GoodToGo Privacy Policy
Effective date: 17 October 2026
This policy explains what information the GoodToGo iPhone app uses, where it is stored, who can
access it, and how you can delete it. “We” and “the developer” mean the independent developer of
GoodToGo.
Summary
- The developer does not collect personal data through GoodToGo. The app has no account, no
advertising, no analytics, and no third-party code.
- Your plans are stored on your iPhone and, only if you turn on iCloud Sync, in the private
database of your own iCloud account. The developer cannot access either.
- To time your commute, the app sends locations and searches to Apple Maps and Apple Weather.
These requests go to Apple, not to the developer.
- You can delete your data from inside the app, by deleting the app, and through iOS Settings.
What the app stores on your iPhone
| Information |
Why |
How long it is kept |
| Plans, saved places (name, address, and map position), packing lists, and settings |
To run the app |
Until you delete them |
| Completed and skipped commutes, including their dates, place names, and map positions, and the name of a holiday that caused a skip |
So you can see and reuse past plans |
Until you delete them |
| Recent searches (places you picked from search results) |
To make choosing a place faster |
Up to 30 days. Kept on this iPhone only, and not included in iCloud Sync or device backups |
| Latest travel time, route, weather, and alarm details for upcoming commutes |
To show them quickly, including on the Live Activity |
Deleted when the commute is completed, when its plan is deleted, or when you delete all plan data. Not included in device backups |
| Your choice of holiday calendar and whether iCloud Sync is on |
To remember your choices |
Until you delete the app |
Your current location is used to answer each request and is not saved by the app. A place is saved
only when you save it yourself.
Device backups: like most app data, your plans, places, packing lists, completed commutes, and
settings are included in your iPhone’s backups (iCloud Backup or a backup on your computer) if you
use them. Those backups are managed by Apple and by you, not by the developer.
What leaves your iPhone, and where it goes
GoodToGo sends information only to Apple services. It does not send information to the developer
or to any other company.
- Apple Maps: your current location (when you use a Current Location plan), the places in your
plans, and the text you type into place search. Place search also sends a nearby point so results
near you come first: another place in the plan, your current location if you have already allowed
location access, or the last place you picked. Used for place search, routes, travel times, and
map images.
- Apple Weather: the locations of your commute. Used for the forecast and weather alerts.
- iCloud (only if you turn on iCloud Sync): your plans, places, packing lists, completed
commutes, and settings, stored in the private database of your own iCloud account. Apple’s
push notification service lets iCloud tell the app when this data changes. The developer cannot
read your private iCloud database.
- Links you tap: opening a route in Apple Maps or weather details on Apple’s website sends that
place to Apple.
Apple handles this information under the
Apple Privacy Policy. The developer is not responsible for
how Apple processes it.
The developer does not sell, rent, or share your information, and does not use it for advertising
or tracking.
Permissions
GoodToGo asks for these permissions. Each one is optional, and the app keeps working with less
information if you decline.
- Location (while using the app): to time your commute from where you are. For a Current
Location plan, iOS may let the app keep using your location until your leave time so travel
times stay accurate.
- Calendars (read only): to find holidays so weekly plans can skip holidays or run only on
holidays. The app reads events from your holiday calendar and does not add or change events.
- Notifications: to remind you before you need to leave.
- Alarms: to ring a GoodToGo alarm if you set one.
You can turn any of these off at any time in iOS Settings → Apps → GoodToGo.
The app does not send information to the developer. The developer may receive information only in
these ways:
- Crash reports and usage statistics from Apple. If you turn on Share With App Developers
in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements, Apple may share crash reports and
aggregated app usage statistics with the developer. These are used only to find and fix
problems. You can turn this off in the same place. Apple’s handling of this data is covered by
the Apple Privacy Policy.
- Emails you send. If you email support, the developer receives your email address and your
message. They are used only to reply to you and are not shared. You can ask for the conversation
to be deleted.
- TestFlight. If you test a pre-release version through TestFlight, Apple may share the
feedback, screenshots, and crash reports you choose to send, along with the details Apple
includes with them.
Deleting your data
Because the developer does not hold your app data, you control it directly:
- In the app: User tab → Delete All Plan Data deletes every plan, saved place, packing list,
completed commute, and recent search on this iPhone, and cancels the app’s notifications, alarms,
and Live Activities. If iCloud Sync is on, the deletions also sync to your iCloud. Your
appearance and other preferences are kept; you can reset them with Reset All Settings.
- Delete the app: removes the data it stored on this iPhone. Data in iCloud and in device
backups is not removed by deleting the app.
- Remove the iCloud copy: turning iCloud Sync off stops syncing but does not delete the copy
already in iCloud. To delete it, open iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud, go to the list of
apps using iCloud storage, choose GoodToGo, and choose the option to delete its data. (The
exact labels depend on your iOS version.) You can also turn iCloud Sync on and use Delete All
Plan Data.
- Device backups: manage or delete these in iOS Settings or on your computer.
Security
Your data is protected by your iPhone’s built-in security and, if you use iCloud Sync, by your
Apple Account. Cached route and weather details are stored with iOS file protection. No method of
storage or transmission is perfectly secure, and the developer cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
If a future version of GoodToGo changes what information it collects or shares, this policy and the
App Store privacy details will be updated before that version is released.
