Privacy Policy

Summary

Carvn is built so that we do not need to collect anything. Your journal never leaves your device, we operate no account system, and we run no analytics endpoint from inside the app.

What stays on your device

• Journey entries: subject, station text, coordinates, date, memoir and tags.
• Mounted plates captured with the camera or chosen in the system picker.
• Voice reflections and the text transcribed from them.
• Rendered pages, your credit balance and its transaction history.
• Your display name and portrait label.

Permissions and when they are asked

Carvn asks for the camera, the microphone, on-device dictation, photo library writes, notifications and the advertising identifier only at the moment you press the matching control. Declining any one of them leaves the rest of the journal usable, and Carvn never opens a settings screen on your behalf.

• Camera — capture a waypoint plate.
• Microphone and dictation — record and transcribe a field memoir.
• Photo library (write only) — save a finished page that you choose to export.
• Notifications — optional reminders you enable yourself.
• Advertising identifier — an optional, on-device-limited usage signal you may decline.

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, broker or share personal information. We do not link to third-party advertising or analytics networks, we do not train models on your content, and we do not transmit journal data anywhere — there is no server that could receive it.

Purchases

Road credit purchases are completed by Apple through your App Store account. Carvn receives only the product identifier needed to add credits to your local balance. Carvn does not see your name, card details or billing address.

Children

Carvn is a general audience travel journal and is not directed to children under 13.

Deletion

Using Delete Account inside the app erases every entry, plate, voice reflection, rendered page and remaining credit balance stored on that device. Deleting the app removes the same local store. Because nothing is uploaded, there is no server-side copy to retrieve.

Changes

If this notice changes in a way that affects what is stored on your device, the revised version is published at this address with a new effective date.
