Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Atlas lets you type a place name, resolves the place through MapKit, and saves a still image of that place's Look Around scene as today's atlas entry. The app never reads your device location, never opens the camera or microphone, and never asks for photos, contacts, or Health data. The place name you typed, the resolved coordinates the completer returns for that name, the still Look Around image, and any optional note all stay on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's map servers (so MapKit can resolve the place name and fetch the Look Around imagery) and to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Atlas is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No location permission. Pink Atlas never asks for or reads your device location. The app works entirely from place names you type, not from where you actually are.
• No microphone, no camera, no photos library access.
• No contacts, no calendar.
• No HealthKit, no Health data.

How place lookup works

When you type a place name, Pink Atlas hands the text to Apple's MKLocalSearchCompleter, which contacts Apple's map servers to return matching place suggestions. When you confirm a pick, Apple's MKLookAroundSnapshotter (iOS 16+) renders a single still image of that place's Look Around scene and hands it back to the app. The still is saved on your device as today's atlas entry.

These MapKit calls go to Apple's map servers and are governed by Apple's privacy policy for MapKit. Pink Atlas itself does not run any other network requests, does not log your queries, and does not relay anything you type to a server we operate.

What stays on your device

• Your atlas entries (the place name you typed, the coordinates the completer returned for that name, the still Look Around PNG, any optional note, and the created-at timestamp). Stored in on-device SwiftData with the still bytes held as external storage.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes everything Pink Atlas has stored.

No on-device language model

Pink Atlas does not use Apple's Foundation Models, Image Playground, or any other generative model. The visual content of every atlas entry is the real Look Around still rendered by MapKit; nothing about the image is synthesized or altered.

Lock Screen widget

Pink Atlas Pro includes a Lock Screen widget that shows today's atlas count. The widget reads only the count and the timestamp of the most recent entry from an App Group container on your device. No image data is rendered on the Lock Screen and nothing is sent off the device for the widget to function.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Atlas Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Atlas is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Atlas does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To remove all on-device state, delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync or sharing), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
