Privacy Policy

Last updated: [Insert Date]

This Privacy Policy describes how [Your Name/Company Name] ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application, Speedometer (the "App").

1. Information Collection and Use

A. Location Data

The App�s core functionality relies on high-precision location data to calculate your real-time speed, distance, and recorded trip paths.

        Prominent Disclosure: Speedometer collects location data (GPS) to enable real-time speed tracking, distance calculation, and trip recording even when the app is in the background (via a foreground service). 
    

Foreground Use: To display your current speed and distance on the dashboard.
Background/Foreground Service Use: To ensure your trip is not interrupted if you switch apps or lock your screen while tracking is active.

B. Locally Stored Data

Trip history, including timestamps, speed stats, and GPS coordinates, is stored locally on your device's internal storage using an encrypted database. This data remains on your device unless you choose to delete it.

2. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you:

Google Play Services: Used for core app functionality and updates.
Google Maps: Used to visualize your recorded trip paths. Maps may collect location and usage data according to their Privacy Policy.
AdMob (Google): We show ads to keep this App free. AdMob may use device identifiers to serve personalized ads. View their Privacy Policy here.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal location data to third parties. Your GPS history is yours. We only disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

4. Your Rights and Controls

Location Permissions: You can grant or revoke location access at any time through your device settings. Note that the App cannot function without location access.
Data Deletion: You can clear your entire trip history at any time within the "Trip History" section of the App.

5. Security

We value your trust in providing us your information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable.

6. Children�s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
