Dropin
Privacy Policy
Information Collected
The developer of Dropin does not collect any information about you through the app. Dropin has no accounts, analytics, or ads.
Dropin stores the following information only on this device and does not sync it.
- Your place history
- A record of the events you create in Dropin
- Your settings
Check-ins are saved as events in your calendar. Whether they sync across your devices depends on the settings of that calendar’s account (such as iCloud).
Stored information remains until you delete it as described in “Deleting Your Data.” It may also be included in your device backups.
If you turn on Share With App Developers, the developer may receive crash logs and diagnostic information from Apple. Apple provides this information in a form that doesn’t identify you. It is used to fix bugs.
Information Sent Outside the App
To search for places, Dropin sends the following information to Apple Maps.
- When finding places nearby: the coordinates of your current location
- When searching for a place by name: the text you enter and the area around your current location
- When saving a place from your history: the place’s identifier in Apple Maps
Apple Maps may also receive your IP address. This information is not sent to the developer and is handled in accordance with Apple’s Privacy Policy.
Permissions
- Calendars (Full Access): Used to save check-ins as events and to show the events created in Dropin.
- Location (While Using the App): Used to suggest nearby places and to add coordinates to places you enter by name.
Without calendar access, you cannot check in. Without location access, you can still check in from your place history or by entering a place name. You can change these permissions at any time in the Settings app.
Deleting Your Data
- You can delete places from your history one at a time, or all at once, in Dropin’s Settings > History.
- Deleting Dropin deletes the information it stored on this device.
- Events saved to your calendar remain after you delete Dropin. To delete them, do so on Dropin’s home screen before you delete the app, or in the Calendar app.
Contact Form
Messages you send using the contact form on the Support page are received by the developer. The form has no fields for your name, email address, or other contact information. The developer uses these messages to improve the apps and does not share them with third parties except as required by law. Messages that are no longer needed are deleted. Because the form can’t identify who sent a message, individual messages can’t be deleted after they are sent.
Because the form uses Google Forms, messages you send are also handled in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.
This policy may change. Changes take effect when they are posted on this page.
Effective date:
Developer: Shinichiro Kato
