Policies
SightFind Advertising and Sponsorship Policy
Effective date: May 19, 2026
SightFind may show a small number of clearly labeled first-party promotions to help support maps, sync, slope data, support, and ongoing development. The current App Store build does not include third-party ad SDKs.
Current Promotional Formats
- A permanent, non-intrusive RadarCopter promotion may appear in Settings.
- A timed RadarCopter promotion may appear after the app has been used for a while.
- SightFind Plus removes in-app ads and first-party promotional placements without blocking core group, map, slope, and location-sharing features.
- The current App Store build does not include Google Mobile Ads, does not request Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission, and does not use the advertising identifier.
Data Limits
- SightFind does not use precise GPS location, group activity, camera view, support messages, or saved slope downloads for promotional targeting.
- SightFind may use local app-use timing to decide when to show a first-party promotion.
- Opening RadarCopter through the App Store or its website leaves SightFind; Apple or the website may process standard request information under their own policies.
- Production releases that use third-party ads must keep App Store Connect privacy answers, this policy, and the in-app links aligned with the shipped build.
Placement Rules
- Promotions must be clearly labeled.
- Promotions must not hide emergency-relevant controls.
- Promotions must not block active AR friend-finding, map tracking, or live group location use while the user is navigating.
- Promotions must be appropriate for SightFind's App Store age rating.
Sponsorships
If sponsored content is introduced:
- It should be clearly labeled.
- It should not be presented as safety advice, resort authority, rescue guidance, or official terrain status unless it comes from an appropriate official source.
- It should not block AR, map tracking, emergency-relevant controls, or active group location use.
Default Standard
Any monetization should stay low-frequency, clearly labeled, truthful to the shipped build, and secondary to helping people find each other safely.
