Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Matechmobile Global ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use GPS Location Tracker - Go Maps (the "App"). It also explains the choices available to you. By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
1. Scope and our role
This policy applies to the Android app with package name com.go.maps.location.tracker.gps. It covers information processed directly by the App and information processed by the service providers integrated into the App. Third-party services process information under their own privacy policies.
2. Information we handle
Location information. With your permission, the App may access precise or approximate device location to show your current position, display maps and addresses, add coordinates and location information to photos or videos, and save places you choose. When you request a map, place, or address, coordinates or search information may be sent to Google Maps Platform to return the requested result. The App does not request background-location permission and is not designed to continuously track your location while you are not using a location feature.
Camera and media you create. With your permission, the App accesses the camera so you can preview and capture photos or videos and add details such as time, date, coordinates, address, map, or notes. Captured media is stored on your device by default. We do not use Firebase Analytics, advertising providers, or attribution providers to collect the contents of your photos, videos, or notes.
Saved places and preferences. Places, labels, notes, templates, settings, and related choices you save may be stored locally on your device so the App can remember them.
App activity and technical information. The App and its service providers may process app launches, screen or feature interactions, ad views and clicks, purchase status, diagnostic signals, device model, operating-system and app version, language, network type, IP address, advertising identifier, app-set or installation identifiers, and install/referrer information. Approximate location may be inferred from an IP address. We use this information to operate and improve the App, measure performance and campaigns, prevent abuse, display and measure advertising, and confirm purchases.
Purchase information. If you buy a subscription or in-app product, Google Play processes the payment. We may receive product, transaction, entitlement, and purchase-status information needed to provide and restore your purchase. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
Communications. If you contact us, we receive the information you send, such as your email address, message, and any attachments, so we can respond and provide support.
3. Device permissions
The App may request only the permissions needed for the feature you choose:
- Precise or approximate location: maps, coordinates, addresses, geotagging, and saved places.
- Camera: camera preview and photo or video capture.
- Network access: maps, addresses, advertising, analytics, attribution, billing, and service delivery.
You can deny or revoke optional permissions in Android Settings. A feature that depends on a denied permission may not work, but unrelated features should remain available where technically possible.
4. Why we use information
- Provide maps, location, camera, geotagging, timestamp, saved-place, and media features you request.
- Save your choices and maintain App functionality.
- Measure usage, diagnose problems, improve performance, and develop features.
- Display, personalize where permitted, limit, and measure advertisements.
- Attribute installations and measure marketing campaigns.
- Process, verify, and restore subscriptions or in-app purchases.
- Protect users, investigate misuse, comply with law, and enforce our Terms of Use.
- Respond to questions, support requests, and privacy requests.
5. Service providers and data sharing
We do not sell the contents of your photos, videos, notes, or saved places. We share or allow processing of information only as needed to provide the App, with your direction or consent, for legal and safety reasons, or during a business reorganization. The current App build includes the following services:
| Service | Purpose | Information that may be processed | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Maps Platform & Google Play services location | Maps, device location, places, coordinates, and address results | Location coordinates, map or place queries, IP address, and device or request information | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Firebase Analytics | Usage analytics and App improvement | App interactions, app and device information, installation or app-instance identifiers, and approximate location | Firebase Privacy and Security |
| Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) & User Messaging Platform | Advertising, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and privacy-consent management | Advertising or app-set identifiers, IP address, device and network information, ad interactions, diagnostic signals, approximate location, and consent choices | How Google uses data for advertising |
| AppLovin | Advertising delivery and mediation, measurement, and fraud prevention | Device and advertising identifiers, IP address, device and network information, ad interactions, diagnostics, and approximate location | AppLovin Privacy Policy |
| AppsFlyer | Install attribution and campaign measurement | Advertising or installation identifiers, install/referrer and campaign data, App interactions, device and network information, IP address, and approximate location | AppsFlyer Privacy Policy |
| Google Play Billing | Subscriptions and in-app purchases | Product, transaction, entitlement, and purchase-status information; payment details are processed by Google Play | Google Privacy Policy |
Advertising partners may act as independent controllers of information they receive and may combine it with information from other apps or services as described in their policies. Depending on your region, consent may be requested before personalized advertising or related storage and processing are enabled.
6. Legal bases for processing
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: (a) performance of our contract with you to provide requested App features; (b) your consent for permissions, personalized advertising, or other processing where consent is required; (c) our legitimate interests in operating, securing, analyzing, and improving the App, balanced against your rights; and (d) compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time through available App controls, Android settings, or by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already completed lawfully.
7. Your choices and rights
- Location and camera: manage permissions in Android Settings > Apps > GPS Location Tracker - Go Maps > Permissions.
- Local content: delete photos or videos through the App or your device gallery, delete saved places or notes in the App, clear the App's storage, or uninstall the App.
- Advertising: use any privacy-choice control presented in the App and manage or delete your device's advertising ID in Android privacy settings. Ad choices vary by region and device.
- Purchases: manage subscriptions in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Privacy rights: depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, withdrawal of consent, or a portable copy of personal information we control, and you may lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority.
Because much of the App's content is stored only on your device, we may not possess or be able to identify that content. We may ask for reasonable information to verify and process your request.
8. Data retention and deletion
On-device content such as photos, videos, notes, settings, and saved places remains until you delete it, clear App storage, or uninstall the App. Uninstalling may not delete media already saved to a shared device gallery; delete that media through the gallery or file manager.
Analytics, advertising, attribution, purchase, and support information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, according to our configured retention periods and the service providers' retention rules, and as required for security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution, or law. Aggregated or de-identified information that no longer identifies you may be retained longer.
To request deletion of personal information we control, email contact.matechmobile@gmail.com with the subject “GPS Location Tracker - Go Maps data deletion request.” Include enough detail for us to understand your request, but do not email sensitive location data, photos, payment-card details, or passwords.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No device, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Protect your device with an appropriate screen lock and review location details before sharing geotagged media.
10. International processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, we and our providers use safeguards intended to protect personal information during international transfers.
11. Children's privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age required in their country, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action. If the App is later offered to children, we will apply the additional consent, advertising, and Google Play Families requirements that apply.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy to reflect App, legal, or service changes. We will post the revised version at this URL and update the “Last updated” date. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required.
