TrackIT The short version
- TrackIT keeps everything on your iPhone.
- There is no account, no cloud, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
- TrackIT cannot see your sessions, photos, documents or certificate dates.
- The app does not ask for, and does not store, your certificate numbers, and it does not store scans or photos of your certificates.
What TrackIT stores, and where
All of this is saved in TrackIT’s private storage on your phone, and nowhere else:
- Sessions you log: date, type (stalk, driven, clays, range and related types), species, the place name you type, notes, clay targets and hits, range score or group, calibre, whether the outing was successful, and any photos you choose to add.
- Land permissions (the Access tab): for each place you add, a name, optionally the name of the landowner or contact (this is another person’s name, so only type what you are comfortable keeping), the acreage, which species are allowed, an expiry date and notes. All of this is typed by you, is stored only on your phone, and is never uploaded or shared.
- Insights (the Insights tab): this is not extra data. It is a summary worked out on your phone from the sessions you have logged.
- Documents list: a title, type, expiry date and notes for items like permissions or insurance, and optionally a PDF or photo you attach to a (non-certificate) document.
- Your profile: whether you hold a Firearm Certificate and/or a Shotgun Certificate, the expiry date of each, a list of firearms by type and calibre (for example “Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor”), and an optional name or nickname if you choose to type one (it is only used to greet you on the Profile screen, you can leave it blank, and it stays on your phone).
- Settings: a few on/off choices (for example that you have seen the welcome screen).
TrackIT does not ask for or store: certificate or licence numbers, your address, date of birth, the issuing police force or officer, or any picture or scan of a certificate.
Where your data goes
Nowhere. TrackIT has no server and does not connect to the internet to send your data anywhere. It is not received, sold or shared by TrackIT.
Things only happen if you choose them:
- Export a PDF / share: you can export sessions as a PDF and send them using the iPhone share sheet. What you do with that file is up to you. Temporary PDFs are kept in the phone’s temporary folder, which iOS clears automatically.
- Send feedback: tapping “Send Feedback” opens your own email app with a pre-filled message (it may include device type, iOS version and app version if you leave them in). Nothing is sent unless you press send in your email app.
Notifications
If you turn on an expiry reminder (for a document or a certificate), TrackIT first explains what it is for and then asks iOS for permission to send notifications. Reminders are created on your phone, using the dates you entered. They are not sent from a server. You can switch them off at any time in iPhone Settings > Notifications > TrackIT.
Photos
When you add a photo, you pick it with Apple’s photo picker. TrackIT gets only the photos you choose and saves a copy in its own private storage. It does not have access to the rest of your photo library.
Protection of your data
Files are saved with iOS “complete” file protection, which means they are locked whenever your phone is locked. Your phone’s passcode and the iPhone’s own security protect your data. Please keep a passcode on your phone.
Backups: like most apps, TrackIT’s data can be included in a backup of your iPhone made by you (to iCloud or to a computer). That backup belongs to you and is managed by Apple and your settings; TrackIT does not have access to it.
Deleting your data: deleting TrackIT from your phone deletes the data it stores. You can also delete individual sessions, documents and firearms inside the app.
If TrackIT ever finds that one of its data files is damaged, it keeps the damaged file on your phone (renamed, with the date and time) instead of overwriting it, and tells you in the app. If you want help recovering it, contact support@trackitapp.co.uk. You would need to send the file yourself; TrackIT cannot reach it otherwise.
Children
TrackIT is not aimed at children. It does not knowingly collect any data from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If this ever changes (for example if syncing between devices is added), this page and the date at the top will be updated before that version is released, and the app’s App Privacy details in the App Store will be updated too.
