1. Information We Process
Vibe Pacenotes is a driving safety reminder app. We process data only to provide trip reminders, account sync, share receiving, user contribution review, subscription entitlements, abuse prevention, customer support, diagnostics, and app stability. We do not serve ads, sell personal information, or use data to track users across apps or websites.
2. Location Data
When you start a trip, the app calculates on device how close you are to nearby reminder areas and plays driving safety reminders near complex intersections or safety reminder areas. Background location is enabled only during a trip that you explicitly start, so assistance can continue while the screen is locked or the app is backgrounded. You can stop the trip at any time.
For local-only functionality, location data stays on the device. When you use server-backed nearby search, user contribution, cloud sync, or sharing features, the app may send your current location, reminder coordinates, or share snapshots to our server. Nearby search uses the current location only for that real-time query; the server must not record or store that live location. Coordinates that you intentionally create, submit, or share may be stored to provide reminders, review contributions, sync data, and share reminders.
3. Account, Device, and Safety
When you first use online features, the app creates an anonymous account. If you later use Sign in with Apple, the anonymous account can be merged into your Apple identity. Session information is stored in the iOS Keychain. To prevent abuse and forged clients, the app may use Apple DeviceCheck and App Attest to verify app and device integrity. These checks are not used for ads or profiling.
4. Notifications, Subscriptions, and Purchase History
If you allow notifications, the app uses Apple Push Notification service for contribution review results, reward notices, and similar updates. Notifications are refresh triggers only; the app refreshes server state after receiving them.
If enabled, Vibe Pacenotes Pro will be offered through Apple StoreKit auto-renewable subscriptions. After purchase or restore, the app sends the Apple signed transaction to the server for verification and applies only the server-returned entitlement snapshot.
5. User Content, Sharing, and Clipboard
Reminder names, voice text, conditions, coordinates, and share snapshots you create are user content. Shared links are immutable snapshots captured at creation time. The public web landing page shows only the reminder name, type, short creator display name, and expiration date. It does not show coordinates, voice text, or the full snapshot.
The share web landing page writes our own HTTPS share URL only after you tap an open or copy action. When the app returns to the foreground, it detects only system-recognized app share URLs and does not read the full clipboard text.
6. Feedback, Diagnostics, and Sentry
When you intentionally send feedback, the app creates a diagnostic package that can include app version, device model, authorization states, optional contact email, your issue description, recent log text, and a local summary. GPS coordinates and sensitive identifiers are redacted at the logging source. The app does not include the full local database in feedback packages. Optional contact email is used only for human support replies.
We use Sentry crash reporting to improve app stability. Sentry is not used to collect your location data, serve ads, or track you.
7. Call State Detection
If you enable a “trigger during phone call” condition on a reminder, the app uses iOS CallKit to check whether a call is active and whether the current audio route is hands-free, such as car Bluetooth, Bluetooth headset, or USB audio. This information is used only to decide whether to play a safety reminder near the configured location.
We do not collect, store, upload, or analyze phone numbers, contact names, call history, call duration, recordings, transcripts, or call content. Call state is used only in app memory.
8. Retention and Controls
Local reminders and trip state are stored on the device. Anonymous account, cloud sync, user contribution, sharing, notification, subscription, and reward data are stored on the server to provide features, prevent abuse, audit state changes, and support troubleshooting. Share links are valid for 30 days by default.
You can request account deletion from the in-app Account screen. The app asks for confirmation and sends an authenticated deletion request to the server. The request disables the anonymous or Apple-linked app account, detaches device registry state, revokes current-device notification state, deletes or disables server-backed user reminders, expires active share links, and clears the Keychain session on the current device. Contribution review, rewards, purchases, App Store transactions, fraud prevention, safety, support, and accounting audit records may be retained for a period required by applicable law, security, abuse prevention, subscription reconciliation, or accounting obligations.
For data export, supplemental deletion of server-side personal data, or human support, you can also contact us at the feedback email below. The email request path does not replace the in-app account deletion entry.
