Privacy policy and terms of use for the Day Afoot app
Day Afoot · Last updated: 16 October 2026
Day Afoot plans your days in Paris and walks you through them. This policy explains what information the app uses, where it goes, and the choices you have. In short: your trip lives on your phone, we never sell your data, and there is no advertising or cross-app tracking.
Day Afoot is made by Alan Pupkin, based in Paris, France (“we”). You can reach us at alanclaudepupkin@gmail.com.
Your account. You sign in with Apple. Apple gives us a unique account identifier and, if you choose to share it, an email address (this may be a private relay address Apple creates for you). We use it to keep your purchase tied to you and to contact you if you write to us. We never see your Apple password.
Your trip details. When you set up a trip you tell the app your dates, who is travelling, your pace, what you love, and optionally where you are staying. This is stored on your iPhone. To build or adjust your plan, the app sends these details to our server, which passes them to our AI provider to write your itinerary. We do not keep your trip on our servers; we only record that a planning request was made and when, so we can apply a fair daily limit.
Your location. With your permission, the app uses your location on your phone to show where you are on the map and to nudge you when you are near one of your stops, including when the app is closed. This happens on your device; we do not track your location continuously or store a history of where you have been. If you ask the app to rescue or re-plan your day, it sends your approximate current location with that request so the new suggestions are close by.
Photos and camera. If you add photos to your trip recap, either by taking them in the app or picking them from your library, they stay on your iPhone. The recap video is put together on your device, and is only saved to Photos or shared when you choose to.
Health data. With your permission, the app reads your step count and walking distance from Apple Health for the dates of your trip, to show on your recap. This data is read on your device, is never sent to us or anyone else, and is never used for advertising.
Purchases. Payments are handled entirely by Apple. When you buy Day Afoot, Apple sends us a record of the transaction (such as the product and transaction identifier) so we can confirm your purchase and restore it on your devices. We never receive your card details.
Messages you send us. If you email us, we keep the conversation so we can help you.
We use a small number of service providers who process data only on our behalf and under contract:
Some of these providers are located outside the European Union, including in the United States. Where this happens, transfers are protected by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.
We do not sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to track you across other apps and websites.
We process your account, trip and purchase information because it is necessary to provide the app you asked for (performance of a contract). Location, photos and health data are used only with the permission you give in iOS, which you can withdraw at any time in Settings. We keep limited records, such as planning-request logs, for our legitimate interest in keeping the service fair and secure.
Trip details, photos and health data stay on your device until you delete them or the app. We keep your account and purchase records for as long as your account exists, and planning-request logs for up to 12 months.
Deleting your account. You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Settings › Account › Delete account. After you confirm with Apple, we revoke the app’s Sign in with Apple access, permanently delete your account and everything we hold about it from our server (including purchase records and planning-request logs), and the app erases the trip data stored on your phone. Your App Store purchase itself stays with your Apple ID, and you can restore it if you sign in again later.
You can turn off location, camera, photos and Health access at any time in your iPhone’s Settings. You can delete your account and its data yourself in the app, as described above. You can also ask us to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, or object to how we use it, by writing to alanclaudepupkin@gmail.com. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone. If you are in the EU, you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority; in France this is the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).
Day Afoot is not directed at children under 15, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Your data is sent over encrypted connections, and access to our server is limited to what is needed to run the app. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
