GoGo Journey — Privacy Policy
Our promise
GoGo Journey is built for children and the grown-ups who travel with them, and we designed it to be private by default. This policy explains, in plain language, what we do and do not do with information. The short version: we do not collect personal information about your child, we show no ads, and there is no chat or social sharing.
Who this app is for
GoGo Journey is a parent-controlled, child-facing travel companion intended for families with children roughly ages 3 to 10. Parents and caregivers set up trips; children use a simple, safe journey screen. The app does not create child accounts and does not ask children for any personal information.
Information we do NOT collect
- We do not collect your child's name, birthday, email address, photos, videos, voice recordings, or messages.
- We do not require an account, login, or sign-in to use the app.
- We do not include chat, messaging, social sharing, or any user-generated content.
- We do not show third-party advertising.
- We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs in the child-facing experience.
- We do not build advertising profiles, use tracking identifiers, or sell or share personal information.
- We do not store your location history.
Information the app uses on your device
To make the app work, a small amount of information is kept only on your device and is never sent to us:
- Trip details you enter (such as a destination name and estimated trip length) are held only for the active trip and are cleared when the trip ends.
- Your preferences (such as sound on/off, quiet mode, and update frequency) are saved on the device so the app remembers your settings.
- A simple flag that remembers whether you have completed the welcome screens.
None of this identifies your child, and none of it leaves your device.
Location (Car Mode only)
In Car Mode, and only if you allow it, GoGo Journey uses your device's location while a trip is active to show how far along the journey is and to offer facts about where you are. We request "When In Use" access only.
- Location is used in real time, in memory, only during the active trip.
- Location is never saved as history, never stored after the trip ends, and never uploaded to us or anyone else.
- If you deny location access, the app still works — it simply uses a time-based journey instead.
- Plane, Train, and Boat modes do not use location at all.
The app works offline
All of the fun facts, prompts, and games are built into the app, so GoGo Journey works with no internet connection (for example, on an airplane). Because the app does not need to talk to a server to run, there is no routine transmission of information from the app.
No third-party advertising or analytics
The child-facing experience contains no third-party advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking technologies. We do not allow advertisers to target your child, and we do not share information with data brokers.
Parental controls
A parental gate protects everything outside the child's screen. Before anyone can reach settings, change or enter a destination, make a purchase, or open any link outside the child experience, the app asks a simple question intended for a grown-up. The child screen itself contains no external links, no purchase buttons, and no ads.
Children's privacy (COPPA, GDPR-K, and similar laws)
We designed GoGo Journey to align with children's privacy laws such as the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the "children's" provisions of the EU/UK GDPR. Because we do not collect personal information from children, we do not knowingly gather data that would require verifiable parental consent. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and deletion
Trip information exists only for the active trip and is deleted when the trip ends. Preferences remain on your device until you change them or delete the app. Deleting the app removes this information from your device. Because we do not collect personal information on our servers, there is nothing about your child for us to retain or delete on our side.
Security
Since information stays on your device, your device's own protections (such as a passcode and iOS security) are the primary safeguards. We keep the app's data footprint intentionally small to reduce risk.
Purchases
GoGo Journey offers one optional paid upgrade, GoGo Journey Plus, available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store — we never see or store your payment details. The purchase screen can only be reached from the parent settings area, behind the parental gate, and no purchase buttons, prices, or upgrade prompts ever appear on the child's screen. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled anytime in your Apple Account settings.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we make meaningful changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, note the change in the app or on our website.
