Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 7 September 2022 Last Updated: 30 July 2025

Soft Clouds publishes various navigation and location-tracking apps, including GPS Tracker & Family Locator, as ad-supported applications. These services are provided at no cost and are intended for use as-is.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using our apps, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

To support core app features and enhance user experience, we may collect the following types of data:

Some information is collected by us directly, and some through trusted third-party services listed in Section 3.

2. Permissions and In-App Disclosures

Our apps may request the following permissions to function properly:

Important In-App Disclosure for Location Data: Before requesting any sensitive permissions, particularly for precise location (GPS), our app will provide a clear and prominent in-app disclosure. This disclosure will explain:

All permissions are requested for core functionality only and not for any unrelated purposes.

3. About GPS Tracker & Family Locator

GPS Tracker & Family Locator is designed to help users stay safely connected with people they trust.

4. Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services for analytics, advertising, crash reporting, and push notifications. These services may collect information such as device identifiers and usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of these third-party services for a comprehensive understanding of their data practices.

Third-party services used in our apps include:

Advertising Policy: As our apps are ad-supported, these third-party advertising services may use collected data (e.g., Device ID, AAID) to personalize ads. However, for any user identified as a child or whose age is unknown where required by policy (e.g., in apps potentially used by children), we ensure that ad requests are appropriately tagged to prevent interest-based advertising and remarketing, and to serve only content-appropriate ads.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our apps do not use cookies directly. However, third-party tools integrated into our apps (such as advertising and analytics SDKs) may use cookies or similar technologies (e.g., pixel tags, local storage) to improve their services, including for ad personalization, analytics, and service functionality.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain user data only for as long as necessary to provide core app functionality, improve our services, or comply with legal obligations.

For GPS Tracker & Family Locator, users may request account and data deletion at any time. To initiate a deletion request:

Submit this form: https://forms.gle/uBnE4GyMqtWEVMH9A 

Or, email us at: thejinnyapps@gmail.com with the subject line "Account Deletion Request", and include your registered username or the email associated with your account.

Please note: This is a manual process to ensure accuracy and user verification. Deletion requests are reviewed and processed within a reasonable time frame (typically within 30 days).

7. Children’s Privacy

Our services are generally intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that a child under 13 has submitted personal information without proper consent, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our servers.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at thejinnyapps@gmail.com to request removal. For apps where there might be a mixed audience (potentially including children), we take additional steps, such as configuring our third-party SDKs (especially advertising SDKs) to comply with children's privacy regulations (e.g., COPPA, GDPR) to ensure that data collection and ad serving practices are appropriate for children.

8. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

9. Links to Other Sites

Our apps may contain links to external websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of these third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage users to check back regularly to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
