HARETO (the "App") is an iPhone app for planning and recording trips, developed and operated by Shogo Watanabe ("we"), an individual. This policy explains what information the App handles and how it is used.

1. Information we handle

1.1 Account

When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address and the user identifier issued by that service. A display name and profile picture are stored only if you set them in the App. You can also use the App without signing in (guest); in that case your records stay on your device only.

1.2 Location

• GPS recording: While you have tapped "Record" (or during the hours you set for automatic recording), the App collects your location in the foreground and background and saves it as that day's track. You can revoke permission at any time in your device settings.
• Places in plans: To turn a place name into coordinates, the App sends place names and coordinates to Apple and Google map services.
• Current location: Used for "Find nearby" and for AI schedule generation when you ask for suggestions around your current location.

1.3 Photos and videos

Photos and videos you choose are attached to your records. If you turn on "Photo linking", the App reads photos taken on that day from your photo library and uses the date taken and the location stored in the photo (EXIF) to show them as candidates. Candidates are handled only on your device; only the photos and videos you add are sent to the cloud. Photos are resized to 2048px on the long side and keep their location data.

1.4 Microphone and speech recognition

When you dictate a note, the App uses the microphone and Apple's speech recognition to convert speech to text. Audio may be processed outside your device (on Apple's servers). The App does not store the audio itself; only the converted text goes into your records.

1.5 Your records

Trips (title, period, place), daily plans, notes, AI-generated journals and summaries, packing lists, costs and budgets, fetched weather, and other content you create in the App. When signed in, these are synced to the cloud for device changes and sharing with companions.

1.6 Purchases

Paid plans are purchased through App Store in-app purchase. We never receive payment details such as card numbers. Purchase status (which plan is active and until when) is received through RevenueCat, a subscription management service, and stored with your identifier.

1.7 Bug reports and crash information

• Feedback (Settings > About > "Send feedback"): your message, optional screenshots (up to 3), and an optional reply-to email are sent to us by email, together with the app version, device model and iOS version, workspace identifier, plan, number of photos, and the most recent activity log (about 200 lines; coordinates and file paths are masked).
• Crash and performance reports: When the App crashes, the device model, OS, app version, and error details are sent to Sentry (an error monitoring service). We also send timing statistics for screens and network calls from a sample of launches. Neither includes your records, photos, or location.
