Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2025

Introduction

FloatHUD (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how FloatHUD handles information when you use our iOS application.

Our Privacy Commitment

FloatHUD does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data.

This is not just a policy—it’s how the app is fundamentally designed. FloatHUD operates entirely on your device with zero data collection.

Information We Don’t Collect

FloatHUD does not collect, access, or transmit:

• Personal identifying information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
• Location data or GPS coordinates
• Usage analytics or statistics
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Crash reports or diagnostics
• Telemetry files you import
• Videos you export
• Any other data of any kind

How FloatHUD Works

Data Processing

All data processing in FloatHUD happens locally on your device:

1. Import: When you import a Floaty JSON file, it is read directly from your device’s file system
2. Processing: Telemetry data is parsed and processed entirely on your device
3. Preview: HUD visualization is rendered locally using your device’s CPU/GPU
4. Export: Video rendering occurs entirely on your device
5. Storage: Export history is stored locally in your device’s app container

Your telemetry data never leaves your device.

Files and Storage

• Imported telemetry files: Processed in memory; not retained by FloatHUD
• Exported videos: Saved to your device’s Documents directory via the iOS Files app
• Export history: Stored locally in Documents/.floathud_history/ as JSON files
• No cloud sync: FloatHUD has no backend servers, cloud storage, or external data transmission

Permissions

FloatHUD operates with minimal permissions:

• File Access: Only when you explicitly select files to import or export
• No Location Services: FloatHUD does not request location permissions (GPS data comes from your imported telemetry files)
• No Photos Access: FloatHUD does not access your photo library (except when you explicitly choose “Save to Photos” from export history, handled by iOS)
• No Network Access: FloatHUD does not connect to the internet

Third-Party Services

FloatHUD does not use any third-party services, including:

• Analytics services (no Google Analytics, Firebase, etc.)
• Crash reporting services
• Advertising networks
• Social media integrations
• Cloud storage providers
• Any external APIs or services

Data Security

Since FloatHUD doesn’t collect or transmit any data, your information is as secure as your device:

• All data remains in iOS’s sandboxed app container
• Standard iOS file system encryption protects your data
• No server-side vulnerabilities (there are no servers)
• No risk of data breaches (there’s nothing to breach)

Children’s Privacy

FloatHUD does not collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is safe for users of all ages because it simply doesn’t collect data.

App Store and iOS

While FloatHUD itself doesn’t collect data, please note:

• Apple App Store: May collect information about app downloads and updates per Apple’s privacy policy
• iOS: System-level features (iCloud, device backups) are governed by Apple’s privacy policy

We have no access to or control over any data Apple may collect.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” Since FloatHUD doesn’t collect your contact information, we cannot notify you directly of changes.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since FloatHUD does not collect any personal data:

• There is no data to access, export, or delete
• There are no cookies or tracking technologies to opt out of
• There are no third parties receiving your information
• There are no data processing agreements or data controllers

Your data stays on your device, under your control, always.

Compliance

FloatHUD’s privacy-by-design approach means we are inherently compliant with:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
• COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)
• Other privacy regulations worldwide

Since we don’t collect data, there’s nothing to regulate.

Transparency

This privacy policy reflects our genuine commitment to your privacy. FloatHUD is built on the principle that your ride data is yours alone. We’ve deliberately designed the app to:

• Process everything locally
• Avoid all network communications
• Require minimal permissions
• Store data only where you explicitly choose

Open Source

FloatHUD’s source code is available for review at github.com/LucaKaufmann/FloatHUD, allowing you to verify our privacy claims yourself.

---

Summary: FloatHUD is a local-only, privacy-first app. We don’t collect your data because we fundamentally believe your ride telemetry is nobody’s business but yours.
