Data licences and credits
Spotplanner is built on open data. This page says where the content comes from and under which licence, as those licences require.

Our packs
The destination packs the app downloads — the selection of spots and the derived defaults — are published at github.com/dordzhiegorov-cyber/spotplanner-packs under CC BY-SA 4.0, with the credits above. The ranking shown in the app (the Spot Score) is computed on your device from these open signals.
What is not used
No Google Places data is stored or ranked; Google content appears only inside Google's own cards. No Instagram data is collected. No content is scraped.
Corrections and takedowns
A wrong fact is best fixed at the source (Wikidata, OpenStreetMap, Wikivoyage), where it helps every app. A photo you own and want removed: hello@spotplanner.eu, handled the same day.
