Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Mappily keeps your places, trips, expenses, photos, categories, and profile preferences on your phone. The app does not require creating an account or syncing your library to a Mappily cloud service at mappily.app.

If anything in this policy conflicts with disclosures shown in the App Store or in-app purchase flow, the in-product disclosure for that feature applies for that transaction.

2. Information stored on your phone

Depending on how you use the app, Mappily may store:

• Places you save (names, coordinates, categories, notes, cover photos, custom order, archive state)
• Trips and itineraries (dates, travelers, budgets, currencies, planned times, reminder settings, stop completion)
• Expenses and split details, including Who Paid names and paid marks
• Profile preferences such as display name, avatar, home currency, split rounding, and appearance
• Purchase entitlement state for Mappily Pro (including restore status from the store)
• Onboarding and help walkthrough progress

Archived places remain available for restore or permanent delete and are auto-deleted after 30 days.

3. Location and maps

Location and map features help you save places, show distance, plot pins, and plan trips. Location processing uses on-phone and platform map services you authorize. Mappily does not run a separate location-tracking service.

You can control location permission in iOS Settings. Denying permission may limit map, distance, or save-from-map features.

4. Photos and media

If you attach cover photos, they are stored on your phone with your place data. Photo library and camera access are requested only when you choose to add or crop media. Photos are not uploaded to a Mappily cloud account.

5. Notifications

Stop reminders use local notifications on your phone. Reminder content stays on your phone and requires trip dates plus notification permission. You can change notification permission in system settings at any time.

6. Sharing, import, and export

Trip sharing uses trip codes or share links generated on your phone. Shared trip packages can include itinerary details needed to import a copy. Photos and reminder settings are not included. Who Paid names stay on your phone and are not included in trip share codes.

Import from Google Maps exports and export of places are user-initiated and use the system document picker and share sheet. Per-trip expense CSV export is available from a trip’s Spending tab (Pro).

7. Purchases

Mappily Pro is a one-time unlock currently offered at $4.99 through the App Store purchase flow (and related restore purchases). Purchase processing, receipts, and payment details are handled by Apple (and, when enabled, a purchase provider). Mappily does not receive your full payment card details.

Entitlement state may be stored on your phone so the app can unlock Pro features after purchase or restore.

8. Analytics, accounts, and cloud services

Mappily does not require a user account and does not provide cloud sync for your place or trip library in the current product. We do not sell your personal information. This website at mappily.app does not use cookies or analytics.

If you contact support by email at support@mappily.app, we receive the information you include in that message so we can respond.

9. Data retention and deletion

Because library data is stored on your phone, deleting the app (or clearing app data) removes locally stored places, trips, expenses, photos, and preferences unless you previously exported them. Store purchase records remain governed by Apple’s policies and can typically be restored on a signed-in device.

10. Children’s privacy

Mappily is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through a Mappily account system (there is none). If you believe a child has provided personal information via support email, contact support@mappily.app and we will delete that correspondence where appropriate.

11. Changes

Mappily may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
