Effective 13 May 2026
AusVisa Tracker is a local-first app. We don't collect, store, sell, share, or transmit any personal data. There are no accounts to create, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. The app makes no outbound network requests at all — nothing leaves your device.
None. We operate no servers that receive user data, run no analytics, use no third-party SDKs, and the app never makes a network request to any backend.
The following data is stored locally in the app and never leaves your device automatically:
On iOS this data is stored in a SQLite database protected with NSFileProtectionComplete, plus secure storage for preferences. On Android, the app sets allowBackup=false so this data is excluded from device backups.
The app makes no outbound network requests of any kind. Every piece of data needed to render predictions — including Australian visa processing-time averages — is bundled with the app at install time. Updates to the bundled dataset arrive only when you install a new app update from the App Store or Play Store; nothing is fetched at runtime.
If you switch on reminders in Settings, AusVisa Tracker can show you local notifications — to log specified-work days, that a processing-time estimate has been reached, and similar. Every one is scheduled by your own device from data already on it. The app has no notification server and never receives a push from one; enabling the feature simply asks your operating system for permission to display local reminders. Notifications are off until you turn them on.
If you enable the biometric app lock in Settings, your device's operating system performs the Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint check entirely on-device. Apple and Google never share your biometric data with the app, and we never receive or store it.
When you tap Share or Export CSV, your operating system's share sheet decides what happens next. Where the file goes (Mail, Files, Messages, another app) is your choice. Once content leaves AusVisa Tracker, it's governed by the destination app's policies, not this one.
This app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Because no data is collected, no special handling for children is needed.
If this policy changes, the updated version will appear at this URL with a new effective date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
