Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 November 2026

TinyRoutes (“we”, “the app”) helps parents and families discover parks, playgrounds, and family-friendly restaurants in Greece. This policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and your rights.

1. Data controller

The data controller is the individual developer who publishes the app on Google Play and the Apple App Store. You can reach us at filodamos@gmail.com.

2. Data we collect

• Device location (optional): If you grant permission, the app uses your current location only on your device to calculate distances. Location is not sent to our servers.
• Local preferences: Theme, language, and distance unit are stored locally on your device using app storage.
• Network data: The app requests public place data (parks, playgrounds, restaurants) from api.tinyroutes.com. No user account is required and we do not send personal profiles.
• Ads (AdMob): On Android and iPhone, ads are shown through Google AdMob. Ads are requested with child-directed settings, so they are not personalized. On iPhone the app does not ask for permission to track you, so Google does not receive your device’s advertising identifier. Google may collect other device identifiers and ad interaction data under its own privacy policy.
• Maps: Maps in the app use Google Maps on Android and Apple Maps on iPhone. Directions to a place open in an external maps app (for example Google Maps on Android, Apple Maps on iPhone).

3. What we do not collect

• No registration or login is required.
• We do not use third-party analytics or crash reporting in the app code.
• We do not send your location to our servers.

4. Purpose of processing

• Provide place discovery and detail features
• Show distances when location is allowed
• Store display preferences on the device
• Display ads to support the free app

5. Sharing with third parties

• Google (AdMob, and Maps on Android): as described in Google’s policies.
• Apple (Maps on iPhone): as described in Apple’s policies.
• API hosting: api.tinyroutes.com serves public place data without user identification.

We do not sell personal data.

6. Retention and deletion

Local preferences remain until you clear app data or uninstall the app. Ad-related data is handled by Google according to its settings and policies.

7. Your rights

Depending on applicable law (including GDPR for users in the EU), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing. Contact us at filodamos@gmail.com.

8. Children

The app is intended primarily for parents and adult caregivers. We do not target children under 13 as the primary audience. Ads are configured with stricter settings appropriate for family-oriented content.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
