Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2024
The short version: RestMap processes everything on your device. We don't track your location, store your data on servers, or sell your information. Your privacy is protected by design.
Our Privacy Promise
RestMap was built with privacy as a core principle. We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice your privacy to find a clean restroom.
What We Don't Collect
- Location data - Your location is processed entirely on your device and never sent to our servers
- Personal information - We don't require accounts, emails, or any identifying information
- Usage tracking - We don't track which restrooms you visit or your travel patterns
- Device identifiers - We don't collect device IDs or create user profiles
On-Device AI Processing
Our RestRoom IQ feature uses on-device machine learning to analyze and rate restroom quality. This processing happens entirely on your iPhone - no data is sent to external servers for analysis.
Community Ratings
When you choose to submit a rating, we collect:
- The location of the place being rated (not your location)
- Your rating (Good, Okay, Poor, or No Restroom)
- Optional amenity information you provide
Ratings are anonymous and not linked to any personal identifier.
Analytics
We use privacy-preserving analytics to understand how the app is used in aggregate. This helps us improve the app but does not identify individual users. You can opt out of analytics in your device's Settings under Privacy.
Third-Party Services
RestMap uses Apple Maps for map display and directions. When you request directions, your query is handled by Apple according to their privacy policy.
Data Storage
Your preferences, favorites, and trip history are stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage. This data is included in your iCloud backup if you have that enabled.
Children's Privacy
RestMap does not knowingly collect any information from children. The app is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes through the app.
