Privacy Policy
Voyage in Time is a guided-tour app for visitors to Paris. This policy explains what personal information the app uses, why, and what your rights are.
In short: you don't need an account, there are no adverts and no tracking, and almost everything the app knows about you stays on your phone.
Who we are
The app is published by Voyage in Time, a sole trader (micro-entrepreneur) registered in France.
We are the "data controller" for the personal information described here, under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For anything about this policy or your information, email info@voyageintime.com.
What stays on your phone
- Your location. If you allow it, the app uses your phone's location while the tour map is open, to show where you are and how far you are from the next stop. We don't record it, keep it or receive it. The tours work without it, and you can turn location access off at any time in your phone's settings.
- Your photos. If you allow the camera, you can take photos at each stop. They stay on your phone: we never see or receive them. If you turn on "Save to phone", the photos you keep are added to your phone's photo library. The app doesn't look at the photos already in your library, and it never uses the microphone.
- Your progress and settings, such as the tour you chose, the stop you reached, where you paused the audio and your "Save to phone" choice. These are stored only on your phone and are removed when you delete the app.
What we receive
- Messages you send us. Contact Us and Report a Problem send us your email address, your message and, if you give it, your name. We use them only to answer you and to fix problems, which is in our legitimate interest and yours. We keep them for as long as we need to deal with them, and for no more than one year.
- Crash reports and statistics. If you have allowed it in your phone's settings, Apple or Google may share anonymous crash reports and usage statistics with us. They don't identify you.
Services the app relies on
Some features work through other companies' services. To provide them, these services receive technical information such as your IP address and the type of device you use, and handle it under their own privacy policies:
- Formspree (Formspree, Inc., USA) delivers your messages to our inbox.
- The tour map is shown with Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iPhone, with map images from OpenStreetMap. On Android, Google's map service handles your location to show your position on the map.
- Directions open in Google Maps or Apple Maps, outside our app.
- Expo (650 Industries, Inc., USA) delivers updates to the app's content when you open it.
- Apple's App Store and Google Play handle downloads and any purchases. We never see your payment details.
Where these companies are outside the European Union, the transfer of your information is protected by the safeguards the GDPR requires, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
What we don't do
We don't ask you to create an account, show adverts, use advertising or tracking tools, build profiles of our users, or sell or share personal information.
Children and families
Some of our tours are designed for families with children. They are meant to be enjoyed together, with an adult: the app is not intended for children to use on their own.
The app doesn't ask children for any personal information. The contact forms are for adults. If you think a child has sent us personal information, please tell us and we will delete it.
Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, to limit how we use it, to give you a copy of it, or object to our using it. Email info@voyageintime.com and we will reply within one month.
Most information stays on your phone, so you control it yourself: deleting the app removes it.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the French data protection authority, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr), or to the authority in your own country.
Security
Messages you send us travel over an encrypted connection.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date below. If the changes are significant, we will also tell you in the app.
