Vista Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 8, 2026
Last updated: November 8, 2026
This policy explains how the Vista app for iPhone ("Vista") handles your information. Vista builds your map on your device. Vista does not send us your photos, your map or your notes. Vista uses Apple Maps to identify places and sends us app usage information to help improve Vista. "We," "us" and "our" refer to the developer of Vista, as named as the seller on Vista's App Store page.
1. Information stored on your device
Vista stores the following on your device:
- the map, trips and places it creates from your photos;
- information you add, such as names, notes, hotels and meals;
- your settings.
Vista does not send this information to us. It may be included in your device backups, depending on your iOS settings.
Photos. With your permission, Vista analyzes the photos in your library, including their dates and locations, on your device. Vista detects faces to select and frame photos. It does not recognize or identify people, and we do not receive any face information. Vista does not send us your photos. Photos stored in iCloud Photos may be downloaded to your device to display, analyze or share them.
Location. With your permission, Vista uses your device location to set your home location and, while Vista is open, to tell when you are back home after a trip. It does not track your location over time.
2. Information Vista sends
Apple Maps. To identify places, restaurants and hotels, Vista sends Apple locations from your photos, your home location and the text you enter in Vista's searches. We do not receive this information. Apple's privacy policy governs Apple's use of it.
Usage information. Vista sends our analytics provider information about how the app is used, such as features opened, steps completed and purchases started or completed, along with the app version and a random identifier for this installation. It does not include your photos, place names, notes or names you enter. It is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising or tracking. We use it to understand and improve Vista.
Purchases. Apple processes all purchases. We do not receive your payment information.
Crash reports. If you have chosen in iOS to share analytics with app developers, Apple may provide us with crash reports and related diagnostics, which we use to fix problems.
Email. If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and message and use them to respond.
Content you share. Content you share or export from Vista goes to the recipient or app you choose, and their terms apply. Vista removes location metadata from photo files it shares. Shared or exported content may still include places, map locations, dates and names you have added.
3. Disclosure
We may disclose information:
- to service providers that process it on our behalf and are required to protect it;
- when required by law or legal process;
- to protect the rights, property or safety of Vista, our users or others;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of all or part of our business.
We do not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or disclose it to others for their direct marketing.
4. Retention
Information on your device remains until you delete it or delete Vista. Copies in your backups remain until those backups are replaced. We keep usage information and email only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.
5. Your choices
- Usage information. Turn off Share anonymous usage data in Vista's Settings under Privacy and data. Vista then stops sending usage information and deletes its identifier.
- Deleting your data. Delete everything in Vista's Settings under Privacy and data removes the information Vista stores on your device, as does deleting Vista. Neither cancels a subscription.
- Exporting your map. Export in Vista's Settings creates a copy of your map.
- Permissions. You can change Vista's access to your photos, location and notifications in iOS Settings.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal information we hold about you, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To make a request, email support@everyvista.com. We may need to verify your request. Because usage information is not linked to your identity, we may be unable to locate the information associated with your device.
7. Children
Vista is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
8. Tracking and Do Not Track
Vista does not track you across other companies' apps or websites and does not allow other companies to do so through Vista. Vista therefore operates the same whether or not your device sends a Do Not Track signal.
9. Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we receive. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee security. You are responsible for securing access to your device.
10. International users
We are based in the United States. Information we receive is processed in the United States and in other countries where our service providers operate.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will post the updated policy and revise the "Last updated" date, and we will notify you in the app of material changes.
