Privacy Policy

Introduction

NavOps is designed with privacy in mind. This policy explains what information the app and this website use, how trip planning data is stored, and the choices you control.

We built NavOps for real-world road trips—clear day-by-day plans, minimal data collection, and a product that stays usable when the network is patchy. Privacy is part of that philosophy: your trip planning data exists to serve you, not a data broker.

When you use iCloud for a trip, Apple operates the sync infrastructure and stores that trip data in your Apple account. Apple’s own terms and settings apply there; we describe how NavOps uses those features below.

What data we collect

• Trip content you create — trips, days, stops, notes, and anything else you enter in the road trip planner app.
• Location — only when you take an action that uses location (for example placing or refining a stop). We do not continuously collect location in the background for advertising or profiling.
• Notification scheduling — if you turn on reminders, the app may keep the metadata needed to fire those notifications on your schedule.

How your data is stored

• On your device first. Trip planning data for local-only trips stays on your iPhone until you delete it.
• iCloud, only when you opt in. If you enable iCloud for a specific trip, data for that trip is stored in your iCloud account using Apple’s systems (for example CloudKit), as implemented in the app. Other trips can remain on-device only.

Location data

NavOps does not run background location tracking to build a profile of where you go. Location access is tied to actions you take in the app—such as choosing a stop on the map—consistent with iOS permission prompts and your App Store privacy disclosures.

If how we use location changes, we will update this page, App Store materials, and in-app messaging so you are never surprised.

iCloud and sharing

Sharing uses Apple’s sharing flows for iCloud-backed trips. People you invite can participate read-only, matching the in-app experience.

We never sell your personal information.

This website and third parties

This site is meant to stay lightweight: no third-party analytics, no advertising trackers, and no non-essential cookies in the first version you see today.

The NavOps app does not use third-party analytics or crash reporting today. If we introduce analytics or crash tools in the future, we will name them here, update App Store privacy labels, and ship the disclosure before those tools collect data.

Your control over data

• —Delete trips, days, or stops inside the app whenever you like.
• —Leave or manage shared trips using Apple’s sharing and device settings.
• —Manage iCloud storage and devices from your Apple ID and iCloud settings on Apple’s side.

Children

NavOps is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for targeted advertising.

Changes to this policy

When our practices change, we update this page and the “Last updated” date. For meaningful changes, we will also use App Store release notes or in-app notices when that is the right way to reach you.
