Privacy Policy (Footprints / Ashiato Techo)

Last updated: July 23, 2026

"Footprints" ("the App") respects your privacy. This policy explains how the App handles your information.

1. Information we collect

The App uses your device's location (GPS) to automatically record when and where you were, how long you stayed, and your travel routes. This location data is stored only on your device and is never sent to any server, including the developer's.

2. Purpose of location use

• Building your timeline (stays and trips)
• Looking up the name of a visited place (see section 3)

3. Place name lookup

To show the name of a place you visited, the App uses Apple's own CoreLocation (CLGeocoder) service. This lookup happens through Apple's built-in location service and never passes through any server operated by the developer.

4. Where your data is stored

All recorded location data and place labels are stored only in a database on your device. The developer cannot access this data. Whether this data is backed up (e.g. to iCloud or a computer) depends on your device's own settings.

5. Exporting your data

The App lets you export your recorded data as CSV, GPX, or JSON files. You are responsible for how you store, share, or delete any exported files.

6. Third parties

The App does not share your information with any third party, including advertising companies. The App does not display ads.

7. Deleting your data

Uninstalling the App deletes all data stored on your device. You can also delete individual records from within the App.

8. Contact
