Privacy
El Nido Map has no accounts and no advertising. This page says what the app and the website do with data, and what they hand to somebody else.

The app
The app does not ask you to sign in, and there is nothing to sign in to. It holds no name, address, email or phone number, because it never asks for one. There is no advertising in it, and nothing profiles you or personalises what you see.
Your location
If you ask the app to show where you are, it requests the location permission and reads your position once. That position is used on the device: it centres the map and works out how far a place is from you. It is not sent to us and it is not stored. Refuse the permission and every screen still works — the map opens on the town instead of on you.
Crash reports
When the app closes unexpectedly it sends a crash report to Firebase Crashlytics: what the code was doing at the moment it failed, the device model, and the version of the operating system. The report carries no name and no account, because there is neither. It exists so that a bug which only happens on one kind of phone can be found and fixed rather than guessed at.
What the app downloads
Listings, photographs and prices come from Google Firebase. The map comes from Mapbox. Loading either means your device makes a request to that company, and a request carries your IP address and basic technical details, the same way opening any website does. We do not receive that information, and their own terms govern what they do with it. Mapbox also collects map-usage telemetry under its terms. Once loaded, the catalogue stays on the device so it can be read without signal.
The website
elnidomap.com counts visits with Umami. It sets no cookies and builds no profile: it records the page, where the visit came from and a rough country, and nothing that identifies a person. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Asking us
Write to intbh@laposte.net with any question about this, including a request to see what we hold about you — which, for the app, is nothing.
