MapRoutes is made by Throttle Mountain LLC. MapRoutes doesn't send us any of your information. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. What it does use goes to Apple, under Apple's Privacy Policy.
What MapRoutes uses
- Location. If you allow it, MapRoutes uses your location while the app is open to show where you are and plan routes. It stays on your device and with Apple Maps. We never receive it.
- Searches and directions go to Apple Maps.
- Your routes are saved on your device.
Sharing a route
When you share a route, the route itself (its name, stops and addresses) is packed into the link. We don't store it anywhere. Anyone you send the link to can see the route, and so can the app you send it with (for example, Messages). The share page at share.maproutesapp.com only opens the route in MapRoutes, and it never sees the route. Our host, Cloudflare, sees the visit like any website visit.
Download and crash stats
Apple gives us download numbers, plus usage and crash statistics from people who chose to share them with app developers. We only see totals and anonymous crash reports, never who you are.
If you email us
We get your email address and your message, and use them only to reply. Ask and we'll delete them.
Your choices
- Turn location on or off any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services.
- Deleting MapRoutes deletes your saved routes.
- We don't sell or share personal information, and there's nothing for Do Not Track to stop.
- Depending on where you live, you can ask what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it. For MapRoutes, that's at most your emails to us.
Changes and contact
If MapRoutes ever starts sending data to us, we'll update this page before that ships. Questions: contact@throttlemountain.com.
