Out the Door tells you when to get ready and when to leave. Out the Door does not collect, sell or share any personal information. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking and no in-app purchases, and we run no server of our own.
To work out travel times and the weather, the app asks Apple’s services on your behalf. This policy explains what stays on your device, what those requests contain and who receives them. It covers Out the Door for iPhone and iPad.
What stays on your device
Out the Door saves these things on your device only:
- Your routine, how warm or cold you run, how you like to travel and what you always take with you.
- Home and work, if you add them.
- Plans you add yourself, and changes you make to plans from your calendar (a place, a different way of getting there).
- What you’ve packed at the door check, and how late you tend to leave, so it can suggest a little more time.
- Which calendars you’ve switched off.
This data doesn’t leave your device. Deleting the app deletes all of it. If your device backs up to iCloud or a computer, the backup may include it, as with any app; we never see it.
Your calendar
If you connect your calendar, Out the Door reads the events on your device for today and tomorrow (from iCloud, Google, Outlook or any other account added to your device) to plan around them. It reads titles, times, locations and the names of people invited, on your device only. It never changes or adds events, and never sends your calendar anywhere.
Your location
If you allow it, Out the Door uses your location to work out travel time from where you are and the weather where you’re going. Your location is used on your device and in the Apple requests below; it isn’t stored or sent anywhere else.
What Out the Door asks Apple for
- Travel times and places come from Apple Maps (MapKit). To get them, the app sends the start and end points of a trip, or what you type in a place search, to Apple.
- The weather comes from Apple Weather (WeatherKit). To get it, the app sends the location of your plan and the times you’ll be out.
These requests contain no account, no advertising identifier and nothing else that identifies you. Apple handles them under its own privacy policy.
