This privacy policy applies to the Durstfinder iOS app. For the burmcorp.com website, see our general privacy policy.
2. Overview
Durstfinder runs on your iPhone. There are no user accounts, no advertising, and no analytics SDKs operated by us in the app. Preferences and your coaster (check-in) collection are stored locally on the device.
3. Location
Optionally, the app uses device location (Core Location) to find bars and Spätis near you. Sharing location is voluntary. Without it you can pick a neighbourhood; distances are then measured from that area’s centre.
Coordinates are used to query Apple Maps (MapKit) and, when needed, public OpenStreetMap Overpass endpoints. We do not operate a Durstfinder backend that stores your location.
4. Maps and third parties
- Apple Maps / MapKit — place search, map display, walking routes, and optional open-in-Maps for navigation.
- OpenStreetMap / Overpass API — fallback POI data when Apple results are thin. Requests go to public Overpass servers (e.g. overpass-api.de) with an identifying User-Agent.
Those providers process data under their own privacy terms. We do not sell personal data or embed ad trackers.
5. Local storage
Language, tone, mode (bar/Späti), filters, last-call preferences, and check-in stamps are stored in on-device storage (UserDefaults). Delete the app or clear app data to remove them.
6. Motion
If available, shaking the device can trigger a new suggestion. Sensor values are not stored.
7. Notifications
“Remind before closing” is an in-app setting. This version does not send server-side push notifications.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you may have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, and objection. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit (https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de).
