Spott Privacy Policy

Effective: October 23, 2026

This policy covers the Spott mobile app for iPhone and Android ("Spott"). Spott is operated by Spott LLC.

Information we collect

• Identifiers, such as an app identifier created when you install Spott, and your IP address.
• Device information, such as device type, operating system and app version.
• Location, if you allow it.
• Activity in Spott, such as places you view, open or save, and your choices and answers.
• What you send us, such as questions you ask and spot reports.
• Needs you share, such as dietary or accessibility needs, if you agree.

We collect this information from you, from your device, and automatically when you use Spott.

Saved places are stored on your device. In app version 1.0.5 and later, they are also stored on our servers with your app identifier so they sync.

How we use information

We use information to provide and improve Spott, give recommendations and answers, keep Spott secure, analyze how Spott is used, and comply with the law.

Spott uses your location to find spots near you.

We save needs you share, like dietary or accessibility needs, only if you agree. We use them to improve your recommendations. See our Health Data Privacy policy at spottguide.com/health-data-privacy.

Artificial intelligence

When you use Ask, what you type is shared with our trusted AI partners to answer you.

Who we share information with

We share information with service providers that help us run Spott, including hosting, database, maps, email and AI providers. These providers are required to protect your information with the same or equal protection as this policy.

We provide reporting to partners listed on Spott. Partners get only de-identified totals, never information about you as a person. We will not try to re-identify this data, and our contracts require partners not to either.

We also share information when required by law or to protect rights and safety.

Other parties, such as our service providers, may collect personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different websites and services when you use Spott.

Do Not Track

Spott does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encryption in transit, to protect your information.

Retention

We keep information as long as needed to run Spott, unless you ask us to delete it. For app activity collected before October 20, 2026, we remove IP address and user agent after 12 months.

Your choices and deletion

To withdraw consent, turn off location in your phone's settings or email support@spottguide.com.

To ask what we hold about you or to request deletion, including your saved places, email support@spottguide.com.
