Hantte
Privacy Policy
Hantte collects no information about you. Your records are stored only on your iPhone and in your iCloud, and are never sent to the developer or anyone else.
Information we collect
None. Hantte has no server run by the developer, and there is no sign-up or sign-in. There are no ads, no analytics, and nothing that tracks you.
Because we collect nothing, there is nothing we share with or hand over to any third party.
What the app handles, and where it is stored
Hantte reads and writes the following on your device. None of it is sent to the developer.
| Information | Used for | Stored |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Drawing the path you took on the map, and showing the places you visited and the distance you traveled. | Your device, your iCloud |
| Photos | Reading photos in Photos along with when and where they were taken, to show them by day and place them where they were taken. Hantte makes no copies. It changes your photo library only when you choose Add Locationor delete a photo yourself, and iOS asks you to confirm. | In Photos, as they are |
| Notes · moments · My Places | The words you leave, the moments you gather, and places you save such as home and work. | Your device, your iCloud |
| Steps · walking distance · flights climbed | Read from the Health app only when you turn on Health sync, and shown on screen. Hantte writes nothing to Health. | Daily totals on your device only; not uploaded to iCloud |
| Device tilt | Used only to let on-screen effects such as falling leaves respond to how you tilt your phone. | Not stored |
iCloud sync
If you are signed in to iCloud on your device, your location history, My Places, notes and moments sync to your private iCloud storage. Only your Apple Account can open it; the developer cannot see it. If you don’t use iCloud, your records stay on your device. Hantte does not upload your photos or step counts to iCloud.
Apple services
Hantte uses Apple Maps services to draw maps, turn coordinates into place names, and search for addresses and places. The visible map area, the coordinates being looked up and the search terms you type are sent to Apple, and Apple’s privacy policy applies. Apart from iCloud sync and these map services, Hantte sends nothing over the internet.
Permissions
Hantte asks for each permission when you use the feature that needs it. You can use the rest of the app without granting it, and change your choice at any time in the iPhone Settings app.
- Location — shows where you are on the map and records your path.
Always
is needed to keep tracing your path while the app is closed. - Photos — shows your photos by day and suggests moments. Changes your library only when you add a location or delete a photo.
- Health — reads steps, walking distance and flights climbed. Asked only when you turn on Health sync.
- Notifications — shows the weekly recap, moment suggestions, travel recording updates, and a notice when you leave one of My Places. Notifications are created on your device; none are sent from a server.
When you share
Information leaves your device only when you make and share a poster yourself. A poster contains the photos you chose, the shape of your path, and the title, dates and numbers. The roads near the My Places you’ve saved, such as home and work, are hidden automatically.
Exporting and deleting your records
In Settings › Backup you can export your records to a file and import them again. The file contains your location history, the names and addresses of My Places, notes, moments, daily step totals and app settings, but no original photos. Because it includes your home address and the paths you took, please take care when keeping or sending it.
Your records remain on your device and in iCloud until you delete them. Deleting the app removes the records on your device; records left in iCloud can be deleted in the iPhone Settings app under your name › iCloud › Manage Storage.
Children
Hantte collects information from no one, children included.
Changes to this policy
