact details nor your payment data; Apple only provides it with aggregated sales reports.
Base maps, through Apple Maps. The maps shown in the app are provided by Apple: to display them, the iPhone requests from Apple the images of the area you are viewing, just as the Maps app does.

Deletion

You can delete your data at any time from within the app, or by uninstalling the app, which removes all data from the device. Your credit balance, kept in your iCloud account, is not erased by uninstalling: this is what lets you recover it when you reinstall the app.
