3. Data processed and purposes

Journeys and settings

VoyaMate stores travel information that you enter or confirm, including destinations, countries and regions, time periods, type of travel, means of transport, notes, home country, home airport and display settings. This data is used for the map, calendar, statistics and yearly reviews.

Location

If you enable automatic location detection, VoyaMate processes location events provided by iOS to recognize stays in countries and regions. Automatically collected raw coordinates are processed temporarily on the device and are neither stored nor sent to a geocoding service. The derived country or region and the time period are stored. Coordinates for custom places and areas are saved only after you explicitly choose to do so.

Photo library

When you voluntarily use photo import, VoyaMate reads the capture date and saved location of the photos or videos you have made available. Countries are matched offline on your device. Image and video contents are neither loaded for travel detection nor uploaded. Local photo identifiers remain in memory only during the check; only a non-reversible fingerprint, a count and time information for the detected group are stored permanently.

Travel expenses and documents

Expenses, currencies, categories, business or personal classifications, optional profile details for exports and imported or scanned documents are stored in the app’s private storage. Exports are created only when you request them and are shared through the iOS sharing option you select.

App protection

If you enable Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode for protection, authentication is handled by iOS. VoyaMate does not receive biometric data.

4. Storage and iCloud

By default, VoyaMate can operate entirely locally. If you enable “Sync with private iCloud”, travel information, settings, expenses and documents are synchronized between your devices through your private iCloud database. Apple processes iCloud data under the terms of your Apple Account; the developer does not operate a separate server for this app data.

VoyaMate does not integrate advertising, analytics or profiling providers. Map content is provided through Apple MapKit.

5. Legal bases

Where the controller processes personal data, this is done to provide the app features you requested under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, on the basis of your voluntary consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, or to maintain a secure and functional service under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can change system permissions for location, photos and camera in iOS at any time.

6. Retention and deletion

App data remains stored until you delete it in VoyaMate. Local app data is deleted from the device when you remove the app. Optionally synchronized data can also be deleted through the iCloud storage settings of your Apple Account. After sharing, temporary export files are subject to the terms and retention rules of the destination you selected.

7. Your rights

Where the legal requirements are met, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Because the developer has no access to app data stored locally or in your private iCloud database, this data can only be managed directly by you through the app, your device or your Apple Account.

8. Effective date and changes

Effective: August 15, 2026. This policy will be updated if the features or data processing activities change materially.
