Privacy Policy
LoungeMap is operated by Pointiful (sole proprietorship, the Netherlands). This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and what your choices are. It applies to the iOS and Android apps and to lounges.pointiful.com.
What we collect
- Location (when in use): only while the app is open, only to centre the map on you and to estimate distance to nearby lounges. Never recorded or sent off-device.
- Boarding-pass barcode: when you tap "Scan boarding pass" we read the IATA BCBP barcode using your camera. The parsed flight (carrier, route, cabin, seat) is saved to your device's secure storage and never sent off-device.
- Favourites & preferences: the lounges you star, your frequent-flyer programmes, and the passes you carry are saved to your device's secure storage. They never leave the device unless you explicitly sign in (we currently don't offer accounts).
- Crash and performance telemetry: anonymous crash reports via Sentry (no personal data, no IP retention beyond 24h). You can opt out in Settings.
- No advertising IDs, no cross-app tracking, no third-party trackers.
What we don't collect
- No accounts, no email harvesting, no contact list access.
- No background-location, no microphone, no health/biometric data.
- No payments — LoungeMap is free.
Third parties
- Apple Maps / Google Maps render the map tiles. They see the viewport you're looking at, per their own policies (Apple, Google).
- Sentry receives anonymous crash dumps if a crash occurs.
- The lounge data shown is sourced from each alliance's published lounge directory and from public reviews; it is not personal data.
Children
LoungeMap is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your rights
Because we don't store personal data on a server, there's no profile to export or delete on our side. You can wipe everything by deleting the app, which clears all device-side storage.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we'll bump the "Last updated" date above and surface a notice in the app on next launch.
