Toilet Map (the "App", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This App Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information when you use our Android application.

By using Toilet Map, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Location Information

The App requests access to your device's location (GPS and network-based) to show nearby toilet facilities.

Your location is used only to make a request to our API server to fetch relevant nearby toilet data. We do not store or log your precise location on our servers, and the data is not shared with any third party except the service providers described below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To provide location-based toilet information
To improve and maintain app functionality
To ensure server performance and security
To diagnose technical issues

We do not sell or rent your personal data.

3. How We Share Your Information

We share device location with trusted third parties only as necessary to support app functionality:

Our API hosting providers at https://www.toiletmap.org.uk to deliver nearby toilet data
https://www.openstreetmap.org to display the location of those toilets on a map

Your precise location is never shared with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

4. Permissions Used

The App requests the following Android permissions:

Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION / ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Required to determine your position and retrieve nearby toilet information.

No other personal data permissions are requested.

5. Data Retention

We do not store any personal information generated by the use of the App.

We do not store your precise location on our servers.

6. Children's Privacy

Toilet Map is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

7. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including secure communication with our API and controlled access to backend systems. However, no method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Your Choices

You may disable location access at any time through your device settings. (Note: the App will not function properly without location access.)

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available within the App or on our website. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
