Privacy Policy — TapGo

Last updated: March 2026

TapGo is designed to be simple and private. This policy explains what data the app handles and how.

Data we collect

We do not collect any personal data.

TapGo does not transmit any information to external servers, does not include analytics, and does not require an account.

Data stored on your device

TapGo stores the following data locally on your device only:

• Saved places — the names and addresses (including coordinates) of destinations you save. This data is stored using Apple’s SwiftData framework and never leaves your device.
• Incoming destination — when a family member or friend sends you a transit destination via iMessage, the destination label, address, and coordinates are stored temporarily in your device’s local storage and automatically deleted after 24 hours or when you use it, whichever comes first.

Place search

When you search for a place, TapGo uses Apple’s MapKit framework (MKLocalSearchCompleter / MKLocalSearch) to retrieve suggestions. These requests are handled by Apple and subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Apple Maps

When you tap a saved place, TapGo opens Apple Maps with the destination pre-filled. Any data Apple Maps handles is subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy.

iMessage sharing

The “Send a Destination” feature uses iOS’s built-in share sheet to compose an iMessage. TapGo encodes the destination name, address, and coordinates directly in a tapgo:// URL. No server or third-party service is involved. The message is sent through Apple’s iMessage service, which is subject to Apple’s own terms and privacy policy.

Children’s privacy

TapGo does not knowingly collect information from children. The app collects no personal data from any user.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised date.
