Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 September 2026

Whereabouts helps you remember where you put things. It is made by APEX VISION TECHNOLOGIES L.L.C, Dubai, United Arab Emirates ("we"). This policy explains what the app stores, where it goes, and what you control.

What the app stores on your phone

• The items you save: name, place, container, notes, tags, quantity, the photo you take, and the words you said or typed when storing it.
• Your places (rooms, shelves, boxes) and the history of moves between them.
• Reminders you set, and whether an item is lent out and to whom.
• Settings: appearance, whether anonymous usage statistics are on, and a random device id used for the purchase record and, if you allow them, anonymous usage statistics.

This data lives in the app's private storage. Android auto-backup to Google Drive is turned off for Whereabouts, and the app does not read your photo library, contacts, location or files.

Permissions

• Camera: used only when you take a photo of an item or a place. Photos are saved inside the app; nothing is recorded in the background.
• Microphone and speech recognition: used only while you hold the talk button or tap the microphone in search. The recording is turned into text by your phone's speech service and is not kept by Whereabouts.
• Notifications: only for reminders you set yourself.

Nothing you store leaves your phone. The app has no account and no server of its own; the only things it sends anywhere are the optional statistics and crash reports below and the purchase record.

Anonymous usage statistics (optional)

With your consent in Settings, the app sends a small number of anonymous events (for example "item stored", "search performed", "paywall shown") to PostHog so we can see which features are used. These events never include what you store: no item names, places, photos, transcripts or text you type. They are tied to the random device id, not to you. You can turn this off at any time in Settings › Privacy; in builds without an analytics key nothing is sent.

Crash reports

If crash reporting is enabled in a build, a crash sends a stack trace and device model to Sentry so the bug can be fixed. Crash reports do not include your items or photos.

Purchases

Whereabouts Pro is sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play and managed by RevenueCat. We receive an anonymous purchase record and entitlement status; we never see your payment details.

Data retention and deletion

• Delete an item or place in the app and it is removed from your phone.
• Settings › Your data › Delete all data removes every item, place, move and photo from the phone. Uninstalling the app does the same.
• Export data writes a JSON file and a ZIP of your photos to a folder you choose, so you always have a copy you own.
• Anonymous analytics events are kept by PostHog according to its retention settings and cannot be linked back to you.

Children

Whereabouts is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
