Location

If you allow it, the app reads your location while you are using it, to centre the map and to measure distance to a place. It does not ask for background location. Location is sent to Supabase only as the map area you are viewing, so the app can load places in that area. It is not sold.

Account

If you create an account, Supabase stores your email and a password hash. You can use the app without an account. Sign-in is required to suggest a place, upload a photo, or buy Pro.

Vehicle profile

Height, width, length, weight, and the vehicle name are stored on this phone. They are used to hide places your vehicle does not fit. They are not sent to a server unless you type them into a suggestion.

Photos and suggestions

Photos you choose are uploaded to a private Supabase bucket and stay pending until a moderator approves them. Place suggestions you submit are stored as pending rows until a moderator publishes them.

Purchases

Pro is billed by Google Play. RevenueCat tells our server whether the subscription is active. The app does not receive your card number. The phone cannot set its own Pro flag.

Crash reports

If a Sentry address is configured for the build, crash reports (the error, device model, and app version) are sent to Sentry. If it is not configured, nothing is sent.

Map images

When you tap a photo, the app asks our server for a Google Street View or Places image. The Google key stays on the server. Those image bytes are kept in memory for the visit and are not saved on the phone or in our database.

Processors

• Supabase — account, place database, photo storage, and the image proxy.
• Google — Maps on the phone, and Street View / Places on the server.
• RevenueCat and Google Play — subscriptions.
• Sentry — crash reports, only when configured.
• OpenStreetMap — the place catalogue is derived from OpenStreetMap data.

Deletion

In the app, open Settings and tap Delete account. You can also use the public deletion page linked from the store listing. Deletion removes the login and the rows tied to that account.

Children

Van Park is not directed at children.
