Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Quaid is a personal location journal for iPhone. It is built around a simple principle: your data is yours, and it stays on your device. This policy explains what that means in practice.

What Quaid records

When you allow location access, Quaid uses your iPhone’s built-in visit detection to notice the places you stop at. It stores these visits — times, coordinates, and looked-up addresses — in a private database on your device only, using Apple’s on-device storage. This information never leaves your iPhone as part of Quaid’s normal operation.

What the developer can see

Nothing. Quaid has no user accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking software. The developer operates no server that receives your data and has no way to view, retrieve, or delete what Quaid stores on your device. Because no personal data is ever collected by the developer, there is nothing held about you to request access to, correct, or have erased — you are always in direct control of the data on your own device.

Deleting your data

Because everything is stored locally, you remove your data simply by deleting it within the app (for example, “Clear all visits” in Settings) or by deleting the app from your iPhone, which removes its entire local database. No request to the developer is needed or possible.

Address lookups

To show a readable address for each visit, Quaid asks Apple’s reverse-geocoding service to turn coordinates into a place name. This means the coordinates of a visit are sent to Apple for that lookup, handled under Apple’s own privacy terms. Quaid sends only what is needed to look up the address and stores the result on your device. If your device is offline, the lookup is simply retried later.

Optional “Auto-send” feature

Quaid includes an optional feature that can send your visits, as JSON, to a web address you choose and control. This is off by default and does nothing unless you turn it on and supply your own destination URL.

If you enable it, your data is sent to the endpoint you configured. The developer does not operate that endpoint, does not receive a copy, and has no involvement in what happens to the data once it reaches the destination you specified. You are responsible for the address you enter and for whatever system receives the data there.

Exporting your data

You can export a range of your visits as a file (JSON, CSV, or GPX) and share it using the standard iOS share sheet. Where that file goes is entirely your choice and is handled by iOS, not by Quaid. The developer is not involved and receives nothing.

Children

Quaid is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. It collects no personal data for the developer, from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date above. Since Quaid collects no contact information, changes cannot be sent to you directly — please check here if you want the current version.
