Privacy Policy for GPS Location Manager

Effective Date: July 24, 2024

This privacy policy outlines how GPS Location Manager ("the App") handles your information. Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. This policy will help you understand what data the App accesses and how it is used.

Information We Collect and How It Is Used

The App is designed to be a private and secure tool for managing your personal location data. All data you create is stored exclusively on your device.

• Location Data (GPS): The App requires access to your device's location (Coarse and Fine) to perform its core function: displaying your current location on the map. This information is used to get your real-time position and to generate an address, which you can then choose to save.
• Photos and Media: The App allows you to select images from your device's gallery to attach to a saved location. To ensure that these images are not lost if the original is deleted from your device, the App copies the selected images into its own private, internal storage directory. The App only accesses images you specifically select.
• User-Generated Data: Any data you enter, such as a Location Name, Address, Note, or Group name, is saved along with your location data.

Data Storage and Security

All of your data is stored locally on your device's internal storage. This includes:

• Saved location details (name, address, notes, group, coordinates).
• Copies of the images you attach to your locations.
• Your custom-created group names.

We do not have access to your data, and it is never automatically uploaded, collected, or transmitted to us or any third-party server. Your data remains on your device under your control.

User Control and Data Management

You have full control over your data. The App provides the following features for you to manage your information:

• Export: You can export your saved locations to GPX, KML, or CSV files. This action is user-initiated, and you choose where to save the exported files on your device.
• Backup and Restore: You can create a full backup of your app data (including location details and images) as a single `.zip` file. You can also restore your data from a previously created backup file. Both backup and restore processes are entirely user-initiated, and you select the file location.

Third-Party Services

The App utilizes third-party services to provide its full functionality. These services have their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Google Maps Platform: The map feature is powered by the Google Maps SDK. Your use of this feature is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Learn more about Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdMob: The App displays ads from Google AdMob to support its development. AdMob may collect and use data to provide personalized advertising. Learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Children's Privacy

This App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in this space. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
