Privacy Policy for Maps Bridge

Last updated: September 18, 2026

Maps Bridge is a free Android app (package dev.dorna.mapsbridge) that opens Apple Maps links you share or paste in Google Maps. This policy explains in plain language what happens with your information: almost nothing leaves your phone.

1. Short version

  • No accounts. No sign-up or log-in.
  • No ads and no tracking. No analytics SDKs.
  • No servers. Conversion happens on your device.
  • No sale of data. We do not collect personal data to sell or share.

2. What we collect

We do not collect, store, or receive your name, email, precise location history, or the links you convert. The app does not send your links to us. Everything you share or paste stays on your phone, except as described below for short links.

3. How links are handled

When you share a full Apple Maps link (maps.apple.com/...) to Maps Bridge, your phone reads the location on-device and opens the same place in Google Maps. No network call to us is involved because we operate no backend for this app.

Short links like maps.apple/p/... need internet once to expand. Your phone makes a brief request directly to Apple to resolve the short link. That request is between your phone and Apple and is subject to Apple's privacy policy. We do not see or log it.

4. Permissions

Maps Bridge only uses what it needs to receive shared links and open Google Maps:

  • Receive shared text and links via the Android Share menu and clipboard paste you initiate.
  • Internet access only to expand short links and to open Google Maps.
  • No background location, contacts, or storage access.

5. Support messages

If you contact us from the Support page, you choose what to send. Please send only the link that did not work, your Android version, and what you saw. We use that message only to reply to your request. Do not send passwords or other sensitive details.

6. Children

The app does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children. Because all conversion is local, there is no data collection to opt out of.

7. Changes to this policy

If we update the app or this policy, we will update the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy. See also our Terms of Use.
