What stays on your device

Mikey’s Maps stores journeys, coordinates, available timestamps, saved places, notes, settings and offline trip packs locally. The app does not operate an account system, advertising network, analytics service, cloud-sync service or live-sharing backend. Your device backup settings may include app data.

Location permission

Location is used to show your position, record journeys, save places and guide you along a saved trail. Active recording or following may receive background location while permitted by iOS. You can stop that activity in the app or change location permission in iOS Settings. The app does not substitute a demonstration location when a real GPS fix is unavailable.

Online maps and searches

Apple Maps, Apple place search and the map provider you select receive network requests. These requests reveal your IP address and the map area being viewed or downloaded; search terms are sent to Apple. The requested area can be near your actual location. Each provider processes those requests under its own policies, which may include service, error or security logs. We do not control those providers’ retention.

Downloads and local files

GPX import reads the files you choose or open. Available space is checked before offline downloads; the app does not upload that storage information. “Use downloaded maps only” blocks network access for the trip-pack map, not for every other screen or online service on your device.

Sharing and support

When you export a GPX file, you choose the destination. The export can include coordinates, timestamps, names and notes. That recipient or service then handles the file under its own practices. If you contact support, we receive the information you send and use it to respond to your request; avoid sending sensitive location history unless needed and intended.

Support email is received through Gmail and used to respond to your request. You can email the same address to ask about or request deletion of correspondence you have sent.

This website

This website is hosted on Cloudflare. It has no advertising, analytics scripts, forms, embedded trackers or application cookies. Hosting providers necessarily receive network information to deliver and protect the site. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Links to external services open pages governed by their own policies.

Your choices and deletion

Delete individual journeys, saved places and offline packs in the app. Export a copy first if you want to keep it. Removing the app may delete local data; device backups and copies you shared are managed separately. Contact mikeyfriedchicken@gmail.com about information you previously sent to support or other privacy questions.

Changes

This policy will be updated when the app’s data handling changes.
