Privacy Policy
Seat Time is an independent driving log. It is not affiliated with any DMV or state agency. The short version: there's no Seat Time account, no server of ours and no tracking. Your log is on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, and it goes only to people you invite.
What the log holds
- Each teen's first name, state and permit date.
- Your drives: date, start and end time, night minutes, supervisor, conditions, skills and notes.
Your settings stay on the iPhone.
Where it's kept
On your iPhone, protected by its passcode. If you're signed in to iCloud, the log is also kept in your own iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit), so it's the same on your other devices. We can't see or open it. Without iCloud, it stays on the iPhone.
Sharing with family
Settings → Share with a parent sends an iCloud invite to the person you pick. The people you invite can see every drive in that log and add drives. Nobody else can open it. You can remove people or stop sharing in Settings; they keep the copy that's already on their phone. If someone invites you to their log, it's kept in their iCloud, and you can leave it in Settings.
Deleting your data
Settings → Delete everything deletes the log from this iPhone and from your iCloud, empties it on your other devices, stops sharing, and leaves any log someone shared with you. People you shared with keep the copy on their phone. You can also delete Seat Time's iCloud data in the iPhone's Settings app, under your name → iCloud, or delete the app.
Location
When a drive starts, Seat Time asks iOS for one approximate location reading, only to calculate that day's sunset and sunrise so night hours are counted correctly. The calculation happens on your iPhone. The location isn't saved with the drive and isn't sent anywhere. You can say no; the app then uses the middle of your state.
Files you share
The DMV log PDF and backup files are made on your iPhone. They go only where you send them (for example Print, AirDrop, email or Files).
Reminders
The "Still driving?" nudge and the optional weekly reminder are scheduled by iOS on your iPhone.
Purchases
The Family Unlock is bought through Apple's App Store. Apple handles the payment. We never see your payment details, name, email or Apple ID.
No tracking, no ads
Seat Time has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Apart from iCloud syncing and the sharing you set up, it doesn't send your data anywhere.
Children
Seat Time is meant for parents and guardians. It stores a teen's first name only, on the family's own devices and iCloud. We collect nothing.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
