AtlasDays App Privacy

Last updated: April 30, 2026

AtlasDays is a private travel-history app for iPhone and iPad. This page describes how the app handles your data.

For paid features, subscriptions, website terms, and App Store license information, see the AtlasDays Terms of Use.

1. No Account Required

You do not need to create an account, sign in, or provide personal information to use the AtlasDays app. The app is designed to work locally on your device.

2. Local Storage, Apple iCloud Sync, and Preferences

Your trip data is stored on your device using Apple’s local data storage frameworks. AtlasDays does not upload your travel history, day counts, trip notes, or tracker data to an AtlasDays-operated server.

If iCloud Sync is on, your trips and trackers may sync across your own devices through your personal Apple iCloud account. That sync is handled by Apple and governed by Apple’s privacy policies.

If you are signed into iCloud, AtlasDays can also mirror a smaller set of app preferences through Apple’s iCloud key-value storage. That preference carry-over is separate from the full trip-and-tracker sync toggle and can include items such as home-country state, appearance, certain defaults, and sync preferences.

On a new device or after reinstalling, previously synced preferences can restore your prior sync settings. iOS permission grants themselves remain device-specific.

3. Location Detection

AtlasDays can optionally request location access to detect country changes and suggest new trips. This feature is opt-in.

• The app uses significant-change location monitoring and bundled country-boundary data for country detection, not continuous GPS tracking.
• AtlasDays creates a suggestion for you to review, edit, confirm, or dismiss. It does not silently create trips from location events.
• Country detections may be stored locally as a country-and-date log so AtlasDays can build trip suggestions and avoid repeated prompts.
• Raw coordinates are not stored as part of your trip history.
• AtlasDays does not transmit your location history to an AtlasDays server.
• If you allow background location, detection can continue while the app is not open.
• You can revoke location access at any time in iOS Settings.

For general product questions, start in the Help Center. This page is specifically about app privacy.

4. Photos and Photo Import

Photo Import is optional. You can use AtlasDays manually, import CSV files, review trackers, and export reports without granting Photos access.

If you choose Photo Import, AtlasDays asks for full Photos access because iOS requires it for an automatic library scan. The scan reads photo and video metadata such as creation dates, GPS locations, altitude, media type, and local photo asset identifiers. AtlasDays uses this metadata to suggest trips for your review.

• The trip-drafting scan runs on your device. AtlasDays resolves photo locations to countries using bundled country-boundary data and does not upload your photo library to an AtlasDays-operated server.
• AtlasDays uses photo metadata to draft trip candidates. Nothing becomes part of your trip history until you review the suggestions and confirm the import.
• Imported trips can store local photo asset identifiers so AtlasDays can show thumbnails or open the related photos from your Photos library later. AtlasDays does not copy those image files into its own database, analyze image contents, or upload your photos to an AtlasDays-operated server.
• Videos can contribute dated location evidence during import, but they are not shown in the trip photo preview gallery.
• Raw photo GPS coordinates are used during scanning and photo display, but they are not stored as trip coordinates in your AtlasDays trip records.
• If iCloud Sync is on, imported trip records, including any stored photo asset identifiers, may sync through your personal Apple iCloud account with the rest of your trip data. Your actual photo library remains managed by Apple Photos and iCloud Photos, not by AtlasDays.
• When you open an imported trip photo, AtlasDays loads that image from your Photos library for display. If the original photo is stored in iCloud Photos, iOS may retrieve it through Apple’s Photos services. AtlasDays does not create a server-side copy.
• You can revoke Photos access at any time in iOS Settings. Imported trips remain in AtlasDays, but photo thumbnails or full-screen photo previews may stop loading.

5. Notifications

AtlasDays can send local notifications for trip suggestions and tracker alerts. These are generated and scheduled on-device.

6. CSV Import, Export, and Other Sharing Choices

The app can import and export CSV files, and it can generate PDF reports. Those files are handled locally through Apple’s file picker and share sheet. AtlasDays does not upload the contents of those files to an AtlasDays server.

If you choose to paste travel data into another app or AI assistant outside AtlasDays, that separate service’s privacy policies apply to what you share there.

7. Analytics and Advertising

The AtlasDays app does not include advertising SDKs or third-party analytics SDKs.
