Privacy
Last updated: September 26, 2026
My apps collect no data. There are no servers, no analytics, and no accounts. What an app stores stays on your device. Where an app uses an Apple service such as maps, that's described below.
Compass Capture (iOS)
What It Accesses
- Camera — to display the viewfinder and capture photos.
- Location (When In Use) — for GPS coordinates and compass heading. Works without it; heading and coordinates simply won't appear.
- Photo Library (Add Only) — to save photos. Cannot read your existing photos.
- Motion Sensors — for tilt angle via accelerometer.
What It Collects
Nothing. No user accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party SDKs.
Third-Party Services
Uses Apple MapKit for the mini-map overlay. Map tiles are fetched from Apple's servers under Apple's Privacy Policy. No personally identifiable information is sent by the app.
Route Recall (iOS)
What It Accesses
- Location (While Using the App): to show where you are and to record your route. Recording only happens after you tap Start Tracking. It continues while your phone is locked or another app is open, and iOS shows the location indicator the whole time.
- Precise Location: needed to tell which street you're on. With approximate location, the app can't record a route.
What It Stores
Your trips are stored only on your iPhone: the recorded GPS points (position, time, speed, heading, altitude, and accuracy), the directions and place names built from them, and your settings. Like other app data, they're included in your device backups (iCloud Backup or a computer backup). Deleting a trip removes it from the app, and deleting the app removes everything.
What It Sends
After a trip ends, Route Recall looks up street and town names for its directions using Apple's geocoding service. This sends Apple the coordinates of points along the trip: the start, the end, each turn, and points every few hundred meters. The map itself also comes from Apple. Both are covered by Apple's Privacy Policy. The app adds no account or personal identifier to these requests, and nothing is sent to me.
What It Collects
Nothing. No user accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, no ads, and no third-party SDKs.
Mouse Eyes (macOS)
What It Accesses
- Accessibility — to track global mouse movements across monitors.
What It Collects
Nothing. Mouse Eyes runs entirely on your device. It does not connect to the internet, store any data, or include any analytics.
General
None of my apps collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
