Privacy Policy · Effective Date: May 2025
Parking Finder ("we", "our", or "the App") is a parking spot recording and navigation application for iPhone. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use it.
Short version: Parking Finder does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. Everything stays on your device.
We do not collect, store, or transmit:
All data created by Parking Finder is stored exclusively on your iPhone using local storage. This includes:
This data is never uploaded to any server. It exists only on your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
The app requests the following permissions, which are used only on-device:
| Permission | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Location (While Using) | Record where you parked; display on map; compass navigation back to your car | Required for core function |
| Camera | Capture a photo of your parking spot for future reference | Optional |
| Photo Library (Read) | Select an existing photo from your library to attach to a parking record | Optional |
| Photo Library (Write) | Save a parking spot photo to your photo album | Optional |
Location access is requested only while the app is in use ("When In Use"). We never request "Always On" background location tracking.
Parking Finder uses Apple MapKit to render maps. MapKit may process tile requests through Apple's servers according to Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not integrate any other third-party SDK, analytics service, or advertising network.
Since no data is transmitted to external servers, there is no server-side data storage or risk of a remote data breach. Your parking records are protected by your device's built-in security (iOS encryption, Face ID / Touch ID lock).
You can delete individual parking records at any time within the app. Uninstalling the app removes all app data from your device permanently.
Parking Finder is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. Since the app collects no data whatsoever, it poses no risk to children's privacy.
If we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the effective date above. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We will not make changes that retroactively increase data collection without your explicit consent.
