Tax Residency privacy and travel records
How Flags keeps a private travel record on iPhone and why a personal record is different from formal tax evidence.
Residency information can reveal a great deal about a person. Flags is designed to help you review a travel record assembled from photo metadata and manual confirmation, rather than expecting you to reconstruct every trip from memory when a threshold becomes relevant. Its App Store listing describes an on-device design with no GPS tracking, account or cloud storage.
Review, then correct
Photo-based suggestions can make it easier to reconstruct travel, but they are not complete proof. A photo can be missing, have incomplete location information or represent only part of a journey. Check each stay and add missing travel manually before treating the resulting total as useful.
Keep tickets, accommodation records, work records and other documents separately where you need them for an adviser or authority. The app helps you review dates; it does not turn a camera-roll entry into formal tax evidence. The day-record review guide gives a practical sequence for checking a period.
The app is not an adviser
The app's purpose is to surface a possible issue early. It does not establish tax residence, calculate every treaty position, or replace a qualified adviser who can consider the full facts. Country rules can depend on more than days, including the tax year, personal ties, work, accommodation and treaty provisions.
Use a warning as a prompt to investigate, not as an answer to a filing or residency question. That boundary matters most when you are close to a threshold or have connections to more than one jurisdiction.
Website privacy
Your app travel record and your website visit are distinct. The website has its own limited, aggregate measurement and support-form data handling; it is not a copy of your travel-day record. Read the privacy policy for the precise website policy.
For the product boundary itself, see limits and scope. Flags is an early-warning tool, not tax advice; confirm with a qualified adviser.
