Privacy Policy – PT App

Effective date: October 11, 2026 · Applies to the PT App for iOS and Android

In short: The PT App logs which country and city you are in, to count the days you spend there. Your travel log is stored only on your device. We do not collect them, receive them, store them on servers, share them or sell them. The app has no user accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.

1. Who we are

PT App is published by Public Ping Pong LLC, 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE, Ste N, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA (“we”, “us”). Contact: ok@publicpingpong.com.

2. What the app stores on your device

The app keeps a travel log: your stays (country, city and dates), your settings, and, in automatic mode, recent approximate location points that have not yet been converted into a stay. All of this is stored only in the app’s local storage on your device.

3. Location data

The app has two modes. In manual mode (the default) you enter your stays yourself and the app does not use your location at all. In automatic mode the app uses your device’s location services to detect the country and city you are in, but only after you grant permission.

Where it is stored: exclusively in the app’s local storage on your device.
What we receive: nothing. No location data is transmitted to us or to any server operated by us.
Precision: the app works with an approximate location (rounded to roughly 5 km), which is enough to determine country and city.
Determining country and city: to translate a location into a country and city, the app uses your operating system’s geocoding service. For this, the rounded coordinates are sent to Apple (on iOS) or Google (on Android) and processed under their privacy policies. Results are cached on your device, so the same area is not looked up again. We never receive this data.
Background location: if you allow it, the app checks your location in the background so days are recorded even when the app is closed. On Android, a system notification shows while this is active. You can switch back to manual mode, or change or revoke the permission, at any time.

4. Data we do not collect

We do not collect names, email addresses, contacts, device identifiers, usage statistics, crash reports or advertising IDs. The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking software.

5. Purchases

If you buy the app or an in-app purchase, the payment is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own privacy policies. We do not receive your payment details or your identity.

6. Device backups and exports

If you have device backups enabled (e.g. iCloud Backup or Google backup), your operating system may include the app’s local data in those backups. This is handled by Apple or Google under their terms, not by us. If you export your log as a CSV file, you decide where that file goes, for example by email or AirDrop.

7. Deleting your data

Because your data exists only on your device, you are in full control of it. You can delete individual stays in the app, and uninstalling the app removes all of its data from your device. We cannot access, restore or delete data on your device.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under data protection laws such as the EU/UK GDPR or the CCPA, including rights of access, correction and deletion. Since we hold no personal data about you through this app, there is nothing we can provide or delete, but you are welcome to contact us with any questions.

9. Children

The app is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

10. Not tax or legal advice

The app is a day-counting tool. It does not determine your tax residency and is not tax or legal advice.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the effective date above before the change takes effect.
