Thank you for using Crime Radar. Our goal is to help users view crime-related information in a simple and useful way. Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information while you use the app.
We want you to feel confident that your data is handled responsibly and used only to provide, maintain, and improve Crime Radar. By using the app, you agree to the terms described in this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us through the Contact Us section in the app.
Crime Radar does not require users to create an account or input personal information to use the app.
The app may request access to your location to show nearby crime information, area-based alerts, safer route features, or map-related results. You can allow, deny, or change location access anytime from your device settings. Some features may not work properly without location access.
Crime Radar may request permission to send notifications. Notifications may be used for location-based alerts, alert areas, or other app-related updates. You can manage notification permission through your device settings at any time.
We may collect anonymous or aggregated usage data, such as how users interact with the app, which features are used, and how the app performs. This helps us understand what to improve and fix.
We may also collect basic technical information such as device model, operating system version, language, app version, country or regional information, and general diagnostics like crash logs. This helps us keep the app stable, secure, and reliable.
Crime Radar stores app-related data locally on your device. This may include app preferences, saved areas, recent views, alert settings, or other settings needed for the app to work properly.
We do not store your local app data on our servers. If you delete the app, locally stored app data may also be removed from your device.
Crime Radar may offer optional premium features through in-app purchases or subscriptions. Payments and subscription management are handled securely through Apple’s payment system.
We do not receive your complete Apple payment card information.
We use information only to provide and improve the main features of Crime Radar. This may include showing nearby crime information, providing map and location-based functionality, supporting safer route calculations, sending optional alerts, improving app performance, fixing bugs, and making the app more reliable.
We may use anonymous and aggregated usage data to understand how Crime Radar is used and improve the app experience over time.
If you contact us for support, we may use the information you provide to respond to your request and assist you.
Crime Radar may display crime-related information based on available data sources. This information is provided for general awareness only and may not always be complete, current, or fully accurate.
Crime Radar is not a law enforcement service, emergency service, or public safety authority. In an emergency or dangerous situation, you should contact local emergency services or the appropriate authority.
