What Data We Collect
Detour requests access to your location only while you are using the app. This is the only data Detour collects from your device.
Location access is entirely optional. You can deny the permission and still browse the full catalog of places. However, features like "nearby" sorting and turn by turn directions require location access to work.
How We Use Your Data
Your location is used for two purposes:
- Showing interesting, unusual places near your current position.
- Providing directions from your location to a selected destination.
Your location data stays on your device. It is not sent to any server operated by Detour or by any third party.
Data We Do Not Collect
Detour does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
- Personal information (name, email, phone number)
- Account credentials or passwords
- Usage analytics or behavioral data
- Advertising identifiers
- Photos, contacts, or other on device data
- Cookies or web tracking of any kind
There are no user accounts in Detour. You do not need to sign up, log in, or provide any personal information to use the app.
Third Party Services
Detour uses Apple MapKit to display maps and provide search functionality. When you view the map or search for a location, Apple may process data according to its own privacy policy.
You can review Apple's privacy policy at apple.com/privacy.
All point of interest data (the unusual places you discover in Detour) is bundled directly inside the app. No server calls are made to load this content.
Children's Privacy
Detour is suitable for users of all ages. Because the app does not collect personal information from any user, it does not collect personal information from children either. There are no accounts, no chat features, and no user generated content.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy, the revised version will be posted at this same URL with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or about how Detour handles your data, please reach out.
