Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 November 2026

TrustedChildren lets a person share their last known position with a few people they trust, who can look it up when they need to. It is built so that we, the people running it, cannot see anyone’s position.

Who we are. TrustedChildren is developed by Daniel Armyr, Sweden. Contact: daniel.armyr@conversy.ai.

The short version

• There are no accounts. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
• Your position is encrypted on your phone before it leaves it, separately for each person you share with. Our server stores it but cannot read it.
• Everything we store is deleted after 30 days at the latest.
• There is no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and we never sell or share data.

What the app sends to our server

Your identity in the app is a pair of cryptographic keys created on your phone. The public half of those keys (your Public Handle) is what our server sees instead of a name.

Position reports. When you share your position, the app sends one report to each person you share with. The position and the time it was recorded are encrypted so that only that person can read them. Our server can see:

• your Public Handle and the Public Handle of the person the report is for,
• the time your phone says the report was made, and the time it arrived.

Only the most recent report for each person is kept. Each new report replaces the previous one, and a report is deleted no later than 30 days after it arrived.

Read log. When someone you share with looks up your position, the server records which Public Handle looked, when, and whether a position was found. Your app uses this record to notify you that your position was looked at. The log is deleted after 30 days.

Technical logs. The server keeps short operational logs, for example that a request failed. They contain no positions and no Public Handles, and they are deleted after 30 days. We do not keep logs of IP addresses.

The server runs on Amazon Web Services in Stockholm, Sweden (EU). Amazon processes the data on our behalf and cannot read the encrypted positions either.

What stays on your phone

Your private keys, the names you give your contacts, and the positions you have received are stored only on your phone. They are never sent to us. Deleting the app deletes them.

Permissions the app asks for

• Location, set to “Always”: to record your position in the background, so the people you trust can find your last known position even when the app is closed or your phone has died.
• Camera: only to scan the code of a person you want to share with. No photos are taken, stored or sent.
• Notifications: to tell you when someone has looked at your position. These notifications are created on your phone; we do not use push notifications.

Apple

Maps in the app are provided by Apple Maps, so Apple receives the map areas you view under Apple’s privacy policy. If you install the app through TestFlight or the App Store, Apple may share crash reports and usage statistics with us if you have agreed to that in your phone’s settings.

Children

TrustedChildren is meant for families, and a child may be one of the people sharing a position. We recommend that a parent or guardian sets up the app together with the child. The app never collects a child’s name or contact details.

Your choices and rights

• To stop sharing with someone, remove them in the app. No new reports will be sent to them. The last report they already received is deleted within 30 days.
• To stop using TrustedChildren entirely, delete the app. Everything on our server expires within 30 days.
• Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, and to complain to a data protection authority (in Sweden, IMY). Because there are no accounts and we hold no names, we usually cannot tell which stored data is yours; it is deleted within 30 days regardless. Contact us at daniel.armyr@conversy.ai.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top.
