Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Overview

Rove ("we", "our", or "the app") is a safety and emergency services finder. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

Information We Collect

Location data — When you tap "Use my current location," the app requests your device's GPS coordinates. This is used solely to find nearby emergency services (hospitals, police, fire stations, urgent care, and embassies). Your coordinates are:

• Never stored on our servers
• Never sold or shared with third parties
• Used only for the immediate search request
• Discarded after the search completes

Manually entered locations — If you type a location instead of using GPS, that text is sent to Nominatim (OpenStreetMap's geocoding service) to resolve coordinates. We do not log or store your search queries.

Third-Party Services

Rove uses the following third-party services to provide its core functionality:

• OpenStreetMap / Overpass API — Provides map data and emergency service locations. See openstreetmap.org/copyright.
• Nominatim — Geocoding service for converting location names to coordinates. See Nominatim usage policy.
• Mapbox — Provides turn-by-turn routing directions. Your origin and destination coordinates are sent to Mapbox via our secure proxy. See mapbox.com/legal/privacy.
• Cloudflare — Our routing proxy runs on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare may log request metadata per their standard infrastructure policies. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not require account creation or login
• We do not collect your name, email, or any personal identifiers
• We do not use advertising or tracking SDKs
• We do not run analytics on your usage behavior
• We do not access your contacts, camera, microphone, or photos

Offline Saved Data

If you choose to save a location for offline use, that data is stored locally on your device using the app's private storage. It is never transmitted to our servers. You can delete saved locations at any time from within the app.

Children's Privacy

Rove is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
