Privacy Policy
Last updated November 1, 2026
YoriMap is made by MultiCloudServices. This policy explains what the YoriMap app does with your information. In short: your places and trips stay on your iPhone, there is no account, and we never sell or share your information.
What stays on your device
Your saved places, lists, trips and settings are stored on your iPhone (and on your Apple Watch when you use it). We don't receive them. If you delete the app, they are deleted.
Your location
With your permission, YoriMap uses your location on your iPhone to show where you are, find places near you, and guide a trip you've started. During a trip it can use your location in the background until you end the trip. Your location is never sent to us.
What YoriMap sends to our server
- A device check. To keep our service for genuine copies of the app, your iPhone proves it is running YoriMap using Apple's App Attest. Our server gives the app a random identifier and a key it can check. This identifier is not linked to your name, your Apple ID or anything else about you, and is used only to keep the service working and to apply daily limits.
- Live train status. To show delays, the app asks our server for the current status of Tokyo Metro and Toei lines. The request contains nothing about you.
- Elevator reports, only if you answer. If you tell YoriMap whether a station exit had an elevator, the app sends the station, the exit, your answer, any note you type, the date, and the app version. Reports are stored without any link to your device, so we can't tell who sent one. We use them to correct elevator information for everyone.
Our server runs on Amazon Web Services in Tokyo, Japan. Daily usage counters are deleted after three days.
Other services
YoriMap uses Apple Maps for maps, search, walking and travel times. When you open a place in Google Maps, Tabelog, Tripadvisor or Yelp, that site opens and its own privacy policy applies. When you share or paste a link into YoriMap, the app reads that link to find the place's name. Train data comes from the Public Transportation Open Data Center (ODPT) through our server.
What we don't do
No accounts, no advertising, no analytics or tracking, and no selling or sharing of information with anyone.
Children
YoriMap is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Your choices
You can turn off location access in your iPhone's Settings at any time, and you never have to answer an elevator question. Because reports aren't linked to you, we can't find one person's reports, but you can email us with any request.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. Please contact support@yorimap.com with any questions about privacy.
