Loci is a personal map app for saving places that matter to you. We built it with one principle in mind: your data belongs to you. Loci has no accounts, shows no ads, and never sells your data.
Everything you create in Loci — maps, places, names, descriptions, notes, and photos — is stored locally on your device. We have no access to it, and it is never sent to us.
To keep the app working and improve it, Loci uses a few services from Google and, for subscriptions, RevenueCat. Here is exactly what they receive.
Usage analytics (Google Firebase Analytics). We record how the app is used: for example, that a map was created or a place was added, how many places a map has, whether a photo was attached, which map type or theme is selected, and which steps of the first-run tutorial were completed. Analytics never include the names, descriptions, coordinates, or photos of your places. Firebase also receives an app-instance identifier and, like any internet service, your IP address, from which Google derives an approximate location (country or city). Loci does not collect your advertising ID.
Crash reports (Google Firebase Crashlytics). If the app crashes, we receive a technical report: the error details, device model, Android version, app state, and an installation identifier. Reports do not contain your name, email, or the content of your maps.
Remote configuration (Google Firebase Remote Config). Loci asks Firebase Remote Config for a few settings, such as how many places a free map holds and whether to show the update prompt. The request carries your Firebase installation identifier and nothing about your maps, places, or activity.
Maps and search (Google Maps Platform).
Subscription (Google Play and RevenueCat). Loci Pro is sold through Google Play. Payment is handled by Google — Loci never sees your card or billing details. Your purchase and subscription status are managed for us by RevenueCat, our service provider, which receives an anonymous identifier created on your device, the details of the purchase (which product, when, from which store), and basic device information. Nothing about your maps or places is sent. You can see that identifier in Settings as "Support ID".
Only to make the app work (maps, search, previews, subscription status, app settings), to understand which features are used, and to find and fix crashes. We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell or share it with anyone other than the service providers listed above, which process it on our behalf.
All data sent from the app is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
Analytics and crash data are stored by Google Firebase according to its retention settings. Subscription records are kept by Google Play and RevenueCat for as long as needed to provide the subscription and meet billing and legal requirements. Because Loci has no accounts, this data is not linked to your name or email. Your local data is deleted when you delete a map or uninstall the app.
Android may automatically back up app data, including your maps and photos, to your own Google account. This backup is controlled by you in your device settings; we have no access to it.
You can export your maps as a Loci backup (ZIP) or as GPX and KML files and share them with anyone you choose. This is entirely under your control — we are not involved in this process.
Loci is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. See also our Terms of Use.
