Privacy should be easy to understand.

Last updated July 16, 2026

The short version

MapPal is designed to help you save and organize places. Your personal pins, folders, notes, and photos are stored for the app’s core features and are not sold to advertisers.

Information MapPal uses

When you choose to use location features, MapPal may use your device location to place a pin, extract location from a photo, show your position on the map, or deliver a nearby alert. You control location and notification access in iOS Settings.

When you share a supported social-media link to MapPal, the link and publicly available post details may be processed to identify the place shown in the post. MapPal may also use Apple mapping services to look up place names, addresses, and business details.

Your content

Your saved places can include names, coordinates, folders, notes, photos, custom fields, and alert preferences. Content remains yours. If you choose to publish a collection to Discover, the app explains what will be shared before publishing.

Data choices

You can edit or delete saved content in MapPal and change app permissions at any time in iOS Settings. Deleting the app may remove locally stored app data unless it has been synced or backed up through an Apple service you enabled.

This pre-launch policy will be updated before App Store release to reflect the final production services and data practices.
