Introduction

CA Post Tracker ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our app handles information when you use our Canada Post tracking services. This app is an unofficial third-party application and is not affiliated with Canada Post Corporation.

App Access

No account or registration is required to use this app. All features are available immediately upon download and acceptance of the disclaimer.

Information Stored Locally

The app only stores the following information locally on your device using AsyncStorage:

• We do not log or store these requests
• Tracking history is saved only on your device (optional)
