1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Location Finder: GPS Tracker application (the "App","we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the App. We are committed to ensuring your privacy and providing a transparent environment for location-based services.
2. Information We Collect
To provide the core tracking and safety features, we may collect the following types of information:
Geographic Location
To provide our core tracking Services, we collect your unique user identifier and real-time location data through GPS, WiFi, or wireless network triangulation. We also collect the location details of your designated "places" to send automated alerts when members arrive at or depart from those locations. If you delete a place, the corresponding location data for that place will be completely removed from our systems.
We only retain location information for the duration necessary to provide the Services. After that period, we will delete the location data that is linked to your personal information. However, we may keep de-identified, anonymous location data for an extended period to analyze overall trends and metrics. Additionally, we may share de-identified location information with third parties for research and analytics purposes.
If you wish to stop the collection of your location data, please disable the location permissions for the GPS Location Flow app in your mobile device settings.
Device Information
We may collect technical data such as device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers to ensure app stability and performance.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data strictly for:
Service Delivery: Enabling real-time location sharing and history between authorized users.
Safety Features: Sending SOS alerts or zone entry/exit notifications (Geofencing).
Operational Improvement: Analyzing app performance and fixing technical bugs.
Compliance: Meeting legal obligations and platform-specific policies.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
No Sale of Data: We do not sell your personal or location data to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
Consent-Based Sharing: Location data is only shared with individuals you have explicitly invited or authorized within the App.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.
5. Data Retention and Security
Retention: We retain location history only for the period necessary to provide the service (e.g., 30 days of history) or as required by law.
Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption (such as SSL/TLS) to protect data during transmission and at rest.
Anti-Surveillance: The App is designed for consensual tracking. Continuous background location usage will trigger a persistent notification to ensure the user is aware the service is active.
6. User Rights and Controls
Revocation of Consent: You can disable location tracking at any time via your device settings.
Data Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and all associated data through the App’s settings or by contacting our support team.
Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
7. Children's Privacy
Our App is intended for family safety. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent.
