Last updated: September 24, 2026. ParkTrace is designed as a local-first Android application. This policy describes core application behavior. The store listing, permission prompts, and any third-party services included in a particular release may provide additional details.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the ParkTrace Android application, which helps you save, organize, and revisit locations. It does not apply to third-party map, navigation, sharing, app-store, or other services that you choose to open from ParkTrace. Those services have their own privacy policies.
2. Information stored on your device
ParkTrace can store the information you choose to add to a saved place, including its name, category, coordinates, floor or level, section or area, spot, house or shop number, notes, reminder settings, and attached photos. The app may also store preferences such as theme and language.
Saved-place data is designed to be stored locally on your Android device using a SQLite database. ParkTrace does not require an account or a cloud database for its core saved-place functionality. Local storage is not invulnerable: anyone with access to your unlocked device, device backups, exported files, or shared photos may be able to access that information.
If you export a JSON backup or PDF report, the resulting file is created on or made available through your device. You decide where to save it and who receives it. ParkTrace cannot control copies that you export, share, print, or upload elsewhere.
3. Device permissions
- Location: used when you request your current position, measure distance, or choose a place using GPS. ParkTrace can save coordinates you provide without an active network connection. If a particular release uses an external geocoding, reverse-geocoding, or routing service, that service may receive the coordinates needed for the request; see the store listing for release-specific details.
- Camera and photos: used only when you choose to capture or select a photo for a saved place. Photos you attach are stored with your saved-place data on the device. You can decline these permissions and still use location-saving features that do not require them.
- Notifications: used for reminders you set, subject to your Android notification settings.
- Files and sharing: used when you choose to export, restore, print, or share information. Android and the app you select may process the content during that action.
You can review or revoke permissions in Android settings. Revoking a permission may disable the feature that depends on it, but it does not automatically delete saved data.
4. Maps and network services
When the app loads online map tiles (for example via OpenStreetMap data and a configured tile provider), the tile provider may receive technical request information such as your device’s network address and requested tile coordinates. The map provider’s terms and privacy policy apply to those requests. Coordinates saved in ParkTrace remain usable as locally stored data when connectivity is limited. If a release does not load online map tiles, this network disclosure does not apply to that release.
5. Sharing and third parties
When you open directions, share a location, print a report, or open an exported file, ParkTrace hands the selected content to the Android system or the third-party application you choose. That application may collect, retain, or otherwise process the information under its own terms. ParkTrace does not control those third-party practices.
ParkTrace’s core functionality is not intended to sell your saved places or use them for advertising.
6. Third-party SDKs and remote services
Some releases may include third-party software development kits (SDKs) or remote services (for example analytics, crash reporting, or maps-related libraries). Any such components, and the data they may process, will be identified in the relevant Google Play store listing and Data safety section. If a release contains no analytics, advertising, or remote account-based services, the core app continues to operate primarily with on-device storage.
7. Your choices and data retention
You can edit or delete saved places, remove attached photos, disable reminders, change permissions, and choose whether to create or share backups. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage can remove locally stored data, subject to Android backups and files you exported separately. Keep a backup before clearing storage if you need to preserve your places.
ParkTrace has no account portal through which we can retrieve or delete your local database.
8. Security
We use the platform storage and permission controls available to the app, but no device, file, or transmission is completely secure. Use a device lock, keep Android updated, and treat exported backups and shared links as sensitive if they contain private places.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when ParkTrace’s features, permissions, or services change. The “Last updated” date above will change when a new version is published. The updated policy applies from the stated effective date (or the Last updated date), subject to applicable law.
10. Contact
For privacy questions or requests related to ParkTrace, contact us at apppromodaily@gmail.com or through the support contact shown in the Google Play store listing. Please do not send sensitive location data unless it is necessary to resolve your request.
