Stabler Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026 Effective from: 2 July 2026
This policy explains what personal information Stabler collects, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data. It's written in plain English. If anything's unclear, email support@stablerapp.com and we'll explain.
Who we are
Stabler is a horse management app for performance horse owners. We're operated by Rosanna Relton, based in Brisbane, Australia.
If you need to contact us about your privacy, email support@stablerapp.com.
A note on beta: Stabler is currently in beta. The service is under active development, which means features (and the data they handle) change more often than they would in a finished product. If a change affects what we collect or how we use it, we'll update this policy and let you know as described in "Changes to this policy".
For the purposes of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (and GDPR if you're in the EU/UK), Rosanna Relton is the data controller — the person responsible for deciding what data is collected and why.
What we collect
When you use Stabler, we collect the following:
Information you give us directly
- Your account details: email address, name (first name minimum), and password (handled securely by our platform provider, see "Where your data lives" below). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from your Google account; we never see your Google password.
- Your horses' information: stable name, registered name, breed, age, photos, microchip numbers, passport numbers, insurance details, financial information (purchase price, valuation), medical history, allergies, breeding/pedigree info
- Care provider contacts: names and contact details you enter for your vet, farrier, dentist, trainer, bodyworker, breeder, agent, or other care team members
- Schedules and events: care schedules, calendar events, tasks, completion dates
- Feed plans: feed ingredients, amounts, supplements, medications, dietary restrictions, rugging plans
- Notes: any notes you write on a horse's profile
- Feedback: anything you submit through the in-app feedback feature
- People you share horses with: email addresses of other users you give access to a horse
Information we collect automatically
- Basic usage data: which pages you visit, what features you use, when you log in. This helps us understand what's working and what's not.
- Device information: browser type, device type, screen size. Used to deliver the right version of the app for your device.
- Local storage on your device: small preferences like which view you last used, whether you've dismissed certain hints. Stored on your phone or browser only; we don't transmit these to our servers.
Information about other people
When you add a vet, farrier, or other contact to a horse profile, you're entering data about another person. By doing so, you confirm you have a legitimate reason to record their contact details (e.g., they're your service provider). We do not contact these people directly. Their information stays inside your account and is only shared with users you've granted access to that horse.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and operate the Stabler service
- Show you reminders for upcoming care (vet visits, farrier appointments, etc.)
- Let you share horse information with people you choose (trainers, vets, co-owners)
- Improve the app based on how people use it
- Respond to support requests
- Notify you about important changes to the service or this policy
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your data to:
- Sell advertising
- Sell your data to third parties
- Train AI models
- Profile you for marketing purposes
Who we share your data with
We only share your data in three situations:
1. People you choose to share with
When you share a horse with another Stabler user, they can see that horse's information and related records (care schedules, events, tasks, feed plans, notes), and can edit the day-to-day records (events, care schedules, tasks, feed plans) but not the horse's main profile. You control who you share with and can remove access at any time.
Sensitive sections (Ownership & Management, Insurance & Financial) are not displayed to people you share with.
2. Service providers we rely on to run Stabler
We use the following third-party services to operate Stabler:
- Base44 (platform provider): hosts the app, stores your data, handles authentication. Their privacy practices apply to data stored on their platform. See Base44's privacy policy for details.
- Email delivery (if applicable): we may use a service like Postmark or SendGrid to send transactional emails (sign-up confirmation, important account notifications). They process your email address only to deliver these messages.
We don't share your data with any other third parties for marketing, analytics, or any other purpose.
3. Legal obligations
We may disclose your data if required by law (e.g., a court order). We will tell you about any such request unless legally prevented from doing so.
Where your data lives
Your data is stored on Base44's cloud infrastructure. Base44 may host and replicate data across regions, including outside Australia, for reliability and performance.
If you are in the EU/UK, your data may be transferred outside the EEA. We rely on Base44's standard contractual clauses for these transfers.
How long we keep your data
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. If you delete your account:
- Your account, horses, and related records are deleted within 30 days
- Backups containing your data are retained for an additional 60 days in case of accidental deletion, then permanently removed
- Some metadata (e.g., aggregated usage statistics) may be retained in anonymised form
You can delete your account at any time from the Profile page in the app, or by emailing support@stablerapp.com.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act and (if applicable) GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you. We'll provide an export within 30 days of a request.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data. You can do this yourself in the app, or email us if you need help.
- Delete your account and data (right to erasure).
- Object to certain processing (e.g., if we ever introduce features you don't want to participate in).
- Withdraw consent at any time. This won't affect the lawfulness of processing we did before you withdrew consent.
- Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au) if you're unhappy with how we've handled your data. EU/UK users can lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email support@stablerapp.com.
Cookies and local storage
Stabler uses local storage on your device to remember small preferences (e.g., your view orientation on the Mix Feeds page, whether you've dismissed certain hints). This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
We may also use cookies provided by Base44 to keep you logged in. These are essential cookies and you cannot opt out without losing the ability to use the app.
We do not use third-party analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) or advertising cookies.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your data, including:
- All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS)
- Passwords are hashed (we never see them in plain text)
- Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only
- Base44 provides industry-standard infrastructure security
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever experience a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Australian Privacy Act.
Children
Stabler is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please email support@stablerapp.com and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will:
- Notify you in the app the next time you sign in
- Email you if we have your email address on file
- Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
If you continue to use Stabler after a change takes effect, that constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you don't agree to a change, you have the right to delete your account.
