Mirante is a map of what places look like right now. This policy explains what the app collects, why, who else sees it, and how long it is kept. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

Introduction

• Every photograph is deleted 24 hours after it is posted. Not hidden — deleted.
• Your exact location is never sent to anyone. Pins sit about 150 metres from where the photo was taken.
• Other people can see roughly where you are while you are using the app, and can see that you opened their photo or visited their profile. The record of a profile visit does not expire.
• We do not sell your data, and there is no advertising or analytics in the app.

What we collect

Your account

Signing in uses Sign in with Apple. We receive a user identifier and an email address, which is Apple's private relay address unless you choose to share your real one. We never receive your Apple password.

You may optionally link a Google account. If you do, we receive the identifier and email address that Google returns.

So that deleting your account also severs the connection at Apple's end, we store a token Apple issues when you sign in. Its only use is to tell Apple to revoke that connection when you delete your account. It is not a password, and it cannot be used to reach anything else in your Apple account.

Your profile

A display name, a handle, an optional short bio, an optional profile photo, and optionally the country you are from. You choose all of these and can change them at any time.

Your photographs

A photograph is taken inside Mirante, with the camera, at the moment you post it. There is no way to upload one from your photo library.

Location

When you post, we record where you were. That coordinate is stored on our server and is never sent to any other user's device. What other people see is a separate point, offset roughly 150 metres in a random direction, calculated once when the photograph is posted and never recalculated.
