Traceata Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 9, 2026

We collect nothing

Traceata has no accounts, no servers, no analytics, and no advertising. We do not receive, store, or process any of your data. There is nothing to breach, sell, or subpoena. We simply don't have it.

What stays on your iPhone

Your recorded tracks, trip notes and titles, saved places, and your app settings are stored only on your device, inside the app's private storage.

Traceata doesn't copy, import or store your photos and videos. If you allow access, it uses Apple's Photos framework to display the photos and videos from your library that were taken during a trip's time frame. They stay in your Photos library, and Traceata only reads them on your device to show them with the trip.

If you back up your iPhone, to iCloud or to your computer, the app's data is included in that backup like any other app's data. That backup is yours, encrypted, between you and Apple. We never see it.

Photos

If you let the trip map show photos from your Photo Library, Traceata reads them in place to match them to a trip's time window. Photos are not copied into the app and never uploaded anywhere.

Maps

Map imagery is loaded from Apple Maps and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. Your recorded coordinates are never sent to us, or to anyone else, by Traceata.

Sharing

Exports and the iOS share sheet happen only when you tap them. Once you share something, that copy is governed by wherever you sent it.

Children

Traceata does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13, because it does not collect data from anyone at all.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Given the app's design, any change would be to describe something we started doing, which would also be described in the app itself.
