PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: January 25, 2026
Golub (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our mobile application.
We do not collect personal information (such as your name, email, or phone number) directly on our servers. However, the app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.
Anonymous Analytics: We use Firebase Analytics to track anonymous app usage (e.g., screens visited, features used, crash reports). This data helps us improve stability and user experience.
Advertising Data: We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use your device's Advertising ID, approximate location, and other usage data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your consent settings.
Mock Location Features: The app processes your location data locally on your device to provide mock location services and route simulations. This specific "spoofing" data is not transmitted to our servers nor stored by us.
Advertising Location: Our advertising partners (Google AdMob) may access your coarse (approximate) location to provide relevant advertisements, subject to your device permissions and consent.
The Application includes a virtual currency system ("Credits" or "Energy") which can be earned by watching advertisements or purchased. You acknowledge and agree that:
No Monetary Value: Credits have no real-world monetary value, are not legal tender, and cannot be redeemed for real money, cash, or transferred to other users or applications.
License: Credits constitute a limited, personal, revocable, and non-transferable license to use digital features within the Application.
Local Storage (Important): Golub does not store your Credits on a cloud server. Your Credit balance is stored locally on your device. If you uninstall the Application, clear app data, or lose access to your device, any accumulated Credits will be permanently lost and cannot be recovered or refunded.
We offer "Rewarded Ads" where users can voluntarily watch a video advertisement in exchange for virtual Credits.
By clicking to watch an ad, you agree to share data (such as device identifiers) with our advertising partners to load the video.
Credits are only awarded upon successful completion of the video ad as verified by the ad network.
If you purchase a subscription (Weekly, Yearly) or a one-time product (Lifetime):
All financial transactions are handled securely by Google Play Billing. We do not process or store your credit card information.
We may receive anonymous transaction receipts to validate your "Pro" status.
The app utilizes third-party services for map display, routing, analytics, and advertising. These services may collect data according to their own privacy policies:
Google AdMob: Google Privacy Policy
Google Maps & Places API: Used for map visualization.
Google Routes API: Used for route geometry calculation.
Firebase Analytics: Used for stability and usage metrics.
If you purchase the "Lifetime" access package, this refers to the lifetime of the Service, not the user. We reserve the right to discontinue online features (such as Routing APIs or Updates) with reasonable notice if technical or business conditions change drastically.
If you are located in the EEA or UK, you have the right to consent or decline personalized advertising upon your first launch of the app. You can manage these preferences inside the app settings or via your device's "Ads" settings at any time.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
