Vigil: Destination Alerts
Vigil collects no personal data on our end. We have no servers, and we never receive any information about you or your device.
However, the pins and saved destinations you create are stored in two places:
The iCloud sync means your data is stored on Apple's servers as part of your personal iCloud account — but it is stored under your Apple ID, encrypted, and is only accessible by you. We have no ability to access, view, or retrieve it in any way. Apple's privacy policy governs how they handle your iCloud data.
If you prefer your data to stay only on your device, you can sign out of iCloud or disable iCloud for Vigil in your iPhone's Settings.
Vigil requires access to your location to function. Location data is used for the following purposes only:
Your location is processed entirely on-device. It is never transmitted to us or any third party. It is never logged, stored beyond the active session, or used for any purpose other than the two functions described above.
You can revoke location permissions at any time in your iPhone's Settings. Without location access, the app cannot show your position on the map or deliver alerts.
If you are signed in to iCloud, Vigil uses Apple's CloudKit framework to sync your saved pins across your devices. This sync happens directly between your devices through your personal iCloud account.
We have no access to your iCloud data. Apple's iCloud privacy policy governs how Apple handles this data. You can review it at apple.com/legal/privacy.
Vigil uses push notifications and Live Activities to alert you when you approach a destination. These are delivered locally on your device and do not involve any external servers or third-party notification services.
Vigil uses no third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, crash reporting services, or tracking tools. There are no third parties involved in the operation of this app beyond Apple's own frameworks.
Vigil does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we collect no data at all, the app is safe for use by all ages.
If this privacy policy changes in the future, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. We will not retroactively change how any previously collected data is handled — because we don't collect any.
