Privacy Policy

SpyglassBeacon is a product of PerfSpot LLC. Last updated September 12, 2026.

The short version

Your location history stays on your phone. SpyglassBeacon has no user accounts, keeps no cloud copy of your location data, and never sells or shares your data with anyone. The only thing that leaves your device is a report you deliberately export and share yourself.

What the app collects, and where it lives

Location samples. With your permission, the app records your device's location in the background to attribute each calendar day to the state you were in. These samples (coordinates, timestamps, and the state they resolve to) are stored in a database on your device. They are not transmitted to us or to any third party.

Motion activity. The app uses your device's motion coprocessor to decide when to sample location efficiently. Motion data is processed on-device and is not stored or transmitted.

Usage events. The app records basic product events (for example, that onboarding was completed) in the same on-device database, to help you and us debug the app. These contain no location coordinates and are likewise not transmitted.

Reports you export

When you export a day-count report, the app generates a PDF on your device and hands it to the iOS share sheet. Where it goes from there (email, AirDrop, your accountant) is your choice. We never receive a copy.

Your controls

You can pause tracking at any time, and you can permanently delete your entire location history from the app's Settings. Deleting the app also deletes all data it stored. Revoking location permission in iOS Settings stops all collection immediately.

This website

Nothing in this section applies to the app. The app sends us no data at all, whatever this website does.

We measure site traffic with Ahrefs Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not identify you. If you contact support, we keep the correspondence so we can help you.

Advertising. This site loads the Meta (Facebook) pixel, which we use to measure our advertising. It sets cookies in your browser and tells Meta which pages you viewed here and whether you tapped through to the App Store, so we can tell which ads are working. It reports your browser and IP address to Meta, which may match the visit to a Meta account you are signed in to. It records nothing about your location history, because this website never has it. Blocking the script, or any browser setting or extension that blocks trackers, stops it and changes nothing about the app or about what you can do on this site.

Changes and contact

If a future version of the app adds optional features that change how data is handled (for example, encrypted sync between your own devices), this policy will describe them before they ship, and they will be opt-in.
