SkyMap Privacy Policy
Location
SkyMap asks for location permission ("while using the app") to show where you are on the skyway map and follow your progress along a route. Your coordinates are processed entirely in memory on your device. They are never saved, never transmitted to us (we have no server that could receive them), and never shared with anyone. Declining location access disables only those features — everything else works normally.
What the app stores on your device
- Your five most recent destinations (building names), so search can offer them again.
- A parking ramp you explicitly chose to save, so you can route back to it.
- The app's own files and map data, cached for offline use.
All of this stays in your device's local storage. Deleting the app (or clearing website data, for the web version) removes it completely.
Network requests the app makes
- Map tiles from OpenFreeMap — like any online map, the tile server sees your IP address and which map areas you view. OpenFreeMap states it does not log or track users.
- Landmark photos hosted by Wikimedia Commons, fetched only when you open a landmark's card.
- The app itself and its data from our static hosting. Skyway data comes from OpenStreetMap and contains no personal information.
That is the complete list. There are no analytics services, ad networks, or third-party trackers of any kind.
Feedback
The Feedback and Report buttons open a form inside the app. When you tap Send, what you typed is sent to our feedback endpoint and emailed to the developer. That message contains:
- The text you wrote.
- Your email address, only if you chose to enter one so we can reply. Leave it blank and we have no way to identify you.
- Which app build you're on, and — for a report about a specific place — which place it was about, so the report is answerable.
Your IP address is briefly held in memory to rate-limit abuse of the form; it is not stored or logged with your message. Messages are delivered by Resend, an email service, and land in a personal inbox. They are not used for anything other than answering and fixing what you reported, and they are never sold or shared.
Nothing is sent unless you tap Send. If the form can't reach us, it falls back to opening your own email app with a draft — in that case the message goes through your email provider, not through us.
Changes
If SkyMap ever adds a feature that changes any of the above, this policy will be updated first and the "last updated" date bumped.
