Last Updated: January 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Spotlight Map ("we", "our", or "the app") handles information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Data Collection

Spotlight Map does not collect, transmit, or share any personal information or user data.

The app processes all searches locally on your device using Apple Intelligence. We do not:

• Collect any personal information
• Store or transmit your search queries
• Track your location or search history
• Use analytics or tracking services
• Share data with third parties
• Store data on external servers
• Require user accounts or sign-in
• Access your contacts, photos, or other personal device data

On-Device Processing

All natural language search processing happens entirely on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your search queries are:

• Processed locally on your device
• Never sent to our servers
• Not stored or logged anywhere
• Not shared with any third parties

Apple Maps Integration

Spotlight Map uses Apple Maps to display places and map data. When you use the app:

• Map data is provided directly by Apple Maps
• Apple Maps data requests are subject to Apple's privacy policy
• We do not have access to or control over Apple Maps data collection
• For information about Apple's data practices, please review Apple's Privacy Policy

Location Services

Spotlight Map may request access to your location to:

• Show nearby search results
• Center the map on your current location
• Provide distance calculations

Location data is:

• Used only on your device
• Never transmitted to our servers

• Optional - you can use the app without location services

Any app settings or preferences are stored locally on your device using iOS's standard UserDefaults system. This data:

• Is not accessible to us or any third parties
• Is deleted if you uninstall the app
• Can be managed through your device settings

Third-Party Services

Spotlight Map does not integrate with any third-party analytics tools, advertising networks, or data collection services beyond Apple Maps for map display. The app is self-contained and privacy-focused.

Children's Privacy

Spotlight Map is suitable for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any data, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else.

Data Security

Since we do not collect, transmit, or store any user data on our servers, there is no data to be compromised. All processing happens on your device under iOS's security protections.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since Spotlight Map does not collect or store any personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over the app's functionality through your device settings.
