Your research belongs to you.

Information ThesisTrack processes

ThesisTrack processes information you choose to enter or attach, including project plans, titles, sections, tasks, deadlines, word-count observations, work sessions, research sources, notes, quotes, tags, advisor feedback, meeting notes, ideas, document links, attachments, drawings, defense preparation, checklists, and app settings.

This information is used only to provide features inside ThesisTrack, such as planning, recommendations, progress calculations, reminders, exports, widgets, and backups.

Storage and iCloud

ThesisTrack is designed to work locally on your device. When iCloud functionality is available through your Apple Account, Apple may synchronize supported app data through your private iCloud database. JTR Labs does not operate a separate account system or thesis-data server and does not receive the contents of your private iCloud database.

Apple’s handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policy. External document access permissions and some device state remain local to each device.

Permissions and Apple integrations

• Notifications: requested only when you enable a reminder and used to schedule local thesis reminders.
• Calendar and Reminders: used only after an explicit export action. ThesisTrack does not silently edit exported items.
• Files and documents: used when you choose files, links, attachments, drawings, backups, or exports.
• Widgets and Live Activities: receive a limited, privacy-conscious snapshot needed to display the information you select.
• Share Sheet and App Intents: process only the content or action you deliberately send to ThesisTrack.

You can deny or later change system permissions in iOS Settings. Core project planning remains available without granting optional permissions.

Advertising and the Remove Ads purchase

The free version of ThesisTrack shows ads provided by Google AdMob. To deliver, limit, and measure those ads and to prevent fraud, Google’s software may collect device and usage information such as IP address, device model and operating system, approximate location derived from IP address, and how you interact with ads. Your device’s advertising identifier is used only if you allow tracking through Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt, and you can change that choice at any time in iOS Settings.

Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, and some U.S. states), ThesisTrack asks for your consent before personalized ads and lets you revisit that choice from Settings → Ad Privacy Choices. Google’s handling of this information is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

ThesisTrack never sends your thesis content, notes, sources, quotes, attachments, advisor feedback, or other project information to Google or any advertiser.

Remove Ads is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase processed by Apple. It turns off all ads on devices signed in to the same Apple Account. JTR Labs does not receive your payment details.

What JTR Labs does not do

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not share your thesis content, notes, sources, or files with advertisers.
• We do not create an advertising profile from your academic work.
• We do not require a JTR Labs account.
• We do not use your thesis content to train generative AI models.

Exports, backups, and linked services

When you export or share information, the resulting file or item is handled by the destination you choose. You control exported backups and are responsible for storing them securely. Links you open and third-party apps or services you choose are governed by their own privacy practices.

Retention and deletion

Your ThesisTrack information remains on your device and, where applicable, in your private iCloud storage until you delete it. You can delete individual records or projects inside the app. Removing the app deletes its local container, subject to iOS behavior; synced data or backups may remain in iCloud or locations you selected until you remove them there.

Children’s privacy

ThesisTrack is intended for higher-education and research planning and is not directed to children under 13. JTR Labs does not knowingly collect personal information from children through ThesisTrack.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy as ThesisTrack evolves or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
