Gaidobukku Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026. This policy describes the current local-only beta. It will be updated before iCloud trip sharing is enabled.

Your plans

Trips, destinations, bookings, packing lists, notes, and photos you add are stored on your device. The current beta has no Gaidobukku account, cloud sync, advertising, or analytics. We do not receive a copy of your plans.

Information used by app features

• Apple Maps provides maps and place search. Searches and the locations you view are handled by Apple under its own privacy policy. If you allow location access, the app uses your current location to show your position on a destination map. When you paste an Apple Maps or Google Maps link, the app may contact that link to identify the place.
• To display or search for banner photographs, the app contacts Wikimedia Commons with destination names or your search terms and downloads a selected image. Its source and licence details remain with the saved photo.
• When a trip page shows weather, the app requests a forecast from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute using destination coordinates. When you use the currency converter or travel advice, the app requests public information from the European Central Bank or GOV.UK. Those services may receive ordinary network information, such as your IP address.
• If you choose to add an event to Apple Calendar or a task to Apple Reminders, the app writes that item only after you grant permission. A photo you take for a note is also saved to your Photos library. Items exported to other apps remain there until you remove them in those apps.

Opening an external link, including a directions link, takes you to the chosen website or maps app and its privacy practices.

Retention and deletion

You can delete trips and their plans in Gaidobukku. Removing the app deletes its local app data from that device. Calendar events, Reminders, and photos separately saved to your Photos library are managed in those apps. We cannot retrieve or delete plans that remain only on your device.

Feedback and TestFlight

If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send and use it to answer you and improve the app. Apple handles TestFlight invitations, beta feedback, and diagnostic reports under Apple's own privacy terms. We keep support messages only as long as needed to handle the request, unless a longer period is required by law. You can ask us to delete a support message by emailing us.

Changes and contact

We will revise this policy before introducing iCloud sharing or in-app purchases, and update the date above. For privacy questions or requests, email chimeraxapps@icloud.com.
