Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

Your travel library belongs to you.

Trove is designed as an offline-only app. It does not require an account and does not upload your trips, documents, checklists, or search data to Trove or to a third party.

1. Information stored on your device

Trove stores the information you create or import, including trip details, document titles and metadata, checklist items, reminders, search indexes, and selected document files. This information stays in the app’s private storage on your device.

2. Documents and local storage

Documents are stored locally. Trove may calculate a file hash to detect identical files and avoid storing duplicate copies. This matching takes place on your device only. Removing a document from a trip removes that trip’s mapping; the file remains available to any other trip that still references it.

3. Backups

When you choose to create a backup, Trove creates a compressed, password-protected backup file in a location you select. The backup uses AES-256-GCM encryption and the password is not retained by Trove. You control where the file is shared or stored. Restoring a backup replaces the current local Trove data after confirmation.

4. Permissions

Trove asks for access only when you use a related feature:

Camera: to photograph a travel document.
Photos: to add a travel-document image.
Files: to import or restore a file you select.
Notifications: to show optional local checklist reminders.

Declining a permission does not prevent you from using unrelated parts of Trove.

5. Sharing and opening files

When you choose to share or open a document, Trove hands the local file to the app or system service you select. That handoff is initiated by you and is subject to the receiving app’s own privacy practices.

6. Data collection

Trove does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or use your personal data for advertising, analytics, profiling, or cloud synchronization. It does not use remote OCR, accounts, or a backend service.

7. Clearing data

You can clear local trip data from the Account section of the app. This removes the Trove data and documents managed in the app’s local storage. Backup files you previously saved outside the app remain in the location you chose until you delete them yourself.
