This Privacy Policy describes how Yardline: GPS for Dogs, collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application. This policy applies only to our mobile app and does not cover any third party websites, services or applications that may be accessed via links from our app.
Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information about you when you use our app. The app does not require any registration and does not collect any user data.
The only information our app collects relates to your device's interaction with Bluetooth low energy (BLE) devices. This is necessary for the app's functionality of connecting to and controlling BLE devices.
Our app also retrieves your location from your device's GPS to interface with Google Maps APIs. Your location information is used to provide mapping functions within the app and is not stored or transmitted off your device.
How We Use Information
As we do not collect any personal information, there are no uses of your information beyond supporting the app's functionality.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share any information collected from the app, as no personal information is collected at all. The only data used relates to connecting your device via BLE and interfacing with Google Maps, which is handled locally on your device and not transmitted externally.
Your Choices
As no personal information is necessary for or collected by our app, you cannot request deletion of data. If you do not want the app to access your device's BLE capabilities or location, you can disable access through your device settings or uninstall the app.
Children
Our app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you learn that a child has provided us information without parental consent, contact us at [email protected].
Changes to this Policy
We may occasionally update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices and services. When we post changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We recommend you check this policy from time to time to stay informed about how we are helping to protect your personal information.
