Privacy Policy — Danger Radar
1. Location
Location access is optional. The Radar, the feed and alerts for places you choose on the map work without it.
If you allow it, the app reads your location only while a screen that needs it is open (your position on the Radar, "Scan nearby", moving the map to you when you choose a place to watch, the "near you" part of the feed). Your exact coordinates are processed on your device. The one exception is the crime check described below, which sends a point rounded to about 100 m. The app does not use location in the background: alerts check places you saved, not where you are.
2. Network requests made by the App
The app downloads data over encrypted HTTPS connections:
- Map tiles and map styles from OpenFreeMap (map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, OpenMapTiles), satellite imagery from EOX IT Services GmbH (Sentinel-2 cloudless) and national mapping agencies (USGS, IGN, GSI), and from Esri if enabled;
- Natural events: earthquakes from the U.S. Geological Survey and open volcano, wildfire and storm events from NASA EONET are downloaded as worldwide lists and filtered on your device, so no location is sent for them;
- Crimes: when you scan a point (or a check of a saved place finds that new data was published), the point, rounded to about 100 m, is sent to the open data service that covers it: data.police.uk in the UK, or the open data portals of the cities of Chicago, San Francisco or Seattle. Before downloading, background checks only ask these services whether new data exists, without any location. The app stores no more than it needs to tell new reports from ones it already showed;
- Alerts (optional): if you save places and keep alerts on, the app checks them in the background (once a day, or every 1, 3, 6 or 24 hours with Pro) and shows a notification when something new appears near them. The app also asks Google Play whether Pro is still active;
- Our other apps: if you tap a button that opens another app of ours (for example "Fly here from space" in Earth Map 3D), the coordinates of that spot are handed to that app, or, if it is not installed, to its Google Play page so it can open on that spot after installation. Only the spot you chose is passed;
- When you came from one of our other apps, the app reads the Google Play install referrer once, to open the spot you chose there.
Like any internet request, these services receive your IP address.
Address search, when you choose a place to watch, uses the search service built into your Android device (on devices with Google Play services, provided by Google). The app sends the text you type, not your location, and does not store your searches.
3. Information collected by third-party SDKs
The app uses third-party services that may collect information according to their privacy policies:
- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) and mediation partners may collect your IP address (used to estimate approximate location), Advertising ID, App Set ID, device and app information and ad interactions, to serve and measure ads, for analytics and fraud prevention.
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config) collects app usage events, installation identifiers, crash reports and diagnostics to improve the app.
- Google Play Billing processes subscriptions and one-time purchases. We do not receive your payment details.

4. Consent and privacy options
In the EEA, the UK, Switzerland and applicable US states, a consent form from Google's User Messaging Platform is shown before ads are requested. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy and ad choices in the app.
5. Data stored on your device
Your settings, watched places and their names, what was already reported, and the result of your last scan (its point and what it found, shown on the home screen widget) are stored only on your device. They are removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall it. We have no user accounts and no servers that hold your personal data.
6. Not an official warning service
The app shows public data for information only. It is not an emergency or official warning service, and alerts can come an hour or more after an event.
7. Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
