The short version
- This version has no account and no sign-up.
- Your clips, photos, notes, pins and recaps are stored on your device.
- It does not upload what you capture, and it has no feed or sharing built in yet.
- It carries no analytics, advertising, or tracking code.
- Two things do leave your phone, and both are named below: Apple’s speech recognition, and the app-update check.
What WHODUNITE asks for
Each of these is optional — declining one turns off the part of the app that needs it, rather than blocking the app. The quoted text is exactly what iOS shows you when it asks.
| Permission | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Camera | Photos and video clips are written to app storage on your device.Whodunite uses the camera so you can capture clips of your night to relive the next morning. |
| Microphone | Sound for your clips, and voice notes.Whodunite records audio with your video clips so your recap has sound. |
| Location — Always | This is background location. See “How location actually works” below.Whodunite maps where you go on a night out — even with your phone in your pocket — to drop pins, spot new places, and build your recap. Active only while a night is running. |
| Photo library | Only used when you choose to save something to your camera roll.Whodunite can save your night’s recap to your photo library. |
| Speech recognition | Optional dictation. See “Speech recognition” below — this one involves Apple.Whodunite uses speech recognition to turn what you say into notes about your night. |
| Notifications | Occasional nudges during a night. Scheduled on your device; no push server is involved.(asked when you first start a night) |
How location actually works
WHODUNITE uses background location. That means iOS can give the app your position while it is in your pocket and the screen is off — which is the only way to map a night you are actually out living.
It only runs while a night is running. You start a night deliberately, and it stops when you end it or automatically after three hours with nothing new captured. Outside of a running night, WHODUNITE is not tracking you.
The points collected are grouped into the stops you made and labelled using your phone’s own geocoding. Raw coordinates are not shown anywhere in the app, and in this version the trail stays on your device.
Speech recognition
When you dictate a note, WHODUNITE uses Apple’s speech recognition to turn it into text. In the current version, iOS may send that audio to Apple’s servers to transcribe it. That is Apple’s service and Apple’s privacy policy, not ours — but you should know it happens. The recording itself is stored on your phone, and we do not receive it.
Dictation is optional. Typing a note instead keeps everything on the device. If a future version switches to on-device-only transcription, this page will be updated to say so.
Where your night is stored
Clips, photos, voice recordings and recap videos are written to WHODUNITE’s own file storage on your iPhone. Notes, pins, stops, timings, quiz results and settings are kept in local app storage. This version does not copy any of it to a server.
Things you explicitly export — saving a recap to your camera roll, or using the iOS share sheet — go wherever you send them. That’s your choice and outside this app’s control.
Sharing and other people
In this version there is no friends list, no profile, and no way for another person to see your night from inside the app. The only things that leave are ones you export yourself.
Sharing is planned. The app already contains unfinished code for it, switched off in every released build with no server configured to talk to. When it does ship it will be opt-in, and this page will be updated to describe what gets sent and who can see it before that version is released.
Drink tracking and age
WHODUNITE has an optional drink counter, kept behind a 21+ confirmation the first time you use it. If you decline, the feature stays hidden. Anything you log is stored on your device with the rest of the night.
Analytics, advertising, and app updates
This version contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, and no advertising library. It does not track you across apps or websites, so it does not show an app-tracking permission prompt.
Like most apps built with Expo, it checks for over-the-air updates on launch. That request goes to Expo’s update service and necessarily reveals your IP address and which app and OS version you are running. Nothing you captured is included.
Deleting your data
Delete a single night from inside the app, use “delete all nights” in Settings to clear everything at once, or delete the app to remove all of it including the media files. Since this version keeps your nights on the device, that is all it takes — there is no request to send us. If that changes, this page will explain how to ask.
Children
WHODUNITE is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. It collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
This page describes WHODUNITE v1.0.0. Online features are planned — sharing a night with friends, and looking up the names of places you stopped — and those will involve sending some of your data to a server. When that happens, this page will be updated to describe exactly what is sent and why before the version that does it ships, and the effective date above will change.
