Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

Lo-Fi Local is a discovery app that helps people find local shops, makers, food trucks, and community events nearby.

We respect your privacy. This policy explains what information we use and how.

Information We Collect

1. Location (approximate)

Lo-Fi Local may request access to your device’s location. We use this only to:

  • Sort towns and locations by proximity

  • Show how far you are from nearby towns or areas

    We do not use location for advertising or tracking across other apps.

    To the best of our knowledge:

  • Location is used in real time to power app features

  • We do not intentionally store your precise location or build a movement history

You can turn off location permissions in your device settings at any time. The app will still work; results just may be less relevant.

2. Business & content data

The app displays:

  • Public shop information (name, address, website, etc.)

  • Images and text provided directly by business owners

This is business-facing content, not personal user data.

3. Technical / diagnostic data

Our hosting and analytics tools may collect basic technical information such as:

  • Device type, browser, and operating system

  • Anonymous usage statistics and error logs

This is used only to keep the app running smoothly and improve performance. We do not use it to personally identify you.

How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

  • Show you nearby towns and locations

  • Help people discover local shops and events

  • Maintain and improve the app’s performance and reliability

We do not sell your data or use it for targeted advertising.

Third-Party Services

Lo-Fi Local may rely on third-party services (such as hosting providers, map or analytics tools) to operate. These services may process limited technical data as part of providing their service, under their own privacy policies.

We do not authorize third parties to use your data for their own marketing.

Children’s Privacy

Lo-Fi Local is suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will work to remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
