Zlatno Šetalište
The app collects nothing, because there is nothing to collect it with. Zlatno Šetalište has no server, no account, no analytics and no advertising. Everything it knows about your walk — your position, your progress, your photographs — is written to your phone's own storage and stays there.
Zlatno Šetalište is an offline guide to the coastal ecotrail in Montenegro. The trail is a project of NVO Ukrainogorci, Podgorica. Questions about this policy go to george.yakovlev.jr@gmail.com.
There is no registration in the app, no profile and no login. You never give it a name, an email address, a phone number or a password. Nothing identifies you to anyone, because nobody is on the other end.
The app asks for location permission so it can draw you on the trail and answer the question the whole app exists for: how far is the water, the next bed, the end of the stage.
You can refuse location permission or withdraw it later in iOS Settings. The map, the stages, the points and the descriptions all keep working; only your own position on the route disappears.
Plant and animal cards open when you photograph the real thing, and four further slots hold a selfie and three pictures of your own kit.
The base map, the hillshade, the trail tracks, all 219 points along the route and the whole card catalogue are packaged inside the app when you download it. There is no tile server behind the map and no content is fetched at runtime. The app makes no network requests of its own, in the foreground or otherwise.
One screen offers to open a bus or ferry stop in your maps app. Tapping it hands that stop's own fixed coordinates to Google Maps and leaves Zlatno Šetalište; your position is not part of that hand-off. Once you are in another app, that app's privacy policy applies.
The app contains no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no advertising network and no attribution or measurement library. It does not read the advertising identifier, does not show the App Tracking Transparency prompt, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. It also carries no over-the-air update mechanism, so it never contacts a server to check for one.
| What | Where it lives | Leaves the phone |
|---|---|---|
| Cards you unlocked, with the coordinates and time of each unlock | App storage | No |
| Your photographs for card and personal slots | The app's own folder on the device | No — unless you share one yourself |
| Captions you write for your photographs | App storage | No |
| Stage progress and walking time | App storage | No |
| Whether you have seen the intro screens | App storage | No |
None of this is encrypted beyond the protection iOS already applies to an app's private storage, and none of it is readable by other apps.
Deleting the app removes all of it — the unlock records, the copied photographs, the captions and the progress — because there is no copy anywhere else. Pictures you had already saved or shared to another app stay wherever you put them.
The app is rated 4+ and gathers no personal information from anyone, at any age.
Rules such as the GDPR give you the right to see, correct, export or erase the personal data a company holds about you. Here that right has nothing to act on: no data about you is held anywhere outside your own phone, so there is no request to make and no copy for anyone to hand over or delete. What is on the device is already yours, and deleting the app deletes it.
If a future version of the app starts doing something this page does not describe, this page is updated first and the date at the top changes with it. The page lives in the app's public source repository, so its history is open to read.
