Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

DayTrace is provided by Antti Pasila, The Valley, Anguilla, B.W.I. ("we", "us"). Questions can be sent to info@getdaytrace.com.

2. What we collect

• Account data: email address or phone number. No name, passport, or government ID is required or stored.
• Location data: GPS coordinates collected periodically in the background while tracking is enabled. Coordinates are used solely to derive the country you are in and a daily day-count per jurisdiction.
• Usage data: standard server logs (IP address, request timestamps, error events) retained for up to 90 days for debugging and security.
• Payment data: processed entirely by the Apple App Store. We never see or store your card details.

3. How we use your data

• To provide the DayTrace service: counting your days and sending alerts at the day limits you set.
• To generate exports you request (CSV, PDF travel summary).
• To communicate service-related notices (never marketing without your consent).

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or analytics purposes.

We do use a few service providers to run DayTrace, and some of your data passes through them. To turn GPS coordinates into a country, our servers send the coordinates to a reverse-geocoding service (OpenStreetMap's Nominatim, with Google Maps Platform as a fallback), without your email address, account identifier or anything else that identifies you. Our servers run on Vercel and our database on Neon, both in Frankfurt. Password-reset emails are sent by Resend. Push notifications are delivered through Expo's push service and Apple's notification service. These providers handle data only to provide the service to us. Beyond them, your data leaves DayTrace only when you export it yourself.

4. Data storage and security

Your data is stored and processed in the European Union, in Frankfurt, Germany. Both the database and the servers that handle your requests run there. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and access is restricted to authorised personnel only.

No security measure is perfect. We take reasonable precautions, but we cannot guarantee that your data will never be accessed, disclosed, or altered by unauthorised parties. Use the service accordingly.

5. Data retention

We retain your account and location data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by emailing info@getdaytrace.com. We will delete your data within 30 days of the request.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. Email us at info@getdaytrace.com and we will respond within 30 days.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you via email if changes are material. Continued use of DayTrace after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
