Privacy Policy for SSField
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to SSField. We provide precision land measurement tools. This policy explains our data practices regarding GPS location, our map conversion service, and app analytics.
2. Location Data & "Walk to Draw"
Foreground-Only Access: SSField accesses your device's Precise Location (GPS) to enable the "Walk to Draw" feature.
Visibility: GPS tracking occurs only while the app is active and visible on your screen to ensure high-accuracy mapping. We do not track your location in the background.
Local Processing: By default, your raw GPS coordinates and field calculations are processed and stored locally on your device.
3. Map Data Conversion (SHP Export)
Online Conversion Service: To provide professional-grade exports, SSField uses an online server to convert your local map data into SHP (Shapefile) format.
User-Initiated: This process only occurs when you manually select the "Export" option.
Data Transit: Your field data is transmitted to our conversion server via secure HTTPS/TLS encryption.
Ephemeral Processing: Map data sent for conversion is used strictly to generate the SHP file and is not permanently stored on our servers or shared with third parties.
4. Google Analytics
Performance Monitoring: We use Google Analytics to monitor app stability and crash reports.
Anonymous Data: This service collects non-identifying info (e.g., device model, app version, and feature clicks).
Location Privacy: Your specific field coordinates and private maps are never shared with Google Analytics.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
SSField stores all data locally on the user’s device.
Users can delete all stored data at any time using the “Clear Maps” option inside the app.
No personal data is stored on external servers.
Analytics: You can reset your device's Advertising ID in Android settings to clear your analytics history.
