Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2025

Oxford City Guide ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application.

1. Summary

  • Data Not Collected: We do not collect or store personal data on our servers.
  • No Tracking: We do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not use IDFA (App Tracking Transparency is not requested).
  • On-Device Location: Location is processed on your device in real time and is not stored or transmitted to us.

2. Location Data

We access your device’s precise location while you use the app to:

  • Show your current position on the map
  • Center the map and provide nearby points of interest
  • Offer guided tour experiences relevant to your location
  • We do not access location in the background; location is only used while the app is open.

Location information is processed on-device only and is not stored, shared, or transmitted to our servers or third parties. You can disable location permissions at any time in your device settings; location-dependent features will be unavailable when disabled.

3. App Permissions

  • Location (While In Use, Precise): Used for map centering, nearby POIs, and tour guidance.
  • Microphone: Not used. We do not record audio.
  • Notifications: Not used (if introduced in the future, this policy will be updated).
  • Photos/Media: Not used.

4. Data Storage and Security

  • Local Storage: Map tiles, points of interest (POIs), and app preferences may be cached locally for performance and offline use.
  • No Server Storage: We do not store your personal data on our servers.
  • Secure Transport: All network requests (e.g., to retrieve content) use HTTPS.

5. Third-Party Services

  • Map Data: We use OpenStreetMap-based map data. No personal information is shared with map data providers.
  • Content Delivery: We use Supabase/CDN services to deliver app content (e.g., POIs). No personal or location data is transmitted to these services.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our app is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

7. International Users

This app is available worldwide. If you are using the app outside of the United Kingdom, please note that your data may be processed in accordance with UK data protection laws.

8. Your Rights and Choices

  • You can disable location permissions in device settings.
  • You can remove locally cached data by uninstalling the app.
  • Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, most data rights can be exercised by adjusting your device settings or uninstalling the app.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, may provide additional notice in the app or on our website.
