Privacy promise
No accounts. No servers. No tracking.
The plain-language version. The formal text is in the privacy policy.
What we promise
- Ureka does not receive your location, photos, contacts or messages. The app is designed with no Ureka server that handles them.
- No account. There is nothing to sign up for and no profile of you.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking software in the app, and no cookies or analytics on this website.
- No selling or renting data. We hold none to sell.
- You start every share. No background tracking and no hidden camera.
Where your information actually goes
| Information | Where it lives | Who else can touch it |
|---|---|---|
| Your three contacts | On your phone, in secure storage. | Nobody at Ureka. Apple or Google may include them in device backups you control. |
| Your location, when you tap | Read by the app on your phone, put into a map link. | Your phone’s map provider when a contact opens the link; your messaging app, carrier and your contact’s service once you send. |
| Photos (optional) | Taken on your phone and kept briefly in a temporary file, deleted after hand-off or a short expiry. | Your messaging or mail app, carriers and your contacts’ services once you send. |
| Your purchase | Handled by Apple or Google. | Apple or Google, under their own terms. Ureka sees only whether your subscription is active. |
The honest limits
“Ureka does not store your location” is true and we stand behind it. It does not mean no one stores it. When you send a message, the messaging app, your carrier, email providers and the people you send it to can keep it. We cannot control that, and we will not claim otherwise.
Apple and Google process app downloads and payments. Our website is served by Google Firebase Hosting, which keeps ordinary technical logs (such as IP address and page requested) for security and operation.
You can check us
We plan to publish a short guide showing how anyone can watch the app’s network traffic and confirm it sends nothing to Ureka. Trust is easier when you can verify it.
Things we will not do
- No recurring or remote location tracking of other people.
- No collecting identity documents, such as a driver’s license.
- No selling data, no ads, no social-media logins.
