Privacy Policy

Effective October 15, 2026

Who we are

Location Ledger is made by ReleaseTag LLC ("we", "us"). This policy covers the Location Ledger app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, and this website.

Data the app records

To build your location history, the app records the following on your device:

• Location coordinates and timestamps, captured through Apple's location services
• Addresses for those locations, such as street, city, state, and country
• The name and model of the device that captured each record
• Favorite places you create, including their names, icons, colors, and radius
• A log of changes to the app's location permission

This data is stored in the app's private storage on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync, it is also stored in your private iCloud database through Apple's CloudKit service, which we cannot access. iCloud storage is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Services that process data

Apple

• Address lookup. To turn coordinates into addresses, the app sends them to Apple's MapKit reverse geocoding service.
• iCloud. Besides optional sync, the app stores a randomly generated user ID and your first install date in iCloud key-value storage, so your free trial and subscription work across your devices.
• Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight. The names of your favorite places, cities, states, and countries are shared with iOS so Siri and Spotlight can find them. The Spotlight index stays on your device. Siri requests are handled by Apple.
• App Store. Apple processes all purchases. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in iOS Settings, Apple may share crash reports and aggregate usage statistics with us.

RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. RevenueCat receives the random user ID generated by the app, your purchase and subscription status from the App Store, and basic device and app information such as operating system, app version, and locale. Like any internet service, it also sees your IP address. RevenueCat does not receive your location history. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.

geoBoundaries

To draw state and country outlines on maps, the app downloads public boundary data from geoboundaries.org. Each request includes the code of the country being drawn, such as USA, and your IP address. It does not include your coordinates. Downloaded outlines are cached on your device.

Diagnostics

Starting with version 1.4, the app contains no third-party analytics or crash-reporting software. Earlier versions included a diagnostics SDK from ReleaseTag that could send error data, such as your IP address, device model, operating system version, app configuration, and the time of the error. That data never included your location history.

Notifications

The app may show notifications. They are created on your device and are not sent through our servers.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include. Messages sent with Send Feedback in the app include your random customer ID so we can look up your subscription. If you choose to send logs, they may contain location details. We use this information only to help you, and we'll delete it on request.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics, or advertising. It is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log basic request data such as IP addresses for security. See GitHub's Privacy Statement.

What we don't do

• We don't require an account.
• We don't sell or rent your data.
• We don't show ads or share data with advertisers or data brokers.
• We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.

Your choices

• Export your history at any time from Settings › Data › Export CSV.
• Delete all records from Settings › Privacy › Delete All Data.
• Turn off iCloud sync in Settings › Data to keep data on one device only.
• Change or revoke location access in iOS Settings › Location Ledger › Location.
• Remove iCloud data for the app from your Apple Account's iCloud storage settings.

Children

Location Ledger is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Security

Your data is protected by your device's security and, if you use sync, by iCloud. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so keep your devices updated and protected with a passcode.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. When we do, we'll post the new version here and change the effective date above.
