Nostos Privacy Policy

Nostos is a personal travel journal: a map of the countries, regions and places you have visited or lived in, the trips you record, and the story they tell.

Data Collection

Nostos does not collect any data. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The developer receives nothing from the app.

Data Storage

Everything you record (places, trips, homes, dates, wishlist and challenges) is stored only on your device, in the app's own storage. If your device is backed up to iCloud or a computer, that backup includes the app's data, under Apple's terms.

Apple Services

• The map is provided by Apple Maps. Map tiles are loaded from Apple.
• When you add a place that is missing from the app's list, the text you search for is sent to Apple Maps to find it. These requests are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. Nostos does not access your location.

Backups and Sharing

• "Export a backup" creates a file that you choose where to save or send. "Restore from a backup" reads only the file you pick.
• "Save Image" adds a trip card to your Photos, after asking for permission. The app cannot read your photo library.

Data Sharing

Nostos does not sell, share or disclose any data to third parties.

Tracking

The app does not track you across apps or websites and does not use data for advertising.

User Control

You can erase all travel data at any time in Settings → Erase all travel data, or by deleting the app.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page. Last updated: 17 October 2026
