Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 26, 2026

CK Design & Development, LLC (“CKD&D,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Apex Mini Map mobile application (“Apex” or the “App”).

Apex provides an arcade-style driving minimap using device location, heading, speed, motion signals, and map data. This Privacy Policy explains how information is processed when you use Apex or contact us for support.

Information Apex Processes

Location and driving-related information

If you grant location permission, Apex may process:

  • Your precise or approximate device location
  • Direction of travel and device heading
  • Estimated speed
  • Location accuracy and related location signals
  • Map position, road information, and visual driving overlays

This information is used to operate the live minimap and related map features.

Some location and driving-related information may be processed directly on your device. Information may also be transmitted to Mapbox when necessary to load maps, provide map functionality, process map requests, and operate Mapbox telemetry.

Apex does not require an account and does not maintain a user profile or a server-side history of your drives.

App preferences

Apex may store preferences locally on your device, including:

  • Map theme
  • Color selections
  • Cursor position or point of view
  • Road Focus settings
  • Onboarding completion
  • Other display and app settings

These preferences generally remain on your device and are not associated with an Apex account.

Mapbox information

Apex uses Mapbox software and services to provide maps and location-based features.

Depending on the Mapbox products and features used, Mapbox may receive information such as:

  • Location coordinates and location accuracy
  • Device and operating-system information
  • App and Mapbox SDK versions
  • Internet Protocol address
  • Randomly generated session or billing identifiers
  • Map requests and timestamps
  • Map and feature usage information
  • De-identified location telemetry

Mapbox processes this information under its own Product Privacy Policy and applicable agreements.

Support communications

If you contact us, we may receive:

  • Your email address
  • The contents of your message
  • Device model and iOS version
  • Screenshots, screen recordings, or other files you voluntarily provide
  • Other information needed to investigate and respond to your request

Do not include sensitive personal information that is not necessary for us to assist you.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Keep the minimap centered on your current location
  • Display heading, estimated speed, road shape, map content, visual overlays, and nearby fuel stations
  • Operate Road Focus and other driving-view features
  • Save your preferences on your device
  • Respond to support requests
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Maintain, secure, and improve Apex
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and users

Location Permission

Apex uses location while the App is in use and location permission is enabled.

Location access is necessary for Apex’s primary live-minimap functionality. If you deny or disable location permission, some or all driving-map features may not function.

You can change Apex’s location permission at any time through iOS Settings.

Apex is not designed to allow other Apex users to view or track your location.

Mapbox Telemetry

Mapbox’s mobile SDK may transmit de-identified location and usage telemetry to Mapbox to support and improve Mapbox products and services.

You may use the Mapbox privacy, attribution, or telemetry control made available within Apex to opt out of Mapbox telemetry. Disabling telemetry may not prevent information from being transmitted when it is necessary to provide a map feature that you request.

You may also disable Apex’s access to location through iOS Settings, although doing so will limit the App’s functionality.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your information for third-party behavioral advertising, and we do not use Apex to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Information may be disclosed:

  • To Mapbox and other service providers as necessary to operate Apex
  • When required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process
  • When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, misuse, security incidents, or threats to safety
  • To protect the rights, property, or security of CKD&D, Apex users, or others
  • In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate protections

We use service providers only where their contractual or legal obligations provide protections consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

Data Retention and Deletion

Information stored locally

App preferences stored locally remain on your device until you:

  • Change or reset the applicable setting
  • Clear the App’s data where supported
  • Delete Apex from your device

Deleting Apex generally removes information stored locally by the App, subject to the behavior of iOS backups and other Apple services.

Location information

CKD&D does not maintain its own server-side database containing your location history or driving history.

Mapbox retains and processes information according to its own privacy policy and retention practices.

Support information

We retain support communications for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to and resolve your request
  • Maintain business and support records
  • Diagnose recurring technical issues
  • Protect against fraud or misuse
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

You may request deletion of support information by contacting us. We may retain certain records when required or permitted by law.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning personal information, including the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or information about how it is processed.

You can:

  • Change or disable location access through iOS Settings
  • Opt out of Mapbox telemetry through the privacy or attribution control available in Apex
  • Delete Apex to remove locally stored preferences
  • Contact us to request access to or deletion of support information we maintain

Because Apex does not require an account or maintain its own location-history database, we may not possess information that allows us to identify a particular user or drive.

Requests concerning information controlled independently by Mapbox should be directed to Mapbox through the privacy-request methods described in Mapbox’s Product Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information under our control.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Apex is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

International Processing

Mapbox and other service providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Privacy and data-protection laws in those countries may differ from those in your place of residence.

Where required, service providers are responsible for using legally recognized safeguards for international data transfers.

Third-Party Services

Apex currently uses Mapbox for map and location-related functionality.

Mapbox’s processing is governed by the Mapbox Product Privacy Policy, Mapbox Terms of Service, and other applicable Mapbox documentation.

Apex may also rely on Apple and iOS services. Information processed independently by Apple is governed by Apple’s applicable privacy policies and terms.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to Apex, our practices, third-party services, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the App or another appropriate method.
