Privacy Policy
Effective date: 19 April 2026 | Last updated: 19 April 2026
The short version: Roamr is a privacy-first app. All your data stays on your device and your personal iCloud account. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data. We have no servers, no analytics, no ads, and no tracking.
This Privacy Policy describes how Roamr ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you use the Roamr mobile application (the "App"). This policy is provided in accordance with Apple's App Store Review Guidelines and applicable privacy laws.
1. Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal data. Roamr operates entirely on your device. There are no user accounts, no registration, and no server-side data processing.
The following data is created and stored locally on your device only:
- Countries and cities you mark as visited
- Trip records and travel plans you create
- Bucket list destinations
- Photos you attach to places or trips
- Notes and journal entries
- App preferences and settings
- Badge and achievement progress
This data never leaves your device except through iCloud sync to your own Apple account (see Section 2) or when you explicitly choose to share content (see Section 7).
2. iCloud Sync
If you have iCloud enabled on your device, Roamr uses Apple's CloudKit framework to sync your travel data across your personal devices. This means:
- Your data is stored in your personal iCloud account, not on our servers
- Only you can access this data through your Apple ID
- We have no ability to read, access, or retrieve your iCloud data
- Sync is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and your iCloud storage terms
You can disable iCloud sync for Roamr at any time via iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud.
3. App Store Privacy Labels
In accordance with Apple's App Store requirements, the following table summarises our data practices as declared in App Store Connect:

* Location data is processed on-device only when you use location features. It is never sent to us or any third party.
4. Location Data
Roamr may request access to your device's location services to:
- Help you identify your current location on the map
- Suggest nearby places you may want to pin
Location data is:
- Processed entirely on your device
- Never transmitted to any external server, including ours
- Never stored persistently — it is used only in the moment you interact with location features
- Only accessed when you explicitly grant permission
You can revoke location access at any time via iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Roamr. The app functions fully without location access.
5. Photos & Camera
Roamr may request access to your photo library or camera to let you attach photos to places and trips. Photos are:
- Stored locally on your device only
- Never uploaded to any external server
- Only accessed when you explicitly choose to add a photo
You can manage photo and camera permissions in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos / Camera.
6. Analytics, Tracking & Advertising
Roamr contains no analytics, tracking, or advertising of any kind.
- No analytics SDKs (no Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.)
- No crash reporting tools
- No advertising frameworks or ad networks
- No tracking pixels or fingerprinting
- No use of Apple's IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers)
- No App Tracking Transparency prompt — because we do not track you
We do not know who you are, how you use the app, where you've been, or what content you've created.
7. Third-Party Services
Roamr uses the following Apple-provided frameworks:
- Apple MapKit — to display maps. Map tile requests are handled directly by Apple. See Apple Maps Terms of Use.
- Apple CloudKit — for iCloud data sync to your personal account. See Apple's Privacy Policy.
No other third-party services, SDKs, or APIs are used.
8. Data Sharing
We never share your data because we never have access to it. When you use in-app sharing features (e.g., exporting travel posters, trip playback videos, or stats cards), content is shared directly from your device using Apple's built-in share sheet. We are not involved in or aware of this process.
9. Data Retention & Deletion
Since all data is stored on your device and your personal iCloud account:
- Retention: Data persists on your device until you delete it. There is no server-side retention because we have no servers.
- Deletion: You can delete individual places, trips, or other content at any time within the app. To delete all data, use Settings → Reset Everything within the app.
- Uninstalling: Deleting the app removes all locally stored data. iCloud data can be removed via iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
10. Children's Privacy
Roamr does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). The app does not require account creation, does not collect any personal information, and contains no social or communication features. If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will address it promptly.
11. International Users
European Economic Area (GDPR)
Roamr does not collect or process personal data as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All data is stored locally on your device or in your personal iCloud account. Since we do not act as a data controller or processor of your personal data, GDPR obligations regarding data access, portability, and erasure are fulfilled by your direct control over your own device and iCloud account.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
Roamr does not collect, sell, or share personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We do not sell or share personal information and have no data to disclose, delete, or correct on our end.
Australia (Privacy Act 1988)
Roamr complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988. We do not collect, use, or disclose personal information.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. If we make material changes, we will also update the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
