Privacy Policy

Last updated 29 July 2026

Countries Days keeps your travel history on your device. We do not run a server that holds it, we do not have an account system, and there is nothing for us to look at even if we wanted to.

The short version

Location

If you allow it, the app records where you are so it can work out which country you are in. That coordinate is compared against a map of national borders that ships inside the app itself. No network request is made and no coordinate is transmitted. The result — a country and a date — is stored on your device.

Location access is optional. Without it the app still works; you enter your stays yourself, or recover them from photographs.

Photographs

If you use "Restore from photos", the app reads the date and coordinates stored inside each photo by your camera. It does not open, copy, analyse or upload the images. Nothing about your photo library leaves the device.

iOS lets you grant access to selected photos rather than all of them. The app works either way, with less history recovered from a smaller selection.

Documents you attach

You can attach a ticket, a booking or a boarding pass to a day as proof it happened. Those files are copied into the app's own storage on your device. They are not uploaded, not scanned, and not read by us. They leave your device only inside a report you export yourself, and only if you choose to include them.

Areas you define

An area — a city, an office, a home — is a name, a point and a radius that you set. It is stored on your device like everything else, and it is used only to decide which of your own days fall inside it.

Where your data lives

Your stays, limits, areas, attachments and settings are stored in the app's own storage on your device, and are included in your device backups if you make them. Deleting the app deletes the data with it.

So the widgets and the Apple Watch app can show your counts, a short summary — the countries, the day counts and how close your limits are — is written to storage shared between the app, its widgets and your paired Watch. That summary stays within your own devices and is passed between iPhone and Watch by the operating system.

Reports you export are written to your device and go wherever you choose to send them. They are not copied to us.

Payments and subscriptions

Money is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see your card, your billing address, or your Apple Account.

To know whether your subscription is active, the app uses Adapty, a subscription service that sits between the app and the App Store. This is the one place where the app talks to a server that is not Apple's. Adapty receives a device identifier generated for this purpose, your subscription status, and the events around it — a purchase, a renewal, a cancellation.

Adapty never receives your travel history. Which countries you have been in, when, and for how long stays on your device and is not part of what is sent. There is no link between your record and anything Adapty holds.

When you write to us

If you email support@dobreon.com we will have your message, your email address, and whatever you choose to include — for example a screenshot or an exported report. We keep support correspondence only as long as it takes to help you, and we do not use it for anything else. Please do not send us documents you would not want us to hold.

Children

Countries Days is not directed at children and collects nothing about anyone, including them.

Your rights

Data protection law gives you rights to access, correct and erase personal data held about you. In our case there is nothing held: your travel history is on your device and under your control, and you can erase it by deleting the app. For support correspondence, write to us and we will delete it on request.

Changes

If the app ever starts doing something this page does not describe — an optional iCloud sync, for example — this page will be updated before that feature ships, and the date at the top will change.
