Contact: [INSERT YOUR SUPPORT EMAIL]
DeadZone is an offline-first outdoor navigation and safety application designed for hiking, backpacking, cycling, hunting, and off-road activities.
We value your privacy and aim to keep your personal navigation information on your device whenever possible.
Depending on the features you choose to use, DeadZone may access:
Location information: GPS coordinates, location accuracy, movement, and recorded routes for navigation, trip planning, maps, waypoints, and return assistance.
Trip information: Selected trails, schedules, saved plans, checklists, personal trail notes, and recorded adventures.
Emergency contact information: Names, email addresses, and phone numbers you choose to enter.
Photos: Images you voluntarily select or capture for trail waypoints.
Device information: Compass, motion sensors, connectivity status, and other device capabilities needed for app functions.
DeadZone uses this information to provide navigation, offline maps, route recording, compass tools, trip preparation, safety features, and emergency-related information.
Location tracking may continue while your phone is locked when you have activated a supported navigation or recording feature.
DeadZone is designed to store saved trips, recorded tracks, personal trail details, downloaded maps, and cached weather information locally on your device.
DeadZone does not require a user account to access its core functionality.
The application does not include built-in advertising or analytics SDKs in the current release.
Some features require an internet connection.
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS): Trail searches and topographic map requests communicate with USGS services.
National Weather Service (NWS): Weather and alert requests transmit coordinates for the selected trail location or your device location, depending on your selection.
These services may receive technical information associated with requests, such as your IP address, under their own applicable policies.
DeadZone does not automatically transmit your saved trip history, emergency contact details, or private trail notes to a DeadZone-operated account or cloud service.
If you use your device's sharing functionality, the information you choose to share is handled by the application or service you select.
Locally saved information remains on your device until it is deleted through available application controls or the application's local storage is removed.
Uninstalling DeadZone generally removes its locally stored application data, subject to Android's backup and restoration behavior.
DeadZone does not currently maintain user accounts or a central database of personal trip records.
DeadZone uses device storage and operating-system protections for locally stored information and HTTPS for supported online requests.
No application or device can guarantee absolute data security. Protect your phone with an appropriate screen lock and keep your operating system updated.
DeadZone may request location, camera or photo access, notification, and other permissions necessary for specific features.
You can manage application permissions through Android settings. Disabling permissions may limit related functionality.
DeadZone is intended for general outdoor use and is not specifically designed for children under 13.
We do not knowingly operate a service to collect personal information directly from children.
DeadZone is a supplemental navigation and safety tool. It cannot guarantee location accuracy, safe passage, communication availability, or emergency rescue.
We may update this policy when application features or information-handling practices change. The effective date will be updated accordingly.
