Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what Farview collects, how it is used, where it is stored and what you can do.
1. Information that stays on your device
- Photos and where they were taken: used to build your footprints and travel passport. Read and processed on your device only, never uploaded.
- Your location: used to show distances and mark where you are on the globe. Never uploaded.
2. Information collected when you sign in
- Account: your email address (from email sign-in or added in your profile) and the identifier provided by Apple. If you sign in with Apple and hide your email, we receive Apple's relay address.
- Profile: your nickname, avatar (a built-in style or a photo you upload), birthday, app language and when you last used Farview. They are restored automatically when you sign in to the same account on a new device.
- Consent records: which version of each policy you agreed to, and when.
This is stored with our account service (Supabase) and used to sign you in, credit you on submissions, contact you and record your consent.
3. Information uploaded when you submit
When you submit a photo, we upload the photo, the place, introduction and thoughts you wrote, where and when it was taken, and your nickname and avatar to Apple's iCloud (CloudKit) public database. Approved submissions are shown publicly to other users. Likes, follows and reports are also stored in iCloud.
4. What we don't do
- We don't sell your personal information.
- We don't use it for advertising or track you across apps.
- We don't share it with third parties except where the law requires.
5. Third-party services
- Apple: Sign in with Apple, iCloud storage for submissions, App Store purchases.
- Supabase: accounts, email codes, profile and avatar photo storage.
- Maps and place lookups use Apple Maps.
6. Retention and deletion
- Your account information is kept until you delete your account. Delete it any time from Profile → Delete Account.
- To remove a submission, email us and we will handle it promptly.
