Privacy Policy - Koelte

1) Who we are

Koelte ("Koelte: Poultry Heat Warning") is provided by Saifullah Ahad ("we", "us", "our"). Our website/portfolio is: https://saifullah.ai.

2) What this policy covers

Koelte is an offline-first agricultural utility designed for poultry farmers to predict dangerous heat stress inside chicken sheds and schedule timed ventilation, water, and feeding actions. This policy explains how information is handled.

3) Information we handle and privacy safeguards

Koelte does not collect, sell, or share personal data. The app has no user accounts, no profile requirements, no advertising SDKs, no analytics trackers, and no third-party tracking libraries.

Weather Forecast Requests: To compute heat danger curves, Koelte downloads public weather forecasts from Open-Meteo and MET Norway. To protect farmer privacy, coordinates sent to the weather service are always rounded to two decimal places (approximately a 1 km grid). Precise farm coordinates are never transmitted. Weather requests do not include user identifiers, phone numbers, shed names, or flock details.

Location Access (Optional): The app requests coarse location access (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) solely to detect your approximate agricultural district when you tap the GPS button in the setup wizard. You may decline location access and choose your town or enter coordinates manually without any loss of functionality.

4) On-device data storage

All shed dimensions, flock ages, bird weights, and daily observation reports remain on your device in the app's private storage. This data is never sent to us or any cloud server.

5) Notifications and reminders

Koelte schedules timely local reminders for critical heat actions (such as taking feed away 3 to 6 hours before afternoon peak heat). All alarm scheduling and notifications (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, POST_NOTIFICATIONS) are executed entirely on-device by Android AlarmManager and WorkManager. No external push messaging servers are used.

6) Farm backup and export

Koelte allows farmers to export a backup copy of their shed configurations and report logs. Backups are exported as plain text JSON files saved directly to storage locations you select or shared via the standard Android Sharesheet. We never have access to your backup files.

7) Children's privacy

Koelte is a farm management tool and does not knowingly collect any data from children.
