2 years agoHi pleaseopensource1p 👋
We've built this feature in a way that maximizes your control over your location data.
- For those looking for maximum privacy, they don't have to give 1Password permission to use their location. They can still add locations to their items (by entering in the latitude/longitude) and they can use (for example) Open in Maps if they want to see that location in using an external mapping service.
- For those comfortable giving 1Password permission to use their location, they'll be able to make use of showing Nearby Items (items physically close to you). Your location is only used to compute distances between you and your items and isn't saved or logged, and it doesn't leave your device.
- For those comfortable with using a Mapping service, we will show your item on a map inside 1Password. Since this involves a non-1Password technology (e.g Apple's MapKit on iOS, Google Maps on Android) we make this opt-in so that you maintain full control over your item location data.
Hopefully this helps explain how we use your data (we worked really hard to give you the most control), please let us know if you have any more questions.
