This Privacy Policy describes how Fake GPS ("the App") handles your information. The App does NOT collect, store, or transmit your personal identifiable information (PII) or real-time location data to any external developer server.
1. Information Processed and Purpose
Location Data (Precise and Coarse Location): Used strictly on your device to display your current location on the map when you tap the "My Location" button. We do NOT transmit or sell your location data to any third parties or external servers.
Mock Location: Used solely to inject user-specified virtual GPS coordinates into the Android system mock location provider.
Saved Favorites & History: Saved strictly on your local device storage (SharedPreferences) for your convenience.
2. Permissions Used
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: Used to display the user's real location on the map.
ACCESS_MOCK_LOCATION: Used to simulate mock location coordinates as requested by the user.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION: Used to keep the mock location service running reliably in the background with an ongoing notification.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used to show the ongoing service status notification with quick controls.
INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to download OpenStreetMap map tiles and display advertisements via Google AdMob.
3. Third-Party Services and Advertising
