What Travanity does
Travanity turns your iPhone screen into a roadside signal — Hazard, SOS, Flare, Red, and Light modes plus control of the rear LED — and links to the separate TowFi roadside assistance app. It also includes a travel vanity: a camera view that replays the back of your hair and outfit when you turn around and back, with a screen-based ring light. Travanity is built by Belmont General LLC (doing business as Belmont Labs), the company behind TowFi and RunGo Maps.
Data we do not collect
Travanity has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no login. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:
- Names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers
- Photos, video, or audio — nothing recorded, nothing uploaded
- Location data of any kind
- Analytics, usage telemetry, or crash reports
- Device identifiers (IDFA, IDFV, or fingerprints)
- Cookies or cross-app tracking of any kind
The camera and the vanity
The roadside signals never use the camera. The travel vanity works by keeping roughly the last twelve seconds of camera video in your phone's working memory so it can replay your back view. That video is continuously discarded as new video arrives. It is never written to disk, never uploaded, and disappears completely when you leave the app.
When you tap Save on a frozen frame, one picture is added to your photo library using Apple's add-only access — the app can put pictures in, but can never browse, read, or delete anything in your library.
Microphone and speech
Voice control is optional and can be turned off at any time with the mic button or in Settings. When it is on, the microphone is used only while the app is open, solely to listen for short commands such as "more light" or "show me again."
Speech is converted to text by Apple's speech recognition. On iPhones that support on-device recognition, this happens entirely on your phone. On devices that do not, audio may be sent to Apple to be converted to text, subject to Apple's privacy policy. Either way, Belmont General LLC never receives your audio or transcripts, and nothing is recorded or kept.
Permissions at a glance
| Permission | Required? | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Vanity only — asked when you first open it | Showing you yourself, on this screen only |
| Microphone | Optional — asked when you turn voice on | Hands-free voice commands while the app is open |
| Speech Recognition | Optional | Turning your commands into text, on-device when supported |
| Photos (add-only) | Optional — asked with the camera | Saving a frozen vanity picture when you tap Save |
| Rear LED | No permission needed | Lighting the LED on the back alongside a signal |
Nothing is requested when the app opens — the roadside signals work with no permissions at all. Declining any permission simply disables that one feature.
Data that stays on your device
The app stores a small amount of data locally so your preferences persist between sessions. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us:
| What | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Signal & vanity preferences | Last signal, brightness, warmth, view size, true-view | Device only |
| Voice, chime & haptic switches | Your Settings toggles | Device only |
| First-run hints | So tips only show once | Device only |
You can erase all of this at any time in the app's Settings under "Delete app data," or by deleting the app from your device.
Third-party services and links
Travanity uses no third-party services during operation. The app contains outbound links to the TowFi roadside assistance app on the App Store, to towfiapp.com, and to travanity.com. Those destinations are separate from this app and are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.
Children's privacy
Travanity does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app contains no accounts, social features, or user-generated content.
App Store privacy label
In accordance with Apple's App Store requirements, Travanity declares that it collects no data linked to your identity and no data used to track you.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this policy, we will update this page and change the effective date above. Continued use of Travanity after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
