Location Simulator – Mock GPS Privacy Policy Last Updated: February 8, 2026

Location Simulator – Mock GPS ("the App") is a developer tool designed to help software developers test location-based features in their applications. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information.

1. Purpose and Scope of the App This app is designed solely for the following purposes: • Software developers testing location-based applications • Quality assurance professionals conducting app testing • Users seeking to protect their location privacy • Educational purposes related to understanding GPS technology

IMPORTANT: This app should NOT be used for: • Cheating in games or applications • Fraudulent activities • Violating the terms of service of other applications • Any illegal purpose

2. Information We Collect

A. Location Data • Mock Location Coordinates: The simulated GPS coordinates you set within the App are stored locally on your device only. • Device Location Permission: The App requests location permission to initialize the map view at your current location. Your actual location is never collected, transmitted, or stored on any server. • Data Retention: All location data (mock coordinates, favorite locations, route waypoints) stays on your device and is never transmitted to external servers.

B. Local Preferences • User Settings: Your app preferences, consent status, and favorite locations are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences. • No Personal Identifiers: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personal identification information. • No Account Required: The App does not require user registration or login.

C. Firebase Remote Config • Purpose: We use Firebase Remote Config solely to check the minimum app version required for update notifications. • Data Transmitted: Only the app's current version number is compared against a server-side configuration value. No personal data, device identifiers, or usage data is collected or transmitted through this service. • No Analytics: We do NOT use Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, or any other Firebase data collection service.

D. Google Maps Platform • Purpose: Google Maps SDK is used to display the interactive map interface. • Google's Data Collection: Google Maps SDK may collect certain data as described in Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). This data collection is subject to Google's own terms and is outside our control. • We do not access or receive any data collected by the Google Maps SDK.

3. Third-Party Services and SDKs We use the following services: • Google Maps Platform: For map display and coordinate selection (subject to Google's Privacy Policy) • Firebase Remote Config: For app version check only (no user data collected)

WE DO NOT USE: • Any advertising SDK (no AdMob, no ads) • Any analytics or tracking SDK • Any crash reporting service • Any social media SDK • Any data broker or third-party data sharing service

4. Data Storage and Security • Local Storage Only: All app data (mock locations, favorites, settings, consent records) is stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences and local file storage. • No Cloud Sync: Your saved locations and preferences are not synced to any cloud service. • No Server Communication: Beyond Firebase Remote Config (version check only) and Google Maps map tile loading, the app does not communicate with any external server. • No Data Collection Server: We do not operate any server that collects, stores, or processes user data.

5. Data We Do NOT Collect To be explicit, we do NOT collect: • Your real GPS location • Device identifiers (IMEI, Android ID, advertising ID) • Device model or operating system version • Usage statistics or behavioral data • Crash reports or error logs • IP addresses • Any personal or demographic information • Any financial or payment information

6. Children's Privacy This app is not directed at children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect personal information from any user, no special child data processing procedures apply. However, the app requires knowledge of Android Developer Options and is intended for developer use.

7. Your Rights You have the right to: • Delete all locally stored data at any time by clearing the app data from Android Settings or uninstalling the app • Revoke location permission at any time through Android Settings • Contact us for information about our data practices

8. International Users This app stores all data locally on your device. No data is transferred to servers in any jurisdiction. Google Maps SDK and Firebase Remote Config may route network requests through Google's global infrastructure as described in their respective privacy policies.
