Privacy Policy
HIMA is a community protection app for explosive ordnance. It is designed so that you can report without revealing who you are. This page explains, in plain language, what the app collects, what it does not collect, and how reports are kept.

What the app collects
An anonymous account, created automatically
An anonymous account is created automatically the first time the app opens. It holds no name, email address or phone number — only a random identifier. It exists so that reports can be securely tied to a device without identifying anyone.
When you file a hazard report
- The hazard type.
- An optional free-text note.
- GPS coordinates and their accuracy.
- A place label.
- Optional photos.
- The time of the report.
- Whether you chose to remain anonymous.
A full account — optional
If, and only if, you choose to create a full account, an email address and password are stored. This is never required to file a report.
Stored on your device
- Your own reports and your pending queue.
- Display preferences, such as large-text mode.
- The login token is stored in the device keychain (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore).
What the app does not do
- No advertising, no tracking, no analytics, no third-party marketing SDKs.
- It never accesses location in the background — only while the app is open, and only when reporting or viewing the map.
- It does not require a name, phone number or email to report a hazard.
- It does not read contacts, messages, or any other app's data.
How reports are protected
- Reports are stored in a secured database. Row-level security means each user can retrieve only their own reports; no user can read another user's.
- Photos go to a private storage area, not a public one.
- Once filed, a report cannot be edited or deleted from the app. This protects the integrity of hazard information.
- The public hazard map deliberately cannot be used to trace a hazard back to the report or to the person who filed it. That link is withheld at the database level, not merely hidden in the interface.
