The starting point
Tax Days is designed so there is very little to opt out of. On iPhone and Android, your trips, day counts, and location readings live on your device. Parraruns no account system, puts no advertising SDKs in the apps, and runs no server that stores your travel history. The apps do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or by similar laws elsewhere, so there is no “Do Not Sell or Share” toggle in them. This website works differently, and is covered in its own section below. The choices here cover everything the apps and the site can collect or sync, and how to exercise each one. The full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Choices you control on your device
- Location.Automatic day tracking is optional and off until you grant location permission. When allowed, it also runs in the background. Allow, restrict, or revoke it at any time: on iPhone in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Tax Days, and on Android in Settings → Apps → Tax Days → Permissions → Location, where “Allow only while using the app” stops background checks. Without location access the app still works with trips you log by hand (the free tier includes 5 a year). Recorded readings can be reviewed and exported in the app under Settings → Location Data.
- Notifications.Threshold alerts are optional. Manage or disable them in the app under Settings → Notification Preferences, or system-wide: on iPhone in Settings → Notifications → Tax Days, and on Android in Settings → Apps → Tax Days → Notifications.
- iCloud sync (iPhone).When you are signed in to iCloud, the iPhone app syncs your data through your private CloudKit database, which we cannot read. Turn off iCloud for Tax Days in iOS Settings → your Apple Account → iCloud to keep everything on-device only.
- Android backup.The Android app has no cloud sync. Android’s backup service can copy the app’s data to a private area of your Google Account, which we cannot access. Turn it off in your device’s backup settings.
- Crash reports. Both apps send crash reports to Firebase Crashlytics, a Google service. They hold technical details of the crash and random Firebase identifiers, never your trips or locations, and Google keeps them for 90 days. There is no in-app switch for them.
- Apple Ads attribution (iPhone). Soon after you first open it, the iPhone app sends our server an Apple Ads attribution token so we can learn whether the install came from one of our Apple Ads campaigns. It carries the random install ID, never your name or an advertising identifier, and there is no in-app switch for it. The Android app does not do this.
- Store diagnostics.Apple and Google share aggregated crash and usage data with developers only if you allow it. On iPhone, review that choice in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements. On Android, it follows your device’s usage and diagnostics setting.
- Feedback. Sending feedback is optional, and so is the email address on the form. The message and basic device details go to our server and on to RevenueHog, the service we use to answer it.
Deleting your data
Because your data lives on your device, deletion is in your hands and takes effect immediately. Delete individual trips inside the app, or remove everything on the device: on iPhone, delete the app; on Android, uninstall it or clear its storage in Settings → Apps → Tax Days → Storage & cache → Clear storage. If iCloud sync is on, deleting data in the app removes it from your private CloudKit database as well, but deleting the app alone leaves the iCloud copy in place. On Android, a backup copy stays in your Google Account until Android replaces it or it expires. There is no account to close.
A few records are held off your device: feedback you have sent, subscription records tied to a random install ID, and, for iPhone installs, an Apple Ads attribution record tied to the same ID. To have them deleted, email support@parra.io with the order number from your App Store or Google Play receipt, or the email address you used for feedback. The apps do not show the install ID, so if your iPhone install never bought a subscription, nothing links its attribution record to you and we cannot find it.
Rights requests
Laws like the CCPA and the GDPR give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal information. For the data on your device, the app itself is the fastest way to exercise them: everything is visible in the app, your location history is exportable under Settings → Location Data, and with Pro a PDF or CSV tax summary is available under Settings → Tax Summary. For the records we hold, or if you want help with any request, email support@parra.io and we will respond within the timelines your local law requires. We will never discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
This website
This marketing site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see how people find us, and the OpenAI measurement pixel to measure visits that come from ads we run in ChatGPT. Outside the EU, EEA, and UK, Google Analytics can set cookies; inside those regions it runs with analytics and advertising cookies turned off. The OpenAI pixel can set first-party cookies that store an ad-click reference and a random browser identifier. To opt out, block cookies for this site in your browser settings, or install Google’s Google Analytics opt-out add-on. None of this touches the apps, which run neither tool.
