Privacy Policy (CityScout AI)
Last updated: 2026-01-03
App name: CityScout AI **** (“we”, “us”)
This Privacy Policy explains how CityScout AI collects, uses, and shares information when you use the CityScout AI iOS app.
If you have questions, contact: [email protected]
1) What data we collect
A) Location data (optional)
- What: Your approximate location from iOS “Location Services” (when you allow it).
- When: Only while you use the app (When‑In‑Use).
- Why: To support “near me” searches, show nearby results, and compute walking routes.
You can use CityScout AI without sharing GPS by searching by place name (e.g., “close to EPFL”).
B) Analytics & diagnostics (Firebase)
CityScout AI uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to understand app usage and improve stability.
- Firebase Analytics may collect:
- App interactions and usage events (e.g., app open, search action, tapping a result)
- Device information such as device model, OS version, app version
- Approximate region (derived by Firebase from IP for analytics; we do not directly receive your IP)
- Crashlytics may collect:
- Crash logs, stack traces, and performance/diagnostic information
