Location data
Placify provides map-based features that rely on location information. If you choose to enable location access, we may process your location using GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and device sensors to display your position and related map content. Current location data is processed in real time and is not stored or linked to your identity by Placify.
Map display and geographic data are provided by third-party map services. Placify does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of map data.
Photo and Memories Data
If you grant photo library access, Placify may read photo metadata such as creation time or geographic coordinates to organize Memories and place-based content. This processing occurs on your device. Placify does not upload or store your original photos or videos on our servers.
Imported Links and Reference Content
Placify allows you to import external links to create place references or collections. When you use these features, Placify may temporarily access publicly available webpage information such as titles, descriptions, or media previews to extract place-related metadata.
