StayCount Privacy Policy
How Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp) collects, uses, and stores data in the StayCount mobile app (co.bitscorp.staycount).
Privacy Policy
Effective date: 14 November 2026. I take your privacy seriously. This notice explains what StayCount stores on your device, what (if anything) leaves the device, and how to contact me.
Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp), a self-employed professional (autónomo) in Spain, operates the mobile application StayCount (co.bitscorp.staycount). Bitscorp is a trading name, not a registered company. This page applies to StayCount on iOS and Android. The website https://bitscorp.co has a separate Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
The app
StayCount is a local-first day counter for travelers and families who watch stay rules such as Schengen 90/180, the UK visitor rule, a custom window, or a 183-day tax year. You stamp trips, review remaining days, and optionally export a proof pack.
Data stored on your device
- Trip history, household traveler profiles, stay rules, tax-year settings, and reminders in a local SQLite database (or local browser storage in the web build).
- Optional location is processed on this device and reduced to a country code. The precise location is not stored as a track and is not sent to Bitscorp.
- Proof-pack PDF and CSV files you generate, until you share or delete them.
- Local reminder notifications. Remote push notifications are disabled.
Data that leaves your device
- Nothing in your trip ledger is uploaded to a Bitscorp server. There is no StayCount backend.
- A file leaves the device only when you choose to share an export through the system share sheet.
- If you send feedback, your email app may include the app version, build number, operating system, and device model in a message to alex@bitscorp.co.
- Purchase and subscription status are handled by Apple or Google and RevenueCat, as described below.
Permissions
- Location (optional): used once a day, or in the background if you enable it, only to log which country you are in. You can use the app by entering trips manually.
- Notifications (optional): local reminders before a stay window runs out. There is no remote push service.
You can change or withdraw permissions in the operating system settings.
Sensitive information
Stay records can reveal where you have been. They stay on your device unless you export or share them.
Analytics and crash reporting
StayCount does not include a third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK. I do not run Mixpanel, Google Analytics, Firebase, Sentry, or a similar product inside this app. The stores and RevenueCat may keep their own purchase or install records under their policies.
Third parties
I only involve the parties below for the purposes stated. Each has its own privacy policy.
- RevenueCat: To check and restore your Pro entitlement. RevenueCat receives purchase tokens, subscription status, and an anonymous app user identifier. It does not receive the journal, photos, files, or other content you keep in the app.
- Apple: If you buy or manage a subscription or a lifetime purchase on the App Store, Apple processes the payment. We do not receive your full payment card number.
- Google: If you buy or manage a subscription or a lifetime purchase on Google Play, Google processes the payment. We do not receive your full payment number.
Accounts, servers, and retention
No Bitscorp server. Location is reduced to a country code on the device. Purchases are validated by RevenueCat and the app stores.
StayCount does not require a Bitscorp account. Information stored only on your device remains there until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Purchase records are kept by Apple or Google and by RevenueCat for as long as they need them to provide the subscription. If you email me, I keep the message long enough to respond and then delete it when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Because most StayCount content never leaves your device, the practical way to access or delete it is in the app, or by uninstalling the app (which removes local data). For any personal data I hold in email, or questions about purchase records, write to alex@bitscorp.co. If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar rights, you may also request access, correction, deletion, or a restriction of processing of personal data I hold, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In Spain that authority is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
International processing
I am based in Spain. Apple, Google, and RevenueCat may process purchase data in other countries. Their policies describe those transfers.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 14 November 2026. I may update it from time to time. The current version will always be at https://bitscorp.co/staycount/privacy. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and I may also note them in the app.
