Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025
Your privacy is important. This policy explains how the Japanese Shrine & Temple Explorer app handles your data.
Location Data
- We use your location ('When In Use' or 'Always') to show nearby places, automatically track visits, and send nearby notifications.
- 'Always' access is required for background tracking and notifications.
- Precise location processing happens on your device; it is not sent to our servers for tracking purposes.
Visited Data & Preferences
- The list of places you visit and your app settings (like notification distances, theme) are stored locally on your device using UserDefaults.
- Your visit history, including timestamps and visit counts, is also stored locally on your device.
- This data is not stored on external servers and is deleted if you uninstall the app.
Usage Data
- We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (e.g., feature usage frequency, crash reports) via standard platform services (like App Store Connect analytics) to improve the app. This data does not personally identify you.
Third-Party Services
- Apple Maps: MapKit is used for map display and location services. Interaction is subject to Apple's policies.
- No Other Sharing: We do not share your personal location or visit data with other third parties.
Your Control
- You can manage location permissions and notification settings in your device's Settings app.
- You can reset your visited places list and visit history within this app's settings.
