Privacy Policy for Wakefield Bins

// Last Updated: 29th December 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the "Wakefield Bins" app ("we", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy applies to your use of the App on iOS and Android devices.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. What Data We Collect

We believe in data minimization. We only collect and process data that is strictly necessary for the App to function.

Location Data (Address & Postcode): You voluntarily enter your address and postcode into the App to find your bin collection schedule.
Calendar Data: If you choose to use the "Add to Calendar" feature, the App requires permission to access your device’s calendar to save reminder events.

3. How We Use Your Data

Address/Postcode: This data is used solely to query the public Wakefield Council website to retrieve your bin collection dates.
Calendar Access: This permission is used exclusively to write (save) bin collection reminders to your personal calendar application. We do not read, view, or share your existing calendar events.

4. Where Your Data is Stored

We do not store your data on external servers.

Local Storage: Your address and recent search history are stored locally on your own device using your phone's internal memory (SharedPreferences).
No Cloud Sync: We (the developer) do not have access to your address, postcode, or calendar entries. They never leave your phone, except as described in Section 6.

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others.

Wakefield Council: When you perform a search, your postcode is sent directly from your device to the Wakefield Council’s public website (www.wakefield.gov.uk) via an encrypted connection (HTTPS) to fetch the schedule. This is necessary to provide the service.
No Analytics: The App does not currently use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to track your behavior.

Privacy Policy for Rent Resolve

// Last updated: 7 January 2026

1. Introduction

Rent Resolve respects your privacy and is designed to minimise the personal data it uses. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app uses, how it is stored, your rights under UK data protection law, and the limits of the app’s responsibility.

2. What data the app uses

Rent Resolve allows you to enter information related to rental issues, including:

Issue descriptions
Dates and timeline events
Notes
Photos
Optional reminders

All information is entered voluntarily by you and is used solely to help you organise, document, and manage renting-related issues.

3. Where your data is stored

All data is stored locally on your device.

Rent Resolve does not upload your data to external servers
No user accounts are created or required
The developer does not have access to the information you enter

If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data will be permanently removed from your device. You are responsible for exporting or backing up any information you wish to keep before uninstalling.

4. Data sharing

Rent Resolve:

Does not sell your data
Does not share your data with third parties
Does not use advertising, tracking, or data brokerage services

If you choose to export or share information (for example, an evidence pack), this action is initiated by you and remains under your control.

5. Notifications and permissions

Some optional features, such as reminders, require permission to send notifications. You can grant or withdraw these permissions at any time using your device’s system settings.

6. UK GDPR and your rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have rights relating to personal data.

Because Rent Resolve stores data locally on your device and does not collect or process it centrally:

You remain in full control of your data
Deletion can be achieved by removing content within the app or uninstalling it
No access, correction, or portability requests are required to us, as we do not hold your data

7. Changes to this policy

If Rent Resolve’s data handling changes in future (for example, if cloud storage, synchronisation, or user accounts are introduced), this policy will be updated clearly and transparently.
