Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 14, 2026.
1. Who we are
Villages Cart Path ("we", "us") is a mobile app that helps residents of The Villages, Florida navigate by golf cart. We are not affiliated with Holding Company of The Villages, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries — see the disclaimer at the end of this document.
- Operated by High Altitude Code, LLC.
- Contact: [email protected].
2. What data we collect
The Villages Cart Path app is designed to work offline and to collect as little personal data as possible.
2.1 Data we collect on your device only
The app stores a small amount of data locally on your device so it can function. None of this leaves your device. We never receive or have access to it.
The current build of the app is in active development. As we ship new features (search, navigation, "Set Home", recents, settings, location-aware routing) the kinds of data stored locally will grow. This policy will be updated to describe each kind of data as it lands.
2.2 Data the current build does not collect
The current build of Villages Cart Path:
- Has no user accounts.
- Does not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally-identifying information unless you contact us directly.
- Does not include analytics SDKs.
- Does not show ads.
We do not sell user data to third parties for marketing.
2.3 Bundle update checks
When you connect to Wi-Fi, the app checks our content delivery network for updated map data. Like every CDN, the provider may produce standard request logs for operational purposes (debugging, abuse prevention). These logs are not associated with any account and are not used to identify or profile you.
2.4 Analytics + install attribution we may add
Villages Cart Path is a small project. To know which features matter to people and where installs come from when we run paid acquisition, we may add the following in a future build:
- Install attribution APIs provided by the operating system — Apple's SKAdNetwork on iOS, Google Play's Install Referrer API on Android, plus Apple Search Ads attribution. These tell us anonymously which advertising campaign drove an install; they do not provide your name, account, or device identifier.
- Privacy-respecting analytics to count screen views and feature usage. If we add this, we will pick a provider that does not set cookies, does not fingerprint devices, and does not associate events with any identifier we could trace back to a person. Candidates we'd consider include Apple's App Analytics (already enabled for every App Store app by default, aggregated and anonymized), Cloudflare Web Analytics for the website surface, and self-hosted Plausible.
When we add either of these, we will:
- Update this policy to describe exactly what is collected and where it goes.
- Update the corresponding App Store / Google Play "App Privacy" disclosure.
- Announce the change in the in-app changelog.
3. How we use the data
The on-device data is used solely to provide the app's functionality. We do not have a server that receives your usage, location, or behavior.
4. Data retention
- On-device data persists until you delete the app or clear it yourself.
- CDN provider request logs are retained briefly per the provider's defaults and used only for operational purposes.
5. Your rights
You can:
- Delete all on-device data by uninstalling the app.
- Email [email protected] to ask about any data we hold.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA. If you are in the EU, GDPR applies. Contact us to exercise those rights.
6. Children
Villages Cart Path is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
7. Changes
We will update this policy as the app's features evolve. Material changes will be announced in the app and via the changelog visible in App Store / Play.
8. Trademark notice
