No app backend
FindMyPark has no backend. The app makes no network requests to us, because there is no “us” to send anything to.
In development — not yet available on the App Store. Screenshots show development previews.
The current FindMyPark build has no account, FindMyPark backend, advertising or analytics SDK. Apple's map services, device backups and any support messages you choose to send are explained separately below.
FindMyPark has no backend. The app makes no network requests to us, because there is no “us” to send anything to.
You never create a profile, enter an email address, or sign in. The app has no concept of a user identity.
No analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no advertising identifier, no third-party libraries that phone home.
Parking details and photos are stored locally. Device backups may include parking details; reference photos are excluded from backups.
The app does not upload parking data to a FindMyPark server.There is no FindMyPark backend, login, advertising or analytics SDK in the current build. This is not a claim that the device makes no network requests: Apple's map services may communicate with Apple, and device backups are controlled by your device settings.
So the app can do its job, the following is saved locally on your iPhone when you save a parking spot:
Parking details are written to the app's own preferences storage. Photos are written as image files inside the app's private Documents folder and are explicitly excluded from device backups. Parking details in preferences may be included in backups. Backup retention and restoration are managed separately through your device and backup provider.
FindMyPark keeps one active parking session, not a browsable parking history. Choosing I Found My Car and confirming removes that session and its reference photos. If local removal fails, the app reports the problem and keeps the session available to retry; a partial file-removal failure may require attention to individual photos. Deleting the app removes its local app data; offloading the app is different. These actions do not erase existing backup copies.
Why: To record the coordinate where you parked, show your current location on the parking map, and calculate how far away your car is when you return.
FindMyPark requests When In Use access for saving a map pin, showing your location on the parking map, and updating distance while you use the app. It does not request Always access or configure background location mode.
Why: Only if you choose to take a reference photo of a level sign, pillar or landmark.
The camera opens only after you tap the camera button. Photos are saved into the app's own Documents folder, never uploaded.
Why: Only if you choose to attach an existing photo instead of taking a new one.
The system photo picker is used, so the app receives only the specific images you select. It has no access to the rest of your library.
Why: Only if you turn on a parking reminder.
Notifications are scheduled locally on your device by iOS. There is no push server and no remote notification token.
Camera, location and notification access are optional. If you decline camera access, you can still choose existing images with the system photo picker; it does not request broad photo-library permission. Declining location means the app cannot record a coordinate, but you can still save the level, section, spot number, notes and photos.
FindMyPark includes no third-party SDKs. It uses only Apple's own frameworks, including SwiftUI, Core Location, MapKit, PhotosUI and UserNotifications. MapKit may contact Apple's services to load map content; these services are subject to Apple's privacy practices.
When you tap Find My Car, the app hands your saved coordinate to Apple Maps so it can draw a walking route. From that point Apple Maps is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not ours. FindMyPark sends nothing else in that handoff.
FindMyPark is not directed at children. The current app does not upload parking data to us. Do not post children's personal information or locations in support messages.
We do not have a server-side copy of your parking session to export, correct or delete. For local data and permissions:
If a future version of FindMyPark ever changes how data is handled, this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date at the top will change. Any future analytics, accounts or purchases will require reassessing this policy and the app's privacy disclosures.
