Effective date and last updated: November 6, 2026
GeoVista Launcher (the “App”) is provided by the developer identified in its Google Play listing. This policy explains the App’s permissions and how related information is collected, used, shared, and deleted.
1. Permissions and Purposes
Internet and network state: Load maps, public webcams, panoramas, weather, exchange rates, translation, advertising, and other online content.
Notifications: Provide reminders and shortcuts. You may deny permission or disable notifications in Android settings.
Default home and app information: Display app names, icons, and package names made available by Android and manage desktop icons, folders, and widgets. You can change your default launcher in system settings. Uninstalling another app requires system confirmation.
Advertising identifiers and basic device status: Relevant SDKs may use advertising identifiers and basic network or device information for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. Some SDKs may also use wake locks, vibration, or background tasks to support notifications and services.
Images, speech, and sensors: Image selection, photography, and speech input use system or external apps when you choose these features. Image text recognition runs on the device; text submitted for translation is sent to the translation provider. Speech services may process audio or text online. Compass and panorama motion features use device sensors.
The current App does not request precise GPS location, background location, direct camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, call-log, or broad storage permissions. Approximate location is inferred from your IP address and is not used to continuously track your location.
2. Information Collection and Use
Language, theme, favorites, searches, timer records, and related histories are primarily stored on your device to preserve your preferences and feature state.
When you use online features, providers may receive your IP address, request time, technical device information, and necessary request parameters, such as searched places, viewed coordinates, languages, or translation text. Translation text is processed by MyMemory / Translated, and image text recognition uses Google ML Kit.
The App and integrated SDKs may also process device or installation identifiers, screen and feature interactions, ad impressions and clicks, notification events, errors, and crash information. These support functionality, analytics, advertising measurement, troubleshooting, and security.
You decide whether to send feedback and selected attachments through your email or sharing application.
3. Third-Party Services and Sharing
The App uses services including Google/Firebase, TopOn, and its advertising mediation partners for advertising, analytics, crash reporting, configuration, and messaging. Map, translation, and media features may also connect to relevant content providers.
These services may process necessary information for the purposes described above under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose necessary information to meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect users and service security.
Processing that legally requires consent must use an appropriate consent mechanism; this policy does not replace that consent. You can manage available advertising preferences through Android privacy settings and relevant provider controls. Restricting personalized advertising does not remove all ads.
4. Retention, Security, and Deletion
We retain relevant information only as needed to provide services, handle feedback, maintain security, and meet legal obligations. We take reasonable protective measures, and feature-service requests use HTTPS. However, no network or storage method is completely secure.
You can delete supported records in the App or remove local data through Android Settings → Apps → GeoVista Launcher → Storage → Clear storage.
Clearing storage or uninstalling does not automatically delete system backups, previously sent emails, or third-party server records. Third-party providers apply their own retention rules, and some services may process information outside your country or region.
5. Your Choices and Contact
You may decline optional permissions, disable notifications, change your default launcher, manage advertising privacy settings, or stop using particular features. Declining a permission may affect the related functionality.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete information, withdraw consent, or object to certain processing. The App does not require registration and currently has no App account to close.
For privacy, support, access, or deletion requests, contact sophiaasoi8@gmail.com. Describe your request and provide only the information necessary to locate relevant records. We handle requests under applicable law.
The App is not designed specifically for children. Contact us if you believe a child provided information that should not have been collected. We may update this policy when features or legal requirements change and provide notice or obtain consent where required.
