Privacy Policy

            The short version: Mylage does not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any server. Your location data never leaves your device unless you choose to sync via iCloud, in which case it is encrypted and handled entirely by Apple.
        

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Mylage is designed from the ground up to protect your privacy. We do not collect:

Your name, email address, phone number, or any personal identifiers
Your location data, GPS coordinates, or travel history
Device identifiers, advertising IDs, or fingerprints
Usage analytics, crash reports, or behavioral data
Any data from your contacts, photos, calendar, or other apps

There is no account creation, no sign-up, and no login. The app works entirely without identifying you.

2. Data Stored on Your Device

Mylage stores the following data locally on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework:

Trip records — start/end times, distance, route points, transport mode, and location names
Daily summaries — aggregated distance totals for each day
Saved places — locations you manually name (e.g., "Home", "Office")
App preferences — your settings such as distance unit, daily goal, and animation choices

This data is stored in the app's private sandbox on your device. No other app can access it. It is not transmitted to us or any third party.

3. Location Services

Mylage uses your device's location services to detect and record trips. You control this permission:

"While Using" — the app only accesses location when open
"Always" — the app can detect trips in the background (recommended for automatic tracking)
"Never" — location is disabled; the app cannot track trips

Your location data is processed entirely on-device. It is never sent to our servers because we do not have servers. Location coordinates are used to calculate distances and, optionally, to reverse-geocode place names using Apple's on-device geocoding API.

4. iCloud Sync

If you have iCloud enabled on your device, Mylage may sync your trip data across your Apple devices using Apple's CloudKit framework. This sync is:

Encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple
Stored in your private iCloud account — only you can access it
Not accessible to us — we cannot read, access, or decrypt your iCloud data

You can disable iCloud sync for Mylage in your device's Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Apps Using iCloud.

5. Reverse Geocoding

When a trip ends, Mylage may use Apple's CLGeocoder API to convert GPS coordinates into human-readable place names (e.g., "Walmart", "123 Main St"). This request is sent to Apple's servers and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not operate or control these servers.

6. Third-Party Services

Mylage does not include any third-party analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs. Specifically:

No Google Analytics, Firebase, or Amplitude
No Facebook SDK or Meta Pixel
No ad networks or data brokers
No crash reporting services (Crashlytics, Sentry, etc.)

The only external dependencies are Apple's own frameworks (MapKit, CloudKit, CoreLocation) and the open-source Lottie animation library, which does not collect any data.

7. In-App Purchases

Mylage offers optional Pro features via in-app purchase. Transactions are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details.

8. Children's Privacy

Mylage does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from any user, there is no age-specific data to protect. The app does not require an account and does not collect identifiers.

9. Data Export and Deletion

You have full control over your data:

Export — You can export your trip history as a CSV file at any time from the app's History screen
Delete — You can delete individual trips or all data from within the app
Uninstall — Deleting the app removes all locally stored data immediately

10. Changes to This Policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page and change the "Last updated" date above. Since we don't have your contact information, we encourage you to review this page periodically.

            Apple App Privacy Label: Mylage's App Store privacy label states "Data Not Collected" — because we genuinely collect no data. This isn't a marketing claim; it's the technical reality of how the app is built.
