## The short version
AnonyMaps has no accounts. There is nothing to sign up for, no password to
create, and no profile to fill in.
We do not ask for your name, your email address, or your phone number, and we
have no way to learn them.
Your location is used on your device to sort meetings by distance. Your
coordinates are never sent to us. To find meetings near you, the app asks our
server for a large map square — tens of kilometres on a side — that your whole
area shares. It does not tell us where in that square you are.
We do not use advertising SDKs, analytics trackers, or cookies. We do not
build behavioral profiles. We do not sell or share your information.
---
## 1. Who we are
AnonyMaps is a mobile application operated by ProspectMiner, a Nevada company.
It helps people find 12-step recovery meetings near them. It is available on
the Apple App Store and Google Play.
AnonyMaps is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Alcoholics
Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or any other twelve-step fellowship. See our
Terms of Use. https://terms.anonymaps.org
---
## 2. What we do not collect
We do not collect, and cannot collect:
- Your name
- Your email address or phone number
- A password — there are no accounts
- Your contacts or messages
- Your photos, camera, or microphone
- Advertising identifiers (IDFA / AAID)
- Demographic information
- Any record of which meetings you view, search for, or attend
There is no account system, so there is no user record anywhere with your
information in it.
---
## 3. Your location
When you allow it, AnonyMaps reads your device's location while the app is
open, in order to centre the map near you and sort meetings by distance.
It also reads your speed while the app is open, and only while it is open,
so it can lock itself when you are moving at road speed. That is the safety
lock you see if the app is open in a moving vehicle. The speed is compared
against a number and thrown away — it is not stored on your device, it is not
sent to us, and no record of it exists after the moment it is read. Nobody,
including us, can look up how fast you were going or whether the lock ever
appeared.
If you decline the location permission, the lock simply does not operate and
the app still works.
Your coordinates are not transmitted to us. Distance is calculated on your
device, and our servers never receive your position.
There are now far too many meetings for the app to download all of them, so it
has to tell our server roughly which part of the world to look in. It does that
without revealing where you are. Your position is rounded down to a fixed grid
of large squares — about 28 kilometres, or 17 miles, on a side — and the app
asks for that square. Everyone in the same square sends an identical request,
so what reaches our server describes a region that hundreds of thousands of
people share, not a person. Your actual position never leaves your device, and
it is not rounded on our side, where we could still see the original: the
rounding happens on your phone, before anything is sent.
The square is a fixed grid rather than a box drawn around you, which matters:
a box centred on you would reveal your position at its middle, however large
it was.
Meetings are then sorted and filtered on your device, as before.
Your most recent coordinates are stored on your device only, so the map can
open somewhere useful next time instead of somewhere random. Deleting the app
erases them. Nothing about this is uploaded or backed up by us.
You can decline the location permission and still use the app — you can browse
the map, search, and get directions without it.
AnonyMaps does not request or use background location. It cannot see where you
are when the app is closed.
---
## 4. When you search for a place
If you type a postcode, a city or a country into the search screen, that text
is turned into coordinates by your phone's own maps service — Google's on
an Android phone, Apple's on an iPhone. It is the same service the phone uses
when you search in its own maps app.
That text therefore leaves your device, but it does not come to us. AnonyMaps
never sees what you searched for, what came back, or that you searched at all.
We then ask our own server for meetings in a large square around the result, in
exactly the way described in section 3.
We are telling you this because "nothing leaves your device" would be simpler
to say and would not be true. The app works perfectly well without ever opening
the search screen.
---
## 5. What leaves your device
### 5.1 Our meeting database
To show you meetings, the app requests meeting records from our database,
hosted by Supabase in the United States. Those requests say which fellowship
and which day you are browsing.
They do not contain your name, your identity, or your coordinates. We have
none of those things to send.
### 5.2 Your IP address
Any request over the internet carries an IP address. It is how a reply finds
its way back to you. The honest question is not whether one exists — it is who
receives it, and who keeps it.
Requests from this app do not go straight to our database. They pass through a
proxy we run on Cloudflare which rebuilds each request from an allow-list of
headers and forwards it. Our database provider therefore receives the proxy's
address, not yours. Verified on 15 August 2026 by measuring what actually
arrives at the far end: the request landed from a Cloudflare address, with no
`X-Forwarded-For`, no `True-Client-IP`, no `CF-Connecting-IP`, and no
user-agent. Our provider's own request log shows the same.
**So: we do not receive or store your IP address, and neither does our database
provider.**
What we will not claim is that your IP address is invisible. Cloudflare
terminates the encrypted connection and therefore sees it in transit, as every
network between you and any server does. The proxy keeps no logs, stores
nothing, and records no analytics. What changes is that nobody holds your
address next to what you searched for.
One thing does still reach our provider: Cloudflare adds a request identifier
ending in a three-letter code for the data centre that served you — `SJC` for
San Jose, for example. That is the location of a Cloudflare facility, not of
you, and it is region-level at best. We are telling you because it is the one
piece of coarse location information we cannot strip, and we would rather name
it than let the sentence above imply more than it should.
### 5.3 Map imagery
The map is drawn using the Google Maps SDK, which contacts Google's servers to
render map imagery. That interaction is governed by Google's own privacy
policy. We send Google nothing about you, because we have nothing to send.
### 5.3 Directions
When you tap "Get Directions" and choose a maps application, AnonyMaps hands
the destination address to the app you chose — Google Maps, Apple Maps, or
Waze — and steps out of the way. That application then operates under its own
privacy policy, not ours. AnonyMaps performs no navigation itself and does not
observe your journey.
We pass only the destination. We do not pass your starting point.
### 5.4 Links you tap
The Privacy Policy and Terms of Use links open web pages in your browser. Those
pages are plain static documents. They contain no scripts, load no fonts or
images from anywhere else, and make no third-party requests of any kind.
### 5.5 App stores
Apple and Google know that you downloaded AnonyMaps. That is between you and
them; we receive no personally identifying information from either, only
aggregate download counts.
---
## 6. Your calendar
If you tap the calendar button on a meeting, AnonyMaps asks your permission,
reads the list of calendars on your device to find one it can write to, and
adds a single event for the meeting you selected.
It does not read your existing appointments. It does not transmit anything from
your calendar anywhere. The event stays on your device and syncs only through
whatever calendar service you already use.
If you never tap the calendar button, AnonyMaps never asks for or touches
calendar access.
---
## 7. What we store on your device
All of this is local, readable only by AnonyMaps, and deleted when you delete
the app:
- Your most recent coordinates, so the map opens somewhere useful
- Your chosen fellowships (AA, NA, etc.), so you are not asked every launch
- Your language preference
- Whether you prefer miles or kilometers
None of it is uploaded.
---
## 8. What we never do
- We do not sell your information. There is nothing to sell.
- We do not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing companies.
- We do not build behavioral profiles or audience segments.
- We do not use analytics or attribution SDKs.
- We do not use cookies or web tracking technologies in the app.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites.
- We do not record which meetings you look at.
---
## 9. Data retention
We retain no personal data, because we collect none. There is no account to
delete and no profile to request.
---
## 10. Children
AnonyMaps is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect
information from them. Because we collect no personal information from anyone,
we hold no children's data. Recovery meetings are open to people of many ages;
this provision concerns data collection, not who is welcome in the rooms.
---
## 11. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR,
the CCPA/CPRA, or similar laws — to access, correct, delete, or port your
personal information, and to object to its processing.
We have designed AnonyMaps so that these rights have nothing to attach to. We
hold no personal information about you. If you contact us to exercise a right,
our honest answer will be that we have no record of you, and we will explain
why rather than simply refusing.
We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under
the CCPA/CPRA. We have never done so.
---
## 12. International users
Our meeting database is hosted in the United States. If you use AnonyMaps from
outside the United States, meeting records are served to you from United States
infrastructure.
---
## 13. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and describe
what changed. If a change ever expands what we collect, we will say so plainly
and prominently rather than burying it in a revision.
