StayedHome — Privacy Policy

Stays on your phone

Trips, gaps and unused items are saved only on your device.

No accounts

No sign up, no login, no profile. Just open the app and pack.

No tracking

No ads, no analytics, no data sold or shared with anyone.

1About this policy

StayedHome is a travel packing tracker. After each trip you mark what you needed but did not pack and what you packed but never used. The next trip of the same kind starts from those gaps.

This Privacy Policy explains what information the StayedHome app for iPhone handles, where it is kept and what choices you have. By using the app you agree to the practices described here.

2Information we collect

We do not collect personal information. StayedHome has no servers that receive your trips, and it does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, location, contacts, photos or payment details.

No account or registration is required.
No advertising identifiers are accessed.
No analytics, crash reporting or tracking tools are built into the app.
No tickets are booked and no purchases are processed inside the app.

3Data on your device

Everything you enter is stored locally in the app's private storage on your iPhone:

What	Examples	Where
Trips	Destination, dates, trip type (Cold, Heat, City, Overnight), notes	On device only
Marks	Items you missed or never used, the day, how much it hurt, bulky or light, notes	On device only
App settings	Whether the welcome screens were completed	On device only

Your device may include this app data in its own iCloud or computer backups if you have backups turned on. Those backups are managed by Apple under your Apple Account settings, not by us.

4How the data is used

The data you enter is used only inside the app to:

show the trip you are packing for and the gaps waiting from past trips of the same type;
close a gap when you pack the item for a new trip;
keep a ledger of open and closed gaps and a shelf of items you carried but never used;
remind you which unused items to leave at home next time.

6Network access

The app works fully offline. The only time it connects to the internet is when you open this Privacy Policy from the Shelf screen. The page is loaded from our website, and like any web server it may briefly process standard technical details such as your IP address and browser type to deliver the page. We do not use those details to identify you.

7Children

StayedHome is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8Retention and deletion

Your trips and marks stay on your device until you remove them. You can:

delete any item or trip inside the app, including the practice trip;
delete the app from your iPhone, which removes all of its data from the device.

9Your rights

Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR in the European Union and the United Kingdom or the CCPA in California give you the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data. Since we do not hold any of your data, you exercise these rights directly in the app. If you have a question about your rights, write to us using the details below.

10Security

Your data is protected by the security features of iOS, including app sandboxing and the device passcode encryption you set on your iPhone. We recommend keeping a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID turned on.

11Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
