Welcome to PurrPilot ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application ("App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

2. Information We Access

Location Data

PurrPilot accesses your device's location services to:

• Determine your current location for route planning
• Find nearby cat-friendly stops, veterinary clinics, pet stores, and fuel stations
• Calculate distances and travel times

Your location is processed locally on your device and through Apple's MapKit services. We do not store your location history on our servers.

Search Queries

When you search for destinations, these queries are processed through Apple's MapKit services to provide search results. We do not store your search history.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

PurrPilot does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• Account credentials or passwords
• Location history or travel patterns
• Device identifiers for tracking purposes
• Analytics or usage data to external servers
• Any information about your cats or pets

4. Third-Party Services

PurrPilot uses the following Apple services:

• Apple MapKit: For maps, route calculation, and place searches. Apple's privacy policy governs their handling of this data.
• Apple Maps: When you choose to navigate, directions open in Apple Maps, which is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

We do not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

5. Data Storage

PurrPilot stores minimal data locally on your device:

• App preferences and settings
• Recent searches (stored locally for your convenience)

This data never leaves your device and can be deleted by uninstalling the app.

6. Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your data on external servers, there is no risk of your information being compromised through a data breach on our systems. All processing happens locally on your device or through Apple's secure services.

You have full control over your data:

• Location Access: You can enable or disable location services for PurrPilot at any time through your device's Settings.
• Data Deletion: Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
