Privacy policy

1Data used

Mondio creates no account and sends the developer no data: the developer has no server and sees neither your visited countries nor your passport. The travel data (country sheets, entry rules, borders, public holidays) is bundled in the app. Your visited countries and regions are stored on the device and in your private iCloud database (CloudKit), synchronized between your devices and managed by Apple according to your iCloud settings; the chosen passport and the settings stay on the device. Exchange rates are read from the public file of the European Central Bank, with no account or identifier; as with any Internet access, the ECB, which is not the developer, sees the device’s IP address. Mondio asks for no location, no camera, no microphone, no access to your contacts and no notifications.

2Advertising and purchases

Mondio is free, with every feature included: it is funded by Google AdMob advertising (a discreet banner and an optional rewarded video that gives 6 hours ad-free). The optional “Ad-Free” subscription (0.99 € per month or 4.99 € per year) removes every ad while it is active; it is handled by StoreKit and your Apple account, renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and is managed in your Apple Account settings. The app never receives payment card data. On first launch in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, a Google form (UMP) asks for your consent, which you can change in the app Settings; Apple’s tracking permission (App Tracking Transparency) is requested next and can be declined, in the iOS prompt or later in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Without it, the device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) is not shared; with it, the IDFA is used for advertising tracking, and it is the only data Mondio declares to Apple as used for tracking.

The Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform kits send directly to Google, without going through the developer: the device advertising identifier (only if you allow tracking), the IP address and an approximate location derived from it, the device model and system, performance and diagnostic data, and your interactions with ads. Google uses them to show, measure and cap ads, personalize them if you consent and fight fraud, under its own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).

3Children

Mondio is not aimed specifically at children, asks them for no personal information and offers no messaging, no exchange between users and no sharing to social networks. In France, a minor under 15 cannot consent alone to personalized advertising: a parent can decline tracking in the iOS prompt or in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and block tracking requests with Screen Time.

4Changes to this policy

This policy follows the app: it is revised whenever a processing changes, and the date at the top of the page shows its latest update. A significant change is also noted in the App Store release notes.

5Data sources

No data source of the developer: Mondio talks to no server of the developer. Only the public file of ECB rates, the Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform kits, for advertising and consent, iCloud (CloudKit), for sync, and the App Store, for the subscription, use the Internet. The developer adds no analytics tool. The bundled datasets and their licenses are listed in Settings › Sources and licenses.

6Retention

Data stays on the device as long as the app is installed, and in your iCloud until you delete it: you manage it in iPhone Settings › your name › iCloud. Advertising data follows Google’s retention rules.

7Your rights

Under the GDPR, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability or objection regarding your personal data. You may also contact your data protection authority.

8Contact

Mondio is published by BodyCorp, an independent developer and the data controller, who personally answers any question about your data.
