Stir Up Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 October 2026

This policy explains how SmeliStudios handles information in the Stir Up app. It is written for the current Stir Up release candidate. Stir Up is a local-first horse nutrition planning app for horse profiles, feed libraries, feed plans, bucket recipes, care notes, backups, and optional forage analysis imports.

Who Provides The App

Stir Up is published by SmeliStudios. For privacy or support questions, contact smelistudios@gmail.com.

Data Stored On Your Device

Stir Up does not require an account or subscription. Your horse data is stored locally on your own device by default. SmeliStudios does not run a Stir Up account system or backend service for syncing your app data.

Local data may include horses, feed plans, saved feeds, supplement details, bucket recipes, preparation notes, care notes, housing notes, settings, import drafts, forage analysis information, nutrition summaries, and user-created backup files.

Permissions

Stir Up only requests access to your camera, photos, or files when you choose features that need them, such as photographing or importing forage analyses, selecting horse photos, importing backups, or sharing exported data.

The app does not request permissions that are unrelated to its features.

Imports And Analyses

Forage analysis files, photos, screenshots, and PDFs are processed on your device for the features you choose to use. Stir Up does not need an account for this. Review imported values before relying on them, because source files, photos, and user-entered values may be incomplete or incorrect.

Internet Usage

Stir Up is designed as a local-first application. Internet access is only used for optional features, platform services, or future updates. Stir Up does not upload your horse data to SmeliStudios servers.

Sharing And Backups

When you choose to export a backup, share a report, or send a horse card, the file is created so you can share it using your device. You control where it goes. If you uninstall Stir Up without exporting a backup first, your locally stored data may be permanently lost.

Analytics And Advertising

The current Stir Up app does not use advertising SDKs or sell personal data. The SmeliStudios website uses lightweight, cookieless analytics for aggregate page views.

Deleting Data And Retention

Local app data remains on your device until you edit it, clear app storage through the operating system, or uninstall the app. Exported backup files remain wherever you saved or shared them and must be deleted separately by you.

Children's Privacy

Stir Up is intended as a practical tool for horse owners and carers. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect children's personal information through an account or backend service.

Changes To This Policy

SmeliStudios may update this policy when Stir Up changes or when legal requirements change. The last updated date above will be changed when this page is updated.

If you have questions about privacy, feedback about Stir Up, or general questions about how your data is handled, please contact smelistudios@gmail.com.
