4. Location Data

The App requests access to your device's location to surface nearby points of interest. Location data is processed on-device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can revoke location access at any time through your device's Settings app, though this will limit core app functionality.

5. AI-Generated Content

Descriptions of places are generated by an on-device AI model (Apple Foundation Models). These descriptions are generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or up to date. They should not be relied upon for navigation, safety, or critical decision-making. Passby is not responsible for inaccuracies in AI-generated content.

The App integrates with third-party services including Apple MapKit, Firebase, and Sign in with Apple. Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. Passby is not responsible for the practices of third-party services.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any defects will be corrected. Place information sourced from MapKit may be inaccurate or outdated — always verify before relying on it.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Passby and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
