Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 14, 2026

Terms of Service

Mappr - Fake GPS Location is an Android app developed and operated by an individual developer.

This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.

1. Summary

Mappr uses location-related information because location is central to how the app works.

Depending on how you use the app, Mappr may process:

Mappr does not require you to create an account, and I do not ask you to submit your name, postal address, or phone number to use the app.

2. Information We Collect

A. Location Data

We do not collect or store your location data on any external servers. Location data is only processed locally on your device or sent transiently to third-party providers upon your request to provide core functionalities (like calculating a route or translating coordinates into an address).

If you grant location permissions, the app uses this data strictly to provide contextual map features, and your simulated locations remain safely on your device.

B. User-Provided Content

The app may process information you actively enter or select, including:

C. Locally Stored App Data

To optimize your experience without utilizing external servers, the app stores essential preferences and historical data directly on your device. This may include:

D. Diagnostics, Analytics, and App Performance Data

Mappr uses Google and Firebase tools that may automatically collect app-use and error information. This may include:

Examples include Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Firebase Remote Config.

E. Advertising, Consent, and Subscription Data

Mappr uses Google services for ads, privacy consent choices, and subscriptions.

These services may process information such as:

Where required, Mappr asks for ad-related consent before showing personalized ads. Subscription purchases are processed by Google Play, not directly by Mappr.

3. How I Use Information

I use information to:

4. Location Data and Mapping-Specific Processing

Because Mappr is a map-based app, location use is central to the service.

How location is processed

Local storage of location information

Based on the current app implementation, the following may be stored locally on your device until deleted or reset:

Third-party routing and geocoding

To provide search, address lookup, or route calculation, Mappr may send queries and coordinates to third-party mapping providers, including Google-based geocoder services and Mapbox.

These temporary data points are used exclusively to return the requested navigational paths, address lookups, and distances.

5. Third-Party Service Providers and SDKs

Mappr relies on third-party services for parts of the app. Those providers handle information under their own privacy policies.

Google / Firebase

Firebase Privacy and Security
Google Privacy Policy

These services may include:

Mapbox

Mapbox Privacy Policy

Mapbox may process user-initiated search queries, temporary coordinates, and basic technical data needed to provide routing and geographic functionalities.

I encourage you to review each third party's privacy policy before using features that rely on that provider.

6. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar requirements, I rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

You may withdraw permission-based processing at any time by changing your device settings or applicable consent settings, although some features may stop working as intended.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

I do not sell your personal information for money.

Information may be disclosed or made available in the following circumstances:

For users in California or similar jurisdictions, some advertising or analytics-related SDK processing may be treated as "sharing" under applicable law, depending on how those laws apply to mobile identifiers and ad-tech processing. Where required, I rely on Google's consent and privacy controls and will honor applicable legal obligations.

8. Data Retention

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Data stored locally on your device

Favorites, route history, app settings, premium cache state, and similar on-device records remain on your device until:

Third-party service data

Crash reports, analytics records, ad-related data, consent records, billing information, and infrastructure logs may be retained by the relevant third-party provider according to that provider's retention schedule and privacy policy.

Search and routing requests

Queries and coordinates sent to geocoding, search, or routing providers may be processed transiently and may also be logged by those providers under their own policies.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

10. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process information on servers located outside your country of residence. By using Mappr, you understand that information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.

Where required, I rely on appropriate safeguards provided by those service providers under applicable law.

11. Security

I use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information processed through Mappr. However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children's Privacy

Mappr is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information in connection with the app, contact me at rayyanmasterx@gmail.com so I can review the issue.

If local law provides a higher age threshold for children's data, that higher threshold will apply where required.

13. Links to Third-Party Sites and Services

The app may link to or rely on third-party services. I do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites, SDK providers, or service operators. I recommend reviewing their privacy notices directly.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or third-party integrations. When that happens, I will post the updated version with a new effective date.
