PRIVACY, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Your possible move is personal.
Settle is designed without accounts, advertising, or paid placement. Your workspace stays on your device unless you choose to erase it.
Information stored on your device
Saved cities, comparisons, move plans, housing candidates, and Daily Reach places are stored locally on your device. Reset local workspace in Settings removes the workspace and saved navigation state. Uninstalling the app also removes its local data.
Information used to answer requests
Settle uses a small number of named services to answer requests:
- Geoapify receives place-search text or Daily Reach coordinates to return matching places and no-traffic drive-time estimates. Geoapify says successful API-request details are generally retained no longer than 24 hours.
- Open-Meteo receives city-level coordinates and date ranges to return historical climate observations.
- Wikimedia receives city-image searches and serves attributable photographs.
- U.S. Census Bureau geocoding and Census Reporter receive city-level coordinates or geographic identifiers to return public demographic and commute facts.
- Cloudflare hosts Settle’s website and data gateway and processes normal network metadata needed to deliver and protect those requests.
Providers may process request content and technical information under their own policies. Settle does not send your saved move plan, housing notes, checklist state, or comparisons to these services.
No advertising or tracking
Settle does not sell personal information, create advertising profiles, accept paid neighborhood placement, or track activity across other companies’ apps and websites. Version 1.0 does not include third-party advertising or behavioral analytics SDKs.
Retention and deletion
Local workspace information remains until you reset it or uninstall Settle. The data gateway does not edge-cache place searches or route requests. Stored Worker invocation logs and automatic tracing are disabled so Settle does not intentionally persist search text, route coordinates, or its provider key in application telemetry. Historical climate and public city-image responses may be cached for up to 30 days. Cloudflare and the named providers may retain limited security, billing, and request logs under their own policies.
Your choices
- Use Reset local workspace in Settings to remove the app’s local workspace.
