A word on privacy
-----------------
##A word on privacy
Trackbook begins to store location data on device as soon a user presses the record button. Those recordings are stored in the directory `/Android/data/org.y20k.trackbook/files/tracks`. They never leave the device. There is no web-service backing Trackbook.
Trackook does not use Google Play Services to get its location data. It will however try to use data from the [NETWORK_PROVIDER](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager#NETWORK_PROVIDER) on your device to augment the location data it received via GPS. The NETWORK_PROVIDER is a system-wide service, that Trackbook has no control over whatsoever. This service will usually query an online database for the location of cell towers or Wi-Fi access points a device can see. You can prevent those kinds of requests on your device, if you set the location preferences system-wide to `Device Only`.
