The short version
Voyagie collects nothing. There are no accounts, no servers and no analytics. Your trips, documents, photos and journal entries are stored on your iPhone and nowhere else. With the optional AI features switched off — which is how the app arrives — Voyagie makes no network requests at all. If you switch them on, requests go straight from your phone to Google using your own API key, and only when you ask for them.
Who this covers
This policy applies to the Voyagie iOS app (bundle identifier nz.org.northshore.voyagie) and this website. In it, “we” means the developer of Voyagie, reachable at voyagie@northshore.org.nz.
Information we collect
None. We do not operate any server or backend for Voyagie. We have no way to see your itineraries, your documents, your photos, your journal entries or your usage of the app, because none of it is ever transmitted to us.
Voyagie contains no analytics, advertising, attribution, crash-reporting or tracking software of any kind. It does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and performs no tracking as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.
Information stored on your device
Everything you put into Voyagie stays in the app's private storage on your iPhone:
- Bookings — flights, hotels, trains, cars, activities and journal entries, with their times, references, seats and addresses
- Booking documents you attach (PDFs and images)
- Photos you add to journal entries
- Journal text you write, or have written for you
- Your name, used only as the author line on exported PDFs
- Your Gemini API key, if you choose to provide one
- Any destination artwork generated for your timeline, cached so it is only generated once
This data is protected by iOS app sandboxing. It may be included in your own iPhone backups (iCloud or encrypted local backups), which are governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours.
Optional AI features and Google Gemini
Voyagie offers three optional features powered by Google's Gemini API: scanning a booking document, writing help for journal entries, and generated timeline artwork. They are disabled by default and can only be used if you supply your own Google Gemini API key in Settings → AI Features, where each feature can also be enabled or disabled individually.
What is sent, and when
Requests are sent directly from your device to Google's Gemini API, authenticated with your key. Nothing passes through us. Data is only sent at the moment you perform an action, and only the data that action needs:
- Scanning a booking — the specific PDF or image you selected
- Journal writing — the notes you typed, plus basic context for that booking such as its name, date and route
- Timeline images — a destination description such as a city name; no personal details, documents or journal text
Nothing is sent in the background, nothing is sent for a feature you have not enabled, and nothing is sent at all while AI is switched off.
How Google handles it
Because you use your own API key, that processing takes place under your own agreement with Google and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and the Gemini API terms. Please review how your chosen Google plan treats submitted content before enabling these features. You can revoke your key with Google at any time, and remove it from Voyagie by clearing it in Settings.
Permissions
Voyagie requests access to your photo library only, and only when you choose to add photos to a journal entry, or pick an image of a booking confirmation to attach or scan. Selected images are copied into the app's own storage. Voyagie never browses your library in the background.
The app does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendar, health data, notifications or your address book.
Sharing, exports and backups
Voyagie can export a journal entry or a whole trip as a PDF, and can back up a trip to a single file containing its bookings, journal entries, photos and attached documents. These files are produced on your device and go wherever you send them through the standard iOS share sheet. We never receive a copy.
Your API key is never included in a backup or an export. Your name appears only as the author line on exported PDFs.
Children
Voyagie is a general-audience travel app and is not directed at children. Because we collect no information from anyone, we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Deleting your data
Deleting a trip in the app removes its bookings, photos, journal entries and attached documents from your device. Deleting the app removes everything it stored, including your name and your API key.
There is no account to close and no server-side copy to request the deletion of, because we never hold any of your data. If you used the AI features, any records held by Google are subject to your own Google account and can be managed there.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR, the CCPA and the New Zealand Privacy Act give you rights to access, correct, export and delete personal information a company holds about you. We hold none, so there is nothing for us to disclose or erase — your data is already entirely in your possession, on your own device, and exportable at any time through the app's backup and PDF export features. We do not sell or share personal information, because we have none.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date above. Material changes affecting how data is handled will also be described in the App Store release notes for the version that introduces them.
