At a glance: Scratch Atlas is a travel map app. Your visited countries and settings stay on your device. On iPhone, they can also back up and restore through iCloud when you are signed in. Purchases and the 7-day free trial are handled by Apple. We do not sell your data. Optional analytics (PostHog) may run only if enabled in your build.

App name: Scratch Atlas
Platform covered by this policy: iOS (iPhone / iPad)
This Privacy Policy explains how Scratch Atlas (“the App”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you use our mobile application on iOS.
We built Scratch Atlas so you can mark countries you have visited on a world map, view travel statistics, and optionally export or share your map. We aim to collect only what we need to provide those features.
By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
| What | Examples | Stored where |
|---|---|---|
| Travel map progress | List of visited countries (standard country codes), map color theme, display preferences | On your device; on iOS, also in your iCloud container when iCloud is enabled |
| App settings | Light/dark mode, language preference, stamp style, “scratch to reveal” option, distance units | Same as above |
| Purchase / trial status | Active subscription, lifetime unlock, or trial eligibility | Apple and RevenueCat (we do not receive your card number) |
| iCloud backup file | Encrypted copy of visited countries and settings | Your iCloud account (Apple); not on our servers |
| Exported images | When you use “Export map”, an image is saved to your Photo Library | Your device only (Photos app); we do not receive a copy |
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email, or password inside the App.
| What | Purpose | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase and subscription status | Unlock the App, restore purchases, manage entitlements | Apple (App Store) and RevenueCat (purchase infrastructure) |
| Product analytics (if enabled in your build) | Understand how features are used (e.g. onboarding completed, country marked) | PostHog |
If analytics are disabled in a given build (no analytics token configured), these events are not sent.
