Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2025

Mircules ("we," "our," or "us") operates the HAM QuickLog mobile application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

Information We Collect

HAM QuickLog is designed to respect your privacy. We collect minimal information necessary for the app to function:

  • Log Data: Callsign information, QSO details, frequencies, signal reports, and other amateur radio contact information you enter
  • Location Data: GPS coordinates for your QSOs (only when you explicitly enable location services)
  • User Preferences: App settings, templates, and customization choices stored locally on your device
  • Device Information: iOS version, device type, and app version for troubleshooting and optimization
  • Contact Information: Email address only when you contact us for support

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Service's core logging functionality
  • Enable ADIF import and export features (data remains on your device)
  • Save your preferences and settings locally on your device
  • Provide customer support when you contact us
  • Improve app performance, fix bugs, and optimize the user experience
  • Develop new features based on anonymized usage patterns
  • Understand how users interact with the app through analytics

Data Storage and Security

Local Storage: All your ham radio log data is stored locally on your device. We do not store your logs on our servers, and we do not have access to your log data unless you explicitly share it with us for support purposes.

iCloud Sync (Optional): If you enable iCloud synchronization, your log data is stored in your personal iCloud account. This data is encrypted and secured by Apple, and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not have access to your iCloud data.

Security: The security of your data is important to us. We use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Analytics and Performance Monitoring

To help us understand how users interact with HAM QuickLog and to improve app performance, we use Google Firebase Analytics.

Firebase Analytics collects:

  • Device Identifiers: A unique identifier for your device to track usage patterns across sessions
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the app, including screen views, button taps, and feature usage
  • Device Information: iOS version, device model, and app version
  • Performance Data: App launch times, screen load times, and other performance metrics

How we use Firebase Analytics data:

  • Understand which features are most popular and useful
  • Identify and fix bugs and performance issues
  • Plan new features based on usage patterns
  • Improve overall app stability and user experience

This data is collected automatically when you use the app and is linked to your device identifier. We do not use this data for advertising purposes, and we do not sell this data to third parties.

Firebase Analytics is provided by Google LLC. Google's use of data collected through Firebase is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can learn more about how Google uses data at: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Opting Out: Analytics collection is enabled by default to help us improve the app. Currently, there is no in-app option to disable analytics, but you can limit ad tracking on your iOS device through Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

Third-Party Services

QuickLog may integrate with third-party services when you explicitly request it:

  • Google Firebase Analytics: For app usage analytics and performance monitoring (see Analytics and Performance Monitoring section above)
  • QRZ.com: When you choose to look up callsign information
  • HamQTH.com: When you choose to import operator information
  • Clublog: When you choose to upload or sync your logs
  • eQSL: When you choose to submit QSL confirmations
  • OpenStreetMaps: When viewing location information on maps
  • Apple Services: iCloud for optional data sync, StoreKit for in-app purchases

Except for Firebase Analytics (which collects data automatically), we do not automatically share your data with these services. Integration only occurs when you explicitly choose to use these features. Each service has its own privacy policy that governs their use of data.

Data Sharing and Sale

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your ham radio log data remains private and under your control. We may share anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you personally for app improvement purposes only.

Data Retention

Your log data is retained on your device until you choose to delete it. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed from your device. iCloud data (if sync is enabled) follows Apple's retention policies and remains in your iCloud account until you delete it. Analytics data collected by Firebase is retained according to Google's data retention policies.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information.

You have the right to:

  • Access: View all data stored in the app at any time
  • Export: Export your log data in ADIF format whenever you choose
  • Correct: Edit or correct any inaccurate information in your logs
  • Delete: Remove individual log entries or all data by deleting logs within the app or uninstalling the app
  • Opt-Out: Disable location services, iCloud sync, or any optional features in the app settings
  • Withdraw Consent: Stop using any third-party integrations at any time

If you are in the European Union, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Right to access your personal data
  • Right to rectification of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
