NaviPointer is developed by Inidam Leader and offered as an ad-supported application at no
cost. This policy explains the data processed by NaviPointer, the data that remains on your
device, and the data processed by the third-party services used by the app.
NaviPointer does not provide user accounts, sign-in, or a developer-operated cloud database
for saved places. Third-party providers may process data as described below when their
services are used.
Data Collection and Use
Location and Device Sensors
With your permission, NaviPointer accesses your device's precise location to calculate
navigation information. It also reads compass, accelerometer, rotation, and magnetic
sensor data to determine orientation. These readings are processed on your device for
the app's navigation and compass features. NaviPointer does not upload your live GPS
location to a developer-operated server.
If you open or share a map link, geo URI, or place query with NaviPointer, the app can
use Android's system Geocoder to resolve a place name or coordinates. That optional,
user-initiated operation can send the imported place query or precise coordinates to the
device's geocoding provider. The provider and its retention practices are determined by
the device and service configuration, not by NaviPointer.
Location permission can be granted or revoked at any time through your device settings.
Saved Places and Preferences
Places you save in NaviPointer can include a name, optional description, coordinates,
altitude, colour, and creation or update timestamps. App preferences, such as display,
unit, navigation, and biometric-lock settings, are also stored locally on the device.
This information is used only to provide the app's features and is not uploaded by
NaviPointer.
Saved places remain on the device until you delete them in the app or clear the app's
storage or uninstall the app. NaviPointer disables Android backup in its manifest. If
you choose Open or Share, NaviPointer sends the selected place data to
the external app or recipient that you choose; that is a user-initiated transfer.
Data Transmitted by App Services
NaviPointer fetches configuration from Firebase Remote Config. Firebase receives a
Firebase installation identifier and app or device environment information, such as
country code, language, time zone, platform and operating-system version, package name,
and SDK version, to provide configuration values.
Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics are included for analytics and crash
reporting. The app initially disables their collection and applies its current Google
User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent state before enabling Firebase Analytics or
Crashlytics. When enabled, Analytics records the implemented rate, share, and
biometric-setting events. Crashlytics can receive crash stack traces, relevant app and
device state, non-fatal exceptions, and the limited technical keys set by the app.
Advertising and Privacy Choices
NaviPointer uses Google UMP to request and manage applicable advertising privacy choices.
Where UMP makes a privacy-options form available, it can be opened from the app's privacy
settings. The availability and choices shown depend on your region and the services
configured in the consent form.
The app initializes and requests banner and native ads through Google AdMob, AppLovin MAX,
and Meta Audience Network. AppLovin MAX can also use its configured mediated networks,
including Liftoff Monetize. These advertising services may process advertising or other
device identifiers, IP-address-derived approximate location, ad and app interactions, and
diagnostic information for advertising, measurement, analytics, and fraud prevention.
Advertising-related processing and available controls can vary by provider, region, and
consent state.
Service Providers
NaviPointer itself does not operate an account or saved-place server. The following
providers process data when their SDKs or services are used:
Firebase
for Remote Config, Analytics, and Crashlytics
The app also uses Android system services, including the system Geocoder, and a Google
connectivity endpoint to determine whether network access is available. Their handling of
network and technical information is governed by the applicable platform or provider
policies.
Diagnostics and Log Data
When Crashlytics collection is enabled, technical crash data and non-fatal exceptions can be
sent to Firebase to help diagnose failures. Advertising SDKs can also process diagnostic
information relating to ad delivery and performance. NaviPointer does not attach saved
places, live location readings, names, descriptions, account details, or payment details to
its Firebase Analytics or Crashlytics calls.
Identifiers and Similar Technologies
NaviPointer does not use browser cookies directly. Third-party advertising and Firebase
services can use device, installation, advertising, consent, or similar identifiers as
described in their own policies. You can reset or delete the Android advertising ID through
Android device settings where that control is available.
Links to Other Sites
This Service can open map applications, share a location through another app, and link to
third-party websites. Those destinations are not operated by NaviPointer. Review the privacy
policy of the app, recipient, or website that you choose.
Security
Local NaviPointer data is kept in the app's private storage. NaviPointer uses encrypted
connections when it transmits user data off the device to Firebase, advertising providers,
or system geocoding. If you choose to share data with another app or recipient, that
destination handles the transferred data under its own security practices.
Children's Privacy
NaviPointer does not include age verification or a child-specific mode. Because the app
includes third-party advertising services, parents and guardians should use applicable
device controls and review the privacy information of the advertising providers. Target
audience and Families-policy settings are managed in Google Play Console.
