In short
My Travel Map runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad. It reads the date and location of the photos in your library to rebuild your travel history, and stores the result on the device. There is no account, no analytics and no server of ours. The only network request the app makes for your data is to Apple's geocoder, which receives a photo's coordinates and returns a place name. Apple's App Store privacy label for the app reads "Data Not Collected".
Information the app reads
Photo library
With your permission, the app reads two things from each photo, and nothing else:
- The date, to know which day you were somewhere
- The GPS coordinates saved in the photo, when there are any, to know which country
Photos are never uploaded, copied or sent anywhere. Full and limited Photos access both work; with limited access the app only sees the photos you chose. Thumbnails shown in the app are loaded from your library on demand.
Place names
Countries are matched on the device against bundled map boundaries. To show city names, the app asks Apple's built-in geocoder (part of iOS) for the place name of a photo's coordinates. Only the coordinates are sent, never the photo or anything that identifies you, and Apple's handling of that request is covered by Apple's privacy policy. Results are cached on your device so each place is looked up once.
Where your data lives
- On your device. Your days, stays, edits, memories and expenses are stored in the app's own files on your iPhone or iPad.
- Widgets. If you add a home-screen widget, the app shares a small summary with it through an app group on the same device.
- Device backups. Like any app's files, the app's data is included in your iCloud or computer backup if you have one turned on. That is your Apple backup, not a service of ours.
- Deleting. Remove individual days or expenses in the app, or delete the app to remove everything it stored.
Sharing and tracking
We do not collect, share, sell or transfer your data. There is nothing on our side to share.
- No analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not measure how you use the app.
- No crash-reporting SDK. Apple may share anonymised crash logs with us only if you opted in to that in iOS settings.
- No advertising and no data brokers.
- No account. We do not know who you are.
Pro purchases
Pro is sold through Apple's in-app purchase system. Apple handles payment, your payment details and the subscription itself; we never see them. The app checks your purchase status on the device to unlock Pro features. Manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings.
Apple services the app uses
- Photos, to read dates and coordinates.
- Maps, to draw the map; map tiles are fetched from Apple like in any maps app.
- Geocoding, to turn coordinates into city names.
- StoreKit, for Pro purchases.
These are governed by Apple's privacy policy. We do not add any third-party service.
What we never collect
- Email addresses
- Names or usernames
- Phone numbers
- Device identifiers
- Usage analytics
- Location tracking
- Browsing history
- Contacts
Your data, your control
- See it: everything the app knows is visible in the app.
- Change it: edit any day, stay or expense directly.
- Take it with you: export your days as CSV (free) or a full backup (Pro).
- Delete it: remove entries, or delete the app.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Since we have no way to contact you, notable changes are also mentioned in the App Store release notes.
