Short version: CoolOasis does not collect, store, or share any personal data on a server. No accounts, no tracking, no ads, no analytics.
If you tap “Locate me” or “Find nearest spot”, the app requests your location. It is used only on your device, in that moment, to center the map and find nearby spots. Your location is never transmitted to us or stored.
When you report a spot, it is shared to a community database so other users can see it on the map. A reported spot contains only what you enter (place name, type, optional comment) and its map coordinates — never personal data about you. Reported content can be flagged by users; flagged content is hidden automatically.
The map shows public venue data from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). When you move the map, the app requests this public data for the visible area. Map tiles load from OpenStreetMap servers. No personal information is sent in these requests.
The app is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.

CoolOasis is a light-hearted heatwave survival tool. Crowd-sourced spots are provided “as is” with no guarantee of accuracy or actual coldness.
