Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Trekova ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our iOS mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and designing our App so that your personal data stays on your device.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Trekova does not require you to create an account, and we do not operate external servers to collect, store, or sell your personal data. We do not use third-party advertising networks, analytics trackers, or tracking cookies.

2. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All places you save, including venue names, addresses, coordinates, categories, meal types, custom tags, ratings, personal notes, and visited status, are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. We do not have access to this data.

If you use iCloud Backup on your device, your local app data may be backed up to your personal iCloud account in accordance with your Apple device settings and Apple's Privacy Policy.

3. Location Information

With your explicit permission, Trekova accesses your device's location services solely to:

Your location data is processed on your device and through Apple's native location and mapping services. We do not record, store, or transmit your location history to any external server. You can enable or disable location access at any time in your iOS Settings.

4. Third-Party Services (Apple MapKit)

Trekova uses Apple MapKit to display map tiles, search for places, and calculate driving directions. When you search for a place or load map tiles, search queries and approximate map viewport data are processed by Apple in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

Because your saved places and notes are stored locally on your device, you remain in full control of your data at all times. You can edit or delete individual places within the App, or permanently delete all stored data by uninstalling Trekova from your device.

6. Children's Privacy

Trekova is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as new features are added to the App. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
