Privacy Center

This policy covers Killarney Shorebook version 1.0.0 for Android. The publisher is Abbeyfield Golden Bay Incorporated, 162 Commercial Street, Takaka 7110, New Zealand.

Killarney Shorebook is an educational orientation companion for adults considering, visiting, supporting or volunteering around the Golden Bay shared-home setting. It offers preset reading, visual prompts and private preparation tools. It is not a housing application, vacancy feed, booking service, tenancy decision, eligibility assessment, care service or emergency tool.

Privacy questions may be directed to applications@abbeyfieldgb.org.nz. The app itself does not send email, open a mail client or transmit a request. Contact must be made separately outside the app.

The app does not ask for or collect a name, email address, phone number, precise location, photo, contact list, identifier, account credential, free-text note, health information, financial information or resident record.

No personal data is shared with or sold to Abbeyfield, advertisers, analytics providers, data brokers or other third parties because the app does not transmit personal data.

Preset garden lenses, town steps, observation moments, hearth choices, transport choices, visit checklist items and reading preferences may be stored in Android SharedPreferences on the device. These selections are not labelled with a person’s identity and are used only to restore the local interface.

The app requests no dangerous Android permission. It does not request Internet, location, camera, microphone, contacts, phone, SMS, calendar, notification, nearby-device, storage or advertising-ID access.

The release contains no networking feature, WebView, advertising SDK, analytics SDK, crash-reporting SDK, social SDK, payment SDK, mapping SDK or cloud database. Source addresses are displayed as reference text and are not opened by the app.

The app contains no advertisements, sponsored placements, cross-app tracking, analytics events, fingerprinting or personalized content. It does not create or access an advertising identifier.

No account, sign-in, password, profile, membership record or identity verification is provided. The app does not connect to an Abbeyfield resident, volunteer, applicant or donor system.

Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer are disabled for app data. The app does not intentionally move local selections to another device.

Local selections remain until the user clears them with Reset this shorebook, clears app storage in Android settings or uninstalls the app. Reset removes the stored choices immediately from the app’s SharedPreferences.

The app minimizes risk by collecting no personal data, using no network connection and keeping only low-sensitivity preset selections in app-private storage. Device access remains governed by the user’s Android security settings.

The intended audience is adults aged 18 and over, especially older adults, adult family or support people, visitors and volunteers. The app is not designed for children, does not knowingly collect children’s data and includes no child-directed social or commercial feature.

The app does not diagnose, treat, monitor or prevent a health condition; store clinical information; provide nursing or personal care; or replace professional advice. Abbeyfield shared housing must not be represented as a nursing home through this app. For urgent safety, medical or emergency needs, use the appropriate local service rather than this app.

House, transport, visitor, availability, cost, eligibility and application arrangements may change. The app provides dated orientation material and requires users to confirm current information directly. Illustrations are interpretive and are not photographs or plans of the actual house.

Because the app does not receive personal data, it has no remote account record to access, correct, export or delete. A user can inspect and remove local choices at any time. Questions about information handled outside the app should be directed to the relevant organization or service.

This policy is effective 7 August 2026. Material changes to data practices require an updated app policy, public policy page, Google Play Data safety disclosure and release review. Contact: applications@abbeyfieldgb.org.nz.
