1. Introduction
T.K Apps (“we”) respects your privacy when you use the iOS app “Trippacy” (the “App”). This policy explains how the App handles information.
The App does not send your photos or records to our servers. We do not operate any servers for the App, and no account is required.
2. Information Stored by the App
The App stores the following information on your device.
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Outings | Title, dates, memory notes, tags, and the photo used as the cover |
| Places visited | Place name, latitude and longitude, visit time, region names such as prefecture and country, and notes |
| Estimated route | Points connecting the places you visited in time order |
| Photo references | IDs that identify photos in the Photos app, capture dates, and capture coordinates |
| App settings | Display settings, backup settings, purchase status, and similar |
The App does not copy the photos themselves (image data). It refers to and displays the photos in the Photos app.
3. Photos and Photo Library Access
The App asks for access to your photo library when you use features such as “Create from Photos.” Before asking, it shows a screen explaining how photos are used. For the photos you allow, the App analyzes their capture date and location on your device to create the places you visited and an estimated route.
- All photo analysis happens on your device. Photos and analysis results are never sent outside the device.
- The App does not analyze the content of photos (such as people or objects).
- Even without access, you can add outings and places manually.
- You can change photo access at any time in the iPhone Settings app.
4. Maps and Place Names
The App uses Apple's MapKit to display maps and to look up place names from coordinates (reverse geocoding). For this, the coordinates of places you visited are sent to Apple. Apple handles this information according to Apple's Privacy Policy.
Place names are retrieved in the App's display language (English or Japanese). You can turn this off with Settings → “Get Place Names Automatically” in the App.
The App does not access your current location.
5. Ads and Tracking
The App shows ads to users who are not using Premium. Ads are delivered by Google AdMob. To show ads, measure their performance, and prevent fraud, the ad provider may collect device identifiers such as the advertising identifier (IDFA), an approximate region estimated from your IP address, information about ad views and interactions, and diagnostic information.
- Your outings, photos, and places visited are never used for ads or provided to ad providers.
- Full-screen ads are not shown until you have saved two outings.
- Whether ads are personalized is confirmed with you through App Tracking Transparency (ATT). If you don't allow tracking, non-personalized ads are shown.
- In regions such as the European Economic Area, consent is confirmed with Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You can change your choices in the App under Settings → “Ad Privacy Settings.”
6. Purchases
The App offers a paid plan, “Premium” (monthly and yearly subscriptions, and a lifetime purchase). In-app purchases are processed through Apple's App Store. We never collect or store payment information such as credit card numbers.
7. Backups
If “Include in Device Backups” is on in the App's Settings, the App's records are included in standard iOS backups, such as iCloud and computer backups. When it's off, they are excluded from backups. The App never stores your records in the cloud on its own.
Files created with “Export to JSON” contain your records, such as places and dates, without encryption. Please manage where you save and share them.
8. Information When You Contact Us
When you send an email from “Contact Us” in the App, the App version, iOS version, and device model are included in the message to help us investigate issues. You can review or delete them before sending. Emails are used only to respond to your inquiry.
9. Sharing with Third Parties
We do not provide your information to third parties without your consent, except as required by law or as handled by the third-party services described in this policy (Apple and Google).
10. Deleting Data
You can delete outings and places in the App. Deleting the App removes the App's data stored on your device. Photos in the Photos app are never deleted.
11. Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as needed. When we do, we will publish it on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
This English version is a translation. If there is any difference, the Japanese version prevails.
