PinKeep™ Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in the PinKeep™ mobile application (the "App"), published by Promote Platform Group LLC ("we", "our", or "us").

This policy covers PinKeep™ only. Other applications published by Promote Platform Group LLC have their own separate policies, because they work differently.

1. What PinKeep™ Is

PinKeep™ is a personal place organizer. It lets you save places you want to remember, organize them with categories, tags and notes, filter them later, and open them in your maps app when you want to go.

2. Information Stored on Your Device

The information you put into PinKeep™ is stored in a database file on your own device. Depending on what you enter or share in, this may include:

• A place’s name
• Address details such as street, city, state, postal code and country
• Map coordinates for the place, when the link or entry provides them
• The category you file the place under, including categories you create
• Tags you apply
• Your own notes about the place
• Markers such as "favorite" and "want to go"
• Any custom fields you define and fill in
• The original text or link a place came from, when you shared one in
• App settings and preferences

This information stays on your device. It is not transmitted to us, and it is not synchronized to any cloud service by PinKeep™.

Device backup. If automatic backup is enabled, PinKeep™ keeps a copy of your library ready for your device’s own backup. On Android, that is your device’s Google backup, handled by Android and your Google account under Google’s terms. On iPhone and iPad, the copy is kept in the app’s storage, which your iCloud or computer backup includes, handled by Apple under Apple’s terms. Either way it is not handled by PinKeep™ servers. Your device decides when a backup occurs, and PinKeep™ is not told whether it succeeds.

Please note that the coordinates PinKeep™ stores describe the place you saved. They come from the link or the details you provided. PinKeep™ does not request access to your device’s location, and does not track where you are or where you have been.

3. No PinKeep™ Account

PinKeep™ does not require you to create an account, sign up, or log in. We do not ask for your name, email address, or phone number in order to use the App. We do not create a user profile for you on our systems, because there is no PinKeep™ service holding one.

4. When PinKeep™ Uses the Network

PinKeep™ sends none of your saved places, notes, collections or tags to us. It uses the network for the following purposes only.

Shortened map links

Map applications often share a place as a shortened link rather than a readable address. When you share such a link into PinKeep™, the App requests that link so it can follow the redirect and read the full destination address, which is what actually contains the place name and location.

Two things are worth being specific about:

• That request goes to the service that issued the link — for a Google Maps short link, that is Google. It does not go to us, and we receive no copy of it.
• PinKeep™ reads only the redirect information it needs in order to identify the destination. It stops as soon as the destination is readable, and does not download the page contents.

As with any internet request, the service receiving it may record standard technical information such as your IP address and the request details, according to that service’s own privacy policy. If you never share a link into PinKeep™, this request never happens.

If the network is unavailable, the import is not lost: PinKeep™ falls back to whatever information the shared text already contained.

Looking up an address or coordinates

When a place has coordinates but no address, or an address but no coordinates, PinKeep™ asks your device’s built-in geocoding service to fill in the other. On iPhone and iPad that service is provided by Apple; on most Android devices, by Google. The request carries only the coordinates or the address being looked up, nothing else from your library, and it is handled by Apple or Google under their own privacy terms. It does not go to us. This does not read where your device is.

Free-trial eligibility

PinKeep™ can check, typically when the App starts, whether this device can start PinKeep™ Pro’s free trial where the trial is offered. Each device can claim the trial once, and Apple and Google keep that record, not us. To check, the App sends a small PinKeep™ service the platform name and a one-time device attestation token created by Apple’s DeviceCheck (iPhone and iPad) or Google Play Integrity (Android); on Android it also sends a value that ties the token to that request. The service passes the token to Apple or Google to read or set the device’s trial flag, and returns the result. The token does not contain your name, email address, Apple Account or Google Account, and the service keeps no database, account or record of you.

The service runs on Google Cloud, which keeps standard request logs for it, including the IP address the request came from, the HTTP client details it sent, and the time of the request, for 30 days, for operating and securing the service. We do not use these logs to identify, profile or track anyone.

5. Opening Places in Other Apps

PinKeep™ can hand a saved place off to other apps on your device at your request:

• Opening in a maps app. PinKeep™ can open a place in your maps application or browser. Once you leave PinKeep™, that app’s own terms and privacy policy apply to what happens there.
• Add to Calendar. PinKeep™ can open your device’s own calendar event screen, pre-filled with details of a visit, so that you can save it. Your calendar app is what stores the event. PinKeep™ never reads your calendar and holds no calendar account.
• How-to Videos. Where the App offers a How-to Videos link, it opens PinKeep™’s tutorials on YouTube in your browser or the YouTube app. YouTube’s own terms and privacy policy apply there.
• Sharing. When you choose to share a place or an exported file, your device’s standard share sheet appears and you choose the destination. Where that information goes is your choice, and what happens to it afterward is governed by the app or service you send it to.

6. Exports and Imports

PinKeep™ can export your library to a .pinkeep file. That file is created on your device and contains the place information described in Section 2, including your private notes. It is yours: we do not receive a copy, and exporting does not upload anything to us.

Because an export contains your notes and saved places, treat it like any other personal file, and consider where you are storing or sending it before you share it.

Importing reads a .pinkeep file or a PinKeep™ JSON file you choose, or PinKeep™ JSON you paste in, and writes its contents into your local database. Reading and previewing it happens entirely on your device. PinKeep™ reads your clipboard only when you choose to paste.

PinKeep™ can copy a ready-made prompt to your clipboard for you to use with an AI service or a travel planner of your choice. PinKeep™ does not send anything to that service. What you share with it is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.

7. Purchases and Billing

PinKeep™ offers PinKeep™ Pro, an optional purchase available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. On Android, these are processed by Google Play; on iPhone and iPad, by the Apple App Store.

• We do not process your payment. Your payment method and billing details are handled by the app store, under that store’s own privacy policy. We never see or receive your card or bank details.
• To determine whether PinKeep™ Pro is active for you, the App asks the app store what your store account is entitled to. The App keeps a local record on your device that the store confirmed that entitlement, so that PinKeep™ Pro keeps working when you are offline.
• Your entitlement follows the store account used to buy it, whether that is a subscription or the lifetime purchase. Restoring a purchase re-asks the store the same question.

8. Platform and Third-Party Services

We do not sell your information, and we do not share your saved places with anyone, because we do not have them. However, PinKeep™ is an app running on a platform, and normal platform services are involved in ordinary use. To be accurate rather than absolute, the parties that may receive information in the course of using PinKeep™ are:

• The operator of a link you share in (for example, Google, for a Google Maps link), as described in Section 4.
• Apple or Google platform services: the built-in geocoding service that looks up an address or coordinates, and DeviceCheck or Play Integrity for the free-trial check, as described in Section 4.
• Google Cloud, which hosts PinKeep™’s trial service and keeps its standard request logs for 30 days, as described in Section 4.
• Your app store (Google Play or the Apple App Store), for distributing the App, delivering updates, and processing a PinKeep™ Pro purchase or subscription.
• Your device’s operating system and the apps you choose, when you open a place in maps, add an event to your calendar, or share a place or file.

Each of those parties handles information under its own privacy policy, not ours.

9. What PinKeep™ Does Not Do

To state this plainly, the App does not:

• Require or offer a PinKeep™ account
• Upload your saved places to us or synchronize them to a cloud service
• Include analytics, advertising, or tracking software
• Build an advertising profile about you, or sell your information
• Request access to your device’s location
• Read your contacts or your calendar

10. Removing Your Data

Because your information lives on your device, you control removing it:

• Delete an individual saved place from within the App.
• Clear the App’s stored data using your device’s application storage settings, where your platform offers that option.
• Uninstall PinKeep™. Removing the App removes the local database it created, along with the places saved in it. Any files you exported earlier are separate, and remain wherever you saved them until you delete those too.

There is no separate request to make to us, because we hold no copy of your place library to delete. Records of a purchase are held by your app store, not by us, and are subject to that store’s policies.

Deleting your data is permanent. If you want to keep it, export it first.

11. Data Security

Your PinKeep™ data is protected primarily by your device: its lock screen, its user accounts, and the operating system’s separation of app storage. Keeping your device updated and locked is the most effective protection for what you have saved in PinKeep™.

Optional App Lock. App Lock is off unless you turn it on. You can choose to require your device’s authentication, such as fingerprint, Face ID, PIN, pattern, or password, before opening PinKeep™ or returning to it. Authentication is performed by your device’s operating system. PinKeep™ does not receive or store your fingerprint, face data, or device passcode; the App only receives the result of that authentication. Your App Lock preference is stored locally on your device. App Lock protects access through the PinKeep™ app and does not encrypt the PinKeep™ database or exported .pinkeep files.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Exported files are not encrypted by PinKeep™, so store and share them accordingly.

12. Children’s Privacy

PinKeep™ is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. PinKeep™ requires no account and collects no personal information on our servers. If you believe a child has provided information to us in some way, please contact us using the details below.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as PinKeep™ changes. When we do, we will post the updated policy at this address and revise the Effective Date at the top. If a change is significant, we will make reasonable efforts to make it noticeable. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
