Privacy Policy — Track-O-Tron

Track-O-Tron records where you go — for you, on your phone. We never see it.

The short version

Your tracks are stored on your iPhone and nowhere else. The app has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no purchases, and no third-party SDKs. The only data that ever leaves your device is a GPX file you deliberately export.

Location — the point of the app

Track-O-Tron asks for location access because recording your location is the product. While a recording is active, the app receives GPS fixes — including in the background, with the screen locked — and stores them as your track. Recording is always something you start and stop yourself, and iOS shows its standard indicator while background location is active.

Location data is processed on your device, stored on your device, and displayed on your device. It is never transmitted, and there is nowhere for it to be transmitted to.

What the app stores (on your device only)

Recorded tracks — the GPS points, statistics, and activity type of each recording you make
Your preferences — units, drive-icon vehicle, skin

All of it lives in the app's private storage. Deleting a track deletes its points; deleting the app deletes everything.

What leaves your device

Nothing — unless you explicitly export a track as a GPX file using the share sheet. Where that file goes (AirDrop, Files, email, another app) is entirely your choice, and the app neither knows nor cares.

One note on GPX files: a track of where you've been is sensitive by nature. Share it the way you'd share your home address, because if a track starts at your front door, it is your home address.

Things this app does not have

No analytics. No advertising. No tracking (of you — the trail is fair game). No accounts. No cloud sync. No third-party SDKs. No data sales, because there is no data here to sell. Track-O-Tron does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age, at any pace.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the app ever changes any of the above, this policy will be updated and the change will be called out in the App Store release notes.
