What Locus will never do.
Every other map watches where you go and sells what it learns. Locus is built on the opposite promise — enforced by how it is made, not by how it is advertised.
We never store where you went.
Your location is resolved on your device. Locus answers your question and keeps no record that you asked it.
Merit ranks results. Money cannot move them.
No place buys its way to the top. What you find is ordered by what is true and useful, never by who paid.
What you find never becomes someone’s product.
Your searches are not a dataset. They are not sold, profiled, or fed to an advertiser. There is nothing to leak because nothing is kept.
The record is permanent and owned by you.
A place claimed on Locus is a permanent record under your control — not an entry in someone else’s database that they can change or revoke.
Find any place. Merit ranks it, money cannot move it — and nothing about where you looked becomes anyone’s product.
