# Privacy Policy — FogAway

_Last updated 21 September 2026_

> FogAway needs no app account and uses no advertising tracking or analytics. Tracks are stored locally. Maps and place names use Apple services, backups go to your own iCloud, and feedback is submitted only when you send it.

## Local location records

Location reveals explored areas, records routes and calculates statistics. Authorized background recording can continue while the app is not visible, subject to permissions, location quality and iOS scheduling. Tracks, custom place names, privacy zones and statistics are stored in the local app database and are not automatically sent to us.

Revoke location access in iOS Settings, pause recording, delete local data or add privacy zones in the app. Privacy zones prevent subsequently collected points inside them from being saved; they do not automatically erase earlier records.

## Apple Maps, search and place names

Map areas, place-search queries and coordinates for place-name lookups are sent to Apple. Geocoding can run in the background as recording continues. Results are cached by region and app language and may be refreshed. Uncached maps, search and geocoding need a network connection. Apple processes these services under its privacy policy.

## Backups, export and sharing

Manual backups and automatic backups that you enable write your tracks, settings and places to your own iCloud Drive container, controlled by your Apple Account. We cannot access it. Restoring requires choosing a backup file; this is not automatic cross-device sync.

Archive exports and sharing files are generated at your request. You select their recipients or destination apps, which may retain the location data or images you share. data export remains available from the paywall without a subscription.

## Purchases and local preferences

Apple processes purchases, payments and subscriptions. The app reads verified entitlements, plans, expiration and renewal status and caches them locally to show subscription status. We do not receive your card details or Apple Account credentials. Automatic refresh reads entitlements; an explicit restore runs only when you choose Restore Purchases.

App preferences and entitlement caches use this app’s UserDefaults. File information supports database-size display and backup retention, not device fingerprinting.

## Optional feedback and contact

Feedback is submitted only after you tap Send: the title, text, up to three screenshots you select, and the app version, device model, iOS version and interface language. The screen lists the diagnostics before sending. Feedback is sent over HTTPS to our Cloudflare-hosted feedback.hintskill.com service for the developer to investigate and handle your request.

We do not automatically attach your track database, coordinates or a persistent device identifier. Text or screenshots you select may contain places, location or identifying details, so submit only what you wish to provide. Feedback and attachments are retained for issue handling. To request deletion, email us with the submission time and title so we can locate it.

If you email us, we receive your email address and the content you provide to reply. Feedback and correspondence are not used for advertising, cross-app tracking or user profiling.

## Notifications and photos

Notifications are requested only when you choose to enable them and are delivered subject to system authorization. You can turn them off in app notification settings or iOS Settings. If denied, the app offers a link to system settings. Feedback uses the system photo picker to access only images you select.
