Privacy
Last updated 8 October 2026
Ghuri has no accounts, no sign-up, no adverts and no analytics. Nothing you do in the app is recorded, and there is no server of ours for it to be recorded on.
What the app does with your location
If you turn on Find my location or Follow me, the app reads your position from the device, only while the app is open. It is used to show your dot on the map, to measure how far away a place is, and to work out a route when you ask for one.
Your position is never stored and never sent to us. The app has no server and no database.
The app does not use location in the background. Close it and it stops reading your position.
What is sent to other services, and when
The app has no data of its own, so it asks public mapping and weather services for what it shows you. These requests contain map coordinates. They do not contain your name, your device identity, or any account, because the app does not have any of those.
| Service | What it is sent | When |
|---|---|---|
| OpenStreetMap | which map squares to draw | whenever the map moves |
| Photon, Nominatim | what you typed, or the point you tapped | when you search or tap a place |
| Overpass | the point you are looking around | when you open Stay, Eat, Essentials or See |
| Valhalla, OSRM | your position and the destination | only when you ask for a route |
| Open-Meteo | the coordinates of the place | when you open Weather |
| RainViewer, NASA | which map squares to draw | when you turn on radar or satellite |
Each of these runs under its own privacy policy. None of them is given anything that identifies you.
What is kept on your device
- places you bookmark
- your choice of English or Bengali
- map squares and answers already fetched, so the app works with no signal
All of that sits in your own browser storage on your own device. Clear the app's data, or remove the app, and it is gone. None of it reaches anyone else.
What the app does not do
| Collect personal information | No |
| Create an account or profile | No |
| Track you between sessions or across apps | No |
| Show adverts | No |
| Use analytics or crash reporting | No |
| Sell or share data with anyone | No |
| Read your contacts, photos, microphone or camera | No |
| Use your location in the background | No |
Children
The app is a public map and travel guide. It collects nothing from anyone, of any age.
Accuracy, and what you should check yourself
Place information comes from OpenStreetMap, which volunteers maintain, and coverage outside the larger towns is thinner. Bus, train, airline and launch operators are a hand-written list kept in the app: it names who usually runs a route, but carries no timetables or fares, because those change constantly. Always confirm with the operator before travelling. Weather is a forecast and can be wrong.
