Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026 · Tect O Trak (ToTai)

Tect O Trak does not sell your personal data or use it for advertising. All track and find data stays on your device unless you choose to share it.

1. Data We Collect

The app collects the following data solely to provide its features:

Location (GPS) — recorded during active sessions to draw your track and pin finds to their exact location.
Find records — notes, photographs and metadata you enter when logging a find.
Photographs — images you attach to find records, stored locally on your device.
Email address — collected if you sign in with Google or Apple to access ToT Central features.
User ID — a unique identifier assigned by Firebase when you sign in, used to associate your data with your account.
Voice commands (optional) — if Voice Control is enabled, the microphone listens only for the spoken word "Stop". No audio is recorded or stored by the app.

2. How Your Data Is Used

Collected data is used only to provide the features of the app. It is never:

Sold to third parties
Used for advertising or profiling

3. Where Your Data Is Stored

Track data, find records and photographs are stored locally on your device. Nothing is transmitted to the internet by the app itself.

Map imagery is provided by Google Maps. When the map is displayed, Google's standard privacy terms apply — see policies.google.com/privacy.

If you enable Voice Control, voice recognition is handled by your device's built-in speech recognition service and is subject to that service's own privacy policy.

4. ToT Central (This Website)

If you create a ToT Central account, the following is stored in Firebase (Google Cloud):

Your email address (used for authentication only)
Your User ID (to identify your account and associated data)
Find records or gallery images you choose to publish
App interaction and crash data via Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics — used solely to improve app stability and performance

Firebase is governed by Google's privacy terms. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the Members' Dashboard.

5. Permissions Used by the App

Precise Location (GPS) — required for track recording and find pinning
Background Location — required to maintain GPS lock when the screen is off during an active session
Camera — used only when you choose to photograph a find
Microphone — used only when Voice Control is enabled in Settings
Storage — used to save and restore backups and export find data

6. Data Retention and Deletion

All on-device data remains until you delete it. Uninstalling the app removes all app data.

To delete your ToT Central account and all cloud data, sign in at ToT Central and use the account deletion option in the Members' Dashboard.

7. Children

Tect O Trak is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
