Privacy Policy — Probato
Last updated: September 6, 2026
1. Summary
Probato is a probationary driving license tracking application that runs mostly locally on your iPhone. Your profile and violation data stay exclusively on your device. Probato uses PostHog, an anonymized usage-analytics service, to measure app usage (see section 4); no identifying personal data is shared with third parties.
2. Data collected
Probato exclusively stores the following information, on your device only (UserDefaults shared via an App Group between the app and its widget):
| Data | Storage | Use |
|---|---|---|
| License type (standard or accompanied driving) | Local (App Group) | Table and milestone calculation |
| License issue date | Local (App Group) | Calculation of milestone and probation end dates |
| Points balance and initial capital | Local (App Group) | Displaying balance and milestones |
| Violations entered (date, category, points deducted) | Local (App Group) | Balance and point-restoration date calculation |
| Post-license training (if applicable) | Local (App Group) | Reduction of the legal probation duration |
| Onboarding and notification preferences | Local (UserDefaults) |
Displaying the start screen and managing reminders |
3. Data not collected
Probato does not collect:
- Your GPS location
- Your advertising identifier (IDFA)
- Biometric data
- Contact information
4. Network and usage analytics
Probato exchanges data with two third-party services, never with Alexandre Paul directly:
- Apple StoreKit: manages the Probato Premium purchase (purchase, restore).
- PostHog (hosted in Europe,
eu.i.posthog.com): anonymized usage measurement (app opened, onboarding completed, paywall shown, purchase completed). These events are tied to a technical identifier not linked to your civil identity, do not enable cross-app advertising tracking (as defined by Apple), and are never sold or shared with third parties.
There is no server or backend specific to Probato, and no user account.
5. Widget and App Group
Probato offers a home screen widget that reads a subset of the data above (points balance, next milestone) via an App Group (group.com.kenoby.probato) shared only between the application and its widget, both installed on your device. None of this data leaves your device.
6. Notifications
Probato may send you local notifications (milestone upgrade, point restoration, low points threshold) if you authorize them. These notifications are scheduled and triggered locally on your device, without going through a remote server.
7. Backups
Your data may be backed up via iCloud Backup or iTunes/Finder if you have enabled these iOS features. This falls under Apple's privacy policy, not Probato's.
8. Your rights
Since all data is on your device, you can at any time:
- Edit your profile in the Settings tab
- Delete individual violations
- Delete all data by uninstalling the application
9. Contact
For any privacy-related question, you can contact us at alexandre-paul@outlook.com.
10. Compliance
This application complies with:
- GDPR regulations (anonymized usage data only, no identifying personal data transmitted to third parties)
- Apple's App Store Review Guidelines regarding privacy
- The
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacyfile declaring product-interaction data collected for analytics, with no advertising tracking
