Privacy Policy

Information TouristApp uses

Location and route information

With your permission, TouristApp uses precise location to show your position, find tourist sites, calculate routes, provide navigation, and reroute when needed. During active navigation, location may be used in the background so guidance can continue while the app is not visible or the device is locked.

Route requests and map functions are provided through Apple Maps. Searches for tourist sites may send geographic search areas to the TouristApp service and OpenStreetMap Overpass services. Wikipedia or Wikidata identifiers and place names may be used to retrieve available descriptions.

Content you save

Saved trips, favorites, settings, prepared tourist content, and cached descriptions are stored on your device. You can remove saved content in the app or by deleting TouristApp.

Diagnostics

TouristApp can store navigation diagnostic events on your device, including precise route locations, to help troubleshoot guidance and performance. These diagnostics leave your device only when you explicitly choose to share them. iOS may also provide crash, hang, launch, CPU, and memory diagnostics, which TouristApp stores locally for review and optional sharing. Diagnostic data can be deleted in Settings.

Place correction reports

If you submit a correction, TouristApp sends the place’s OpenStreetMap identifier, name, category, coordinates, report reason, relevant Wikipedia or Wikidata identifiers, and any details you enter. The service also processes a one-way hash derived from the network address for short-term abuse prevention. Correction reports are retained for up to 180 days.

How information is used

Information is used only to provide and improve app functions, including mapping, routing, navigation, tourist-site discovery, offline content, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and correction review. TouristApp does not require an account, show third-party advertising, sell personal information, or track you across other companies’ apps and websites.

Services involved

• Apple Maps and MapKit provide maps, search, routes, traffic, and navigation-related data.
• OpenStreetMap and Overpass provide community-maintained place data.
• Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Wikimedia provide available place descriptions and media.

These providers may process network information and request data under their own privacy policies.
