What stays on your device
Your item library, your trips, your packing lists, which items are packed, which bag each one goes in and the quantities — all of it is stored on your device and synced to your other devices through your private iCloud database. That database belongs to your Apple Account. We have no access to it and no way to read it.
Auto Pack also keeps a small local record of which suggestions you turn down, so it can stop suggesting them. It never leaves your device.
What leaves your device, and where it goes
Three Apple services, each for one specific job.
| Service | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
| iCloud (CloudKit) |
Your items, trips and packing lists, in your own private database | So the app works across your devices |
| Apple Weather (WeatherKit) |
The coordinates of a trip's destination and the trip's dates | To fetch the forecast shown on the trip |
| Apple Maps (MapKit) |
The destination text you type, or its coordinates | To turn what you typed into a real place |
These are handled by Apple under Apple's Privacy Policy. We receive nothing back that identifies you, and we store none of it.
Auto Pack never asks for your location
The app has no location permission and never requests one. The only place it ever looks up is the destination you type in yourself. Your device's own position is never read, never sent and never stored.
On-device intelligence
Categorising an item and reading a trip description are done on your device. Where Apple Intelligence is available the app uses Apple's on-device foundation models; where it is not, a built-in dictionary of common travel items does the same job. In neither case is the text sent anywhere.
Reminders
If you choose to import a packing list from the Reminders app, Auto Pack asks for read access and reads the titles on the list you pick. That happens entirely on your device, the app never writes to your reminders, and nothing from them is transmitted.
Notifications, widgets and Live Activities
- Reminders before a trip are scheduled by your device and delivered by your device. Nothing is sent to a push server.
- Widgets and the Live Activity read a small summary — destination name, packed count, total, start date — from a shared container on your device.
- Siri and Shortcuts act on your local data; requests are handled by Apple as described in its own privacy policy.
What we do not do
- No analytics, crash reporting or usage measurement of any kind
- No advertising, ad identifiers or tracking across apps or websites
- No third-party SDKs — the app has no external dependencies at all
- No accounts, no sign-in, no email address collected
- No selling or sharing of data, because we hold none to sell or share
Children
Auto Pack is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, children included. It requires no account and asks for no personal information.
Deleting your data
Deleting the app removes everything stored on that device. To remove the synced copy as well, turn off iCloud for Auto Pack, or delete its data under Settings ▸ Apple Account ▸ iCloud ▸ Manage Storage. We cannot delete it for you, because we cannot reach it.
Changes
If the app starts doing something new with data, this page changes in the same release and the date at the top moves. It is written from the app's actual behaviour, not from a template.
