Positional is a free and open-source app, offered for use as is. This document details data collection and usage by the app.
Positional only directly collects one piece of information about you or your device: location. This is the core function of the app. As such, it requests your location from Android or Google Play Services. Once the location is provided to Positional, the app displays it, then discards it. Your privacy is highly valued, so the location of your device is never stored or sent to anyone or anywhere- it is solely for displaying to you.
Positional does not directly collect any additional information about you or your device. However, it does use some third-party services offered by Google in order to help the developers create a better experience for users. See the section below for more details.
Positional makes use of several third-party services in order to help the developers improve your experience in the app. These services include:
- Firebase Crashlytics gathers information related to any crashes that the app experiences.
- Firebase Analytics gathers information about how users in general use the app.
- Firebase Performance gathers performance related information, e.g. how quickly the app was able to determine your device's location.
All of these services collect an "advertising identifier", which is an identifier that is unique to every individual install of Positional. The identifier is not tied to any personal information.
If you have any concerns regarding this policy or your privacy, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can create a GitHub issue at https://github.com/miketrewartha/positional or you can send an email to Mike Trewartha, the main developer of the app, at trewartha.mike@gmail.com.
That's it :) Thank you for using Positional!
