2. What data we process
| Data | Purpose | Stored where | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location (optional) | Calculate the position of the sun and the moon for your current place, centre the map and show the place name | Calculated on the device; never sent to us. For the place name the position is sent to Apple Maps (see below). The last chosen place is stored on the device only. | Last chosen place: until you remove the app |
| Compass heading | Show which way the iPhone is pointing | Read locally from the heading sensor — nothing is stored or transmitted | Only while you use the app |
| Saved places, notes and settings | Remember your places and settings | On the device only | Until you delete them or remove the app |
| Map imagery and place search (Apple Maps) | Show the map, search for places and look up the name of a tapped spot | Provided by Apple Maps: the search text or coordinates are sent to Apple and handled under Apple's privacy policy; when the map loads, Apple may process technical data. We receive none of it. | As per Apple |
What we explicitly do not collect
- No account, no name, no e-mail address
- No advertising, no advertising ID, no analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs
- No server of our own: location, places and settings never go to us; the only exception is place search and place names via Apple Maps
3. Permissions on your device
The app requests only the following permissions. Each of them can be revoked at any time in your device settings; the app remains usable afterwards, with reduced functionality.
- Location (while using the app) — Optional: calculate the sun and moon position for your current place, centre the map and show the place name via Apple Maps. The last chosen place stays on the device. Without permission you can search for a place or pick one on the map.
4. Legal bases
We process personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). Where the GDPR applies, we rely on:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — everything needed for the app to deliver the function you requested.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — secure and stable operation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for anything you actively enable in this app: location (optional; calculation on the device, place name via Apple Maps). Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future by revoking the permission in your system settings.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — in particular commercial and tax retention duties for payments.
5. Recipients and third parties
We do not sell data and do not disclose it for advertising purposes. Data is disclosed only to the following parties, and only where required for operation:
| Recipient | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Inc. / Apple Distribution International Ltd. | Cupertino (USA) / Cork (Ireland) | App Store distribution, processing of in-app purchases and subscriptions, and crash reports if you have enabled them with Apple. |
Authorities and courts receive data only where we are legally obliged to provide it.
Transfers abroad
Some of the recipients listed above process data outside Switzerland and the EEA, in particular in the United States. We base such transfers on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses with the Swiss adaptations recognised by the FDPIC and, where applicable, on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We will provide information on the safeguards in place on request.
6. Retention and deletion
We store nothing because we run no server for this app. Your saved places, notes, settings and last chosen place live on the device. Removing the app deletes them.
Step-by-step instructions are available at Delete data.
7. Children and young people
This app is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn that such data has been submitted without parental consent, we delete it without delay.
8. Data security
Wherever the app transmits data at all, connections are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. On the server side we use access restrictions, tenant separation and regular backups. Nobody can, however, guarantee absolute security for data transmission over the internet.
9. Your rights
- Access to the personal data we process
- Rectification of inaccurate data
- Erasure or destruction of your data
- Restriction of and objection to processing
- Receiving or porting your data in a common format
