Any Minute — Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 November 2026 · Aakasa Labs
Any Minute shows a group travelling to one place where each other are, so nobody has to ask. This policy says exactly what that costs in data. It is short because the app collects little.
What we collect, and why
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | It is the whole account. There is no password. | Until you delete the account |
| Display name | Shown to the people on your trip, on the map and on the roster. | Until you delete the account |
| Username | So friends can find you. Optional to use, and you choose it. | Until you delete the account |
| Precise location | Your position and ETA, shown only to people on the same trip. | Deleted an hour after the trip is over |
| Trip details you type | The trip's name and where it is going. | Until the trip is deleted or the account is |
| Feedback you send | To answer you and fix what you reported. | 180 days |
Location, specifically
- It is sent only while a trip is running and only after you say you are coming. When you arrive it keeps going for up to 15 minutes, so the people on your trip can find you, and then stops on its own. If others arrive after you, it can run longer, but never more than 45 minutes after your own arrival. You can stop it at any point with Stop.
- It continues while the app is in the background, because you will be following a navigation app rather than this one. iOS shows the location indicator and Android shows a notification the whole time.
- Your position is replaced as you move, not added to. We keep one coordinate per person per trip, so there is no history to hand over, sell or lose.
- Your live position is wiped as soon as you stop sharing. Every coordinate and route is deleted an hour after the trip is over: an hour after the last traveller is heard from, or after the planned arrival time if that is later. What remains is the trip itself — its name, where it was going, who was on it and when they got there.
- Nothing is sent when no trip is running.
Who can see it
Only people on the same trip who have been let in to it. Opening an invite link shows you nothing until the organiser lets you in. Joining, answering, arriving and leaving are recorded and shown to everyone on that trip — names and times only, never positions — so nobody can watch a group and then erase that they were there.
Who else processes it
- Supabase — hosts the database and sends your sign-in code.
- Google Maps, Places and Routes — the map, place search and drive times.
- Apple and Google push services — delivering notifications to your device.
They process this data to run the app and nothing else. We do not sell your data, do not share it for advertising, and there is no analytics or tracking SDK in the app. The iOS privacy manifest declares Any Minute as not tracking.
What we never collect
No contacts or address book, no phone number, no photos, no browsing history, no advertising identifier. Your email is never searchable and never shown to other users. A home address you save stays on your device and is never uploaded.
Deleting everything
In the app: You → Delete my account. It removes your email, name, username, every position, the trips you host and your seat on everyone else's — on the server and on the device. It cannot be undone. You can also stop sharing at any point during a trip without leaving it.
Children
Any Minute is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, the date above changes and the app's Privacy screen is updated in the same release.
