Privacy Policy for Field Marker App
Effective Date: 27/09/2025
This Privacy Policy describes how Field Marker ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with your use of our mobile application.

Name and Contact Information of the Developer or Company

2. Information We Collect
Our app is primarily designed to visualize geospatial data and uses minimal personal data. We collect two main types of information:
A. Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)
When you use the app, we may collect information related to your use of the application, which does not directly identify you:
Device Information: Device model, operating system version.
Usage Data: How you interact with the app (e.g., features used, crash logs).
Map State: The last viewed map center coordinates and zoom level (saved locally to SharedPreferences for convenience).
B. Personal Information (Optional, Requires User Permission)
We only collect or process personal data if you explicitly grant permission:
Precise Location Data: We access your device's GPS location only when you tap the "locate me" function. This data is used solely to pan the map to your current location and is not stored or transmitted outside of your device. We use the Android LocationServices API for this purpose.
Files and Media: When you choose to load a file (KML or KMZ) using the file picker, we access the file's content from the provided Uri for the purpose of displaying its geographical features on the map. We do not copy, store, or transmit the file content or metadata outside of your device.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
4. Third-Party Services
Our application integrates the following third-party services that may collect information subject to their own privacy policies:
Google Maps Platform (Google, Inc.): The core mapping functionality relies on Google Maps. Google's use of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy ([https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)). Google may collect data about your usage of the maps component.
Google Play Services (Google, Inc.): Used for location services and other core Android functionalities.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We will not share your location or file data with any third party, except as necessary to comply with legal obligations (e.g., a court order or subpoena).
6. Data Security and Retention
Security: We take reasonable measures, including secure coding practices and using Android's built-in security features, to protect the information under our control from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.
Retention: Since we do not collect or store persistent personal data on our servers, we have no data retention policy for personal data. All local data (map state) is retained until you uninstall the app or clear the app's local storage.
7. Your Rights (EEA/California Users)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data. Since we do not store your personal data, your primary right is to withdraw consent for location access at any time by changing the permission settings on your device.
8. 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 "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
