Developer: EXO Studio
Contact: exostudio24@gmail.com
Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully before using the
"LocaPing GPS Tracker" mobile application (the "App"). By
downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by
these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The App lets a group of users (a "Circle") share their real-time
GPS location with each other, define Safe Zones with arrival/leave
notifications, exchange messages within the Circle, and review their
own location history kept locally on their device. The App is
intended for use between consenting family members or close
contacts who have voluntarily joined the same Circle by sharing a
6-character invitation code.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2. ELIGIBILITY
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
2.1 You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. Users between
13 and 17 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
2.2 You are responsible for complying with all local laws regarding
the sharing of location data, especially when adding minors or
other dependents to a Circle.
2.3 The App is not intended for surveillance, stalking, or any
monitoring of a person without their knowledge and consent.
Such use is strictly prohibited and may violate local law.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3. YOUR ACCOUNT AND CIRCLE
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
3.1 The App creates an anonymous identifier for your device on first
launch. You are not required to provide a real name, email, or
phone number.
3.2 The 6-character Circle code grants any holder the ability to
join your Circle and view shared data. Treat the code as a
password — do not post it publicly.
3.3 The user who creates a Circle is the initial "Owner" and may
remove other members. Ownership can be transferred to another
member before leaving the Circle.
3.4 You are solely responsible for who you invite to your Circle and
for the consequences of granting them access to your location.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
4. USER CONDUCT
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

(the App may flag suspected mock locations);
(e) Transmit unlawful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or
otherwise objectionable content through the in-app chat;
(f) Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or interfere with the
App's operation, security, or other users' data;

including those relating to children's privacy and consent.

if you grant "Always" permission. The App will indicate
background usage as required by iOS.

5.4 You may stop sharing your location at any time using the
in-app toggle, by leaving the Circle, or by uninstalling the

Apple under their refund policy.
