1. Introduction

MyRecords (“the App”) is developed to help users view their current GPS location and record information associated with that location. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information when you use it.

By using MyRecords, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

a. Location Data

The App accesses your device’s GPS location to display your current position as an OS grid reference (within the UK) or as latitude and longitude coordinates (outside the UK).

When you first use the App, Android will ask for your permission to allow MyRecords to access your device’s location. You can choose whether to grant or deny this permission. The App cannot determine your position or save a location-based record without it.

Location data is processed only on your device and is never transmitted or shared with the developer or any third parties.

b. User-Entered Information

You can enter your own notes or information as part of each record. These records are stored locally in daily CSV files in your device’s Documents folder. You have full control over these files and can open, share, or delete them as you wish. No record content is uploaded or shared externally.

c. Analytics Data (Firebase)

MyRecords uses Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage information that helps understand how the app is used and to improve its performance.

The data collected includes information such as:

Firebase Analytics automatically generates an App Instance ID to differentiate anonymous app installations. This ID is not linked to any personally identifiable information and does not allow the developer to identify individual users.

Analytics data is processed by Google in aggregated form and is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use the Information

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

The developer does not share, sell, or transmit any personal or location data. Usage analytics are processed by Google Firebase as described above, in accordance with Google’s privacy and security practices.

5. Storage and Security

All user records are stored locally on your device. You have complete control over your data and may delete it at any time. The developer does not have access to or store any user-generated content.

6. Permissions

The App requests the following permissions:

These permissions are used solely for the functionality described above.

7. Children’s Privacy

MyRecords is not intended for children under 13 years of age and does not knowingly collect any personal information from them.

8. Your Privacy Choices

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected by the “Effective date” above. Continued use of the App after updates means you accept the revised policy.
