BebraSoftAI / GPS Toolkit
Privacy Policy — GPS Toolkit
This Privacy Policy explains how GPS Toolkit ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use our Android application.
1. Location
- Location access is optional. The compass (magnetic north), the level and the area tool on a map you move by hand work without it.
- If you allow it, the App reads your location only while a tool that needs it is open (speedometer and trip recording, altitude, true north on the compass, your coordinates, the starting point of the area tool). Your coordinates are processed on your device and are not sent to us. They leave the App only when you choose to pass them on: see "Our other apps" and "Share" in section 2. When a map shows your area, the map tiles for that area are downloaded like for any other place you look at. The App does not use location in the background: a trip is recorded only while the speedometer is on screen.
2. Network requests made by the App
- 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 in the USA, IGN in France and Spain, GSI in Japan), and from Esri if enabled;
- Our other apps: the "My coordinates" screen has buttons that open Earth Map 3D and Danger Radar on your spot. If you tap one, your current coordinates are handed to that app, or, if it is not installed, to its Google Play page (in the install referrer, so Google receives them) so it can open there after installation. Nothing is passed unless you tap. Links to our other apps elsewhere in the App pass no coordinates. When you came from one of our 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. "Share" and "Open in a map app" send your coordinates only to the app you pick.
3. Information collected by third-party SDKs
- 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, trips (including the route of each trip) and saved plots are stored on your device. They are removed when you clear the App's data or uninstall it. If Android backup is turned on, your device may include them in its backup to your Google account or when you move to a new device; Google manages that backup and we cannot access it. We have no user accounts and no servers that hold your personal data.
6. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
