Privacy and Permissions
AtlasDays keeps your travel history on your device and needs no account. Photos are scanned on the device, location access is optional, and iCloud Sync stores trips and trackers in your own private iCloud account when it is on.

Travel history
Your trips, trackers, and notes are app data. With iCloud Sync off they stay on the device. With it on, CloudKit keeps them in your private iCloud account and synchronizes them across devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Some preferences, such as Home Country and appearance, use iCloud key-value storage and can sync even when trip sync is off. Files you create with Export, including an AtlasDays Backup, are made on the device and go only where you send them.
Photos
Photo Import reads the dates and embedded locations of photos and videos in your library. It needs full photo access, and the scan and country resolution happen on the device. AtlasDays does not upload your photos.
Trips saved from a photo scan keep references to the original photos and small cached previews on the device, which Settings → Appearance → Show Previews can hide. The originals stay in Photos. iOS may also list a separate add-only Photos permission, which AtlasDays uses only to save the travel cards you share to your photo library.
Location
Auto-Detect Trips uses low-power location monitoring only when you explicitly enable it and grant Always location access. A detection adds a trip that you can review, edit, or undo; it does not continuously record your route.
Notifications
Notifications are used for enabled Auto-Detect events and Smart Alerts. You can disable the related feature in AtlasDays or change notification permission in iOS Settings.
Review or revoke access
Open iOS Settings for AtlasDays to change Photos, Location, and Notifications permission at any time. A permission only appears in that list once AtlasDays has asked for it, so a feature you have never opened will not be listed yet.
Usage statistics
AtlasDays sends anonymous usage statistics to an independent analytics provider in the European Union, so it can see how the app is used and where it can be better. There is no account and nothing that identifies you personally.
These statistics cover actions taken in the app, your settings, basic device and app information, and your approximate country. Counts, such as how many trips you have, are sent as ranges rather than exact numbers. They never include your trips, dates, notes, photos, or coordinates.
AtlasDays carries no advertising, uses no advertising identifier, and asks for no tracking permission. The Privacy Policy is the full statement.
If a feature stops working
Check the permission it depends on in iOS Settings. Photo Import needs Photos access, Auto-Detect needs Always location, and alerts need notifications. Each keeps working normally once access is allowed again.
