This Privacy Policy describes how the Speedometer app ("the App," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in a transparent and secure manner.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Personal Information
The Speedometer App does not require you to create an account or provide personal identifying information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use its core functionalities.
1.2 Location Data
Our App utilizes your device's GPS to provide real-time speed, distance, and trip information. This location data is:
- Collected in real-time: Your device's location is accessed only when the App is actively in use and requires it for its primary function (speed measurement).
- Not stored: We do not store, track, or retain your precise location data on our servers or on your device beyond the immediate session required for speed calculation.
- Not shared: Your real-time location data is not shared with any third parties.
- User-controlled: Access to your device's location is entirely controlled by your device's operating system permissions. You can enable or disable location services for the App at any time through your device settings.
1.3 Non-Personal Information (Analytics)
We may collect anonymized, aggregated non-personal information to understand how users interact with the App and to improve its performance and features. This may include:
- Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (anonymized).
- Usage Data: Information about how you use the App, such as features accessed, duration of use, and crash reports. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
This information is collected using third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase, Apple App Analytics). These services operate under their own privacy policies.
2. How We Use Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To Provide App Functionality: To calculate and display your speed, distance, and other trip-related data in real-time.
- To Improve the App: To understand user behavior, identify bugs, and enhance existing features or develop new ones.
- To Ensure Security: To monitor and prevent any fraudulent or malicious activity.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information or precise location data to outside parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated non-personal information with third-party analytics providers for the purposes outlined in Section 1.3.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
4. Data Security
We are committed to protecting your information. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your non-personal data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, please be aware that no security measures are 100% impenetrable.
5. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data. For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and California, these rights may include:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
- Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

As we do not collect or store personal identifying information or precise location data, the exercise of some of these rights may not be applicable or feasible. For any inquiries regarding your rights, please contact us using the details below.
6. Children's Privacy
The Speedometer App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
