Privacy policy

Effective November 12, 2026 · Questions: support@behaviortrail.com

BehaviorTrail helps parents and caregivers keep a daily log for a child and share a summary with the child's care team. It's built so the family's records stay with the family.

What BehaviorTrail keeps, and where

Everything you enter, including:

• the child's first name or nickname, optional date of birth, and optional diagnoses
• what you track: behaviors and their descriptions, toileting, sleep, health flags, medications and supplements with each dose
• your check-ins and notes, and the times they were logged

It's kept in two places:

• On your iPhone, in BehaviorTrail's storage, protected by your device's passcode and encryption.
• In your iCloud account, when iCloud sync is on, so your records are backed up and can be shared with another caregiver you invite. This uses Apple's iCloud (CloudKit). Apple stores it in your iCloud account under Apple's privacy policy, and we don't have access to it.

BehaviorTrail also keeps a few settings on your phone: which areas you track, reminder times, and times it learned from your check-ins.

Sharing with another caregiver

You can invite another caregiver (for example, a co-parent) to see and add to your child's records:

• You choose who. Apple's sharing screen sends them a private link.
• They can see everything in the shared records, and add to them. Each entry shows which phone logged it.
• You can remove them or stop sharing at any time. Their phone keeps what it already received, so only share with people you trust with this information.
• If someone shares records with you, you can leave at any time; their copy isn't affected.

Reports and exports

• The "Report for your care team" PDF and the "Export all data" files are made on your phone. They only go where you send them (email, Messages, Files, AirDrop, print).
• The report can show initials instead of the child's first name.
• Once you share a file, it's handled by whoever receives it; BehaviorTrail can't recall it.

Siri, widgets, and controls

If you use Siri, Shortcuts, the Home Screen widget, or Control Center buttons, Apple's systems run BehaviorTrail's actions on your phone. Siri may process what you say according to Apple's privacy policy. BehaviorTrail receives only the action (for example, "log bedtime").

Notifications

Check-in reminders, if you turn them on, are scheduled on your phone. No notification server is involved.

What we don't do

• No advertising, and no advertising or analytics tools in the app.
• No tracking across apps or websites.
• No selling or renting of information.
• No collection of location, contacts, photos, or audio.
• No sending your records to us, or to anyone you didn't choose.

This website

This site has no cookies, analytics, or tracking scripts. Like any website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) briefly processes standard connection information, such as IP addresses, to deliver pages and protect against abuse.

Children's information

BehaviorTrail is for parents and caregivers to use, not for children. The information about a child is entered by the parent or caregiver and stays in their control as described above.

Health information

BehaviorTrail is a record-keeping tool. It doesn't diagnose, give medical advice, or recommend medications or doses. The reports show what was logged; decisions belong to you and your care team.

Deleting your information

• In the app: Profile → Erase all data. This removes all records and settings from your phone, and your own records from iCloud. If you were sharing, sharing ends.
• Deleting the app also removes the records stored on your phone.
• Copies you exported or shared, and backups of your phone, aren't affected; delete those where you keep them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. Changes that affect how your information is handled will be noted in the app's release notes.
