Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

Overview

GPS Sync is a native macOS application developed by Koray Bırand. Your privacy is important. This policy explains what data GPS Sync collects, stores, and shares — which is essentially nothing.

Data Collection

GPS Sync does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no telemetry. Your videos and GPS tracks never leave your Mac.

Local Data

The app stores the following data locally on your device only:

Project files (.gsv) — saved to locations you choose via the standard macOS Save dialog.
Imported and exported tracks — GPX, KML, KMZ and NMEA files you open or save, at locations you choose.
Recent files list — stored in macOS UserDefaults as security‑scoped bookmarks so the app can reopen your recent projects and relink videos.
Preferences — units, overlay presets and keyboard‑shortcut customizations, stored locally in UserDefaults.

None of this data ever leaves your device.

Network Access

GPS Sync uses the network for one purpose only: to load Apple Maps map tiles for the route view, through Apple's MapKit framework. This is handled by macOS. GPS Sync operates no servers of its own, performs no cloud sync, and sends none of your files, GPS data, or personal information anywhere. Map‑tile requests are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.

Third‑Party Services

Aside from Apple's own MapKit (for map tiles), GPS Sync does not integrate with any third‑party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Children's Privacy

GPS Sync does not collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
