Last updated: May 10, 2026

FieldLab Research is designed as a private, local-first field data collection app. This privacy policy explains how the app handles data.

Data Collection

FieldLab Research does not collect personal data from users.

Your projects, custom forms, observations, and exported datasets are stored locally on your device. FieldLab Research does not sell, store, upload, share, or use your research data.

Local Storage

The app stores your project and observation data on your device so you can create projects, build forms, collect observations, and export datasets.

Exporting Data

If you choose to email, copy, save, or share an exported file, that action is handled by your device and the apps or services you choose to use.

FieldLab Research does not share your data with third parties.
