Privacy Policy

Effective October 22, 2026. This policy explains how PinShift (the “App”, package com.tmsae.pinshift) handles data. Contact: tmsaeapp@gmail.com.

Summary

• PinShift has no accounts and no server of its own.
• Your real location and the locations you simulate are never collected, stored on a server, or sent to us.
• Favorites are stored only on your device.

Location permission

The App asks for location permission only so it can also apply the simulated location to Google location services (fused location) on your device, as Android requires. The App does not read, store or transmit your real location.

Address search

When you search for a place or pick a point on the map, the text or coordinates are passed to Android's built-in Geocoder (provided by Google Play services) to look up addresses. Map tiles are loaded from Google Maps. These requests are handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. We do not receive them.

Data collected by third-party services

• Firebase Analytics (Google): app usage events (for example, whether starting succeeded, setup steps completed, screens viewed), app instance ID, and device information. Events never contain coordinates, addresses, search terms or favorite names.
• Firebase Crashlytics (Google): crash reports and diagnostics (stack traces, device model, OS version).
• Firebase Remote Config (Google): app instance ID to deliver settings.
• Google AdMob (free version only): advertising ID, IP address (approximate location), and ad interaction data to show and measure ads. Where required, we ask for consent through Google's consent form. You can change your choice in Settings › Ad privacy choices.
• Google Play Billing and RevenueCat: purchase records and an anonymous purchase ID to verify Pro purchases and restore them.

Data is encrypted in transit. We do not sell personal data.

Retention and deletion

Favorites and settings are deleted when you uninstall the App or clear its data. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months. Because the App has no account, we cannot identify you; to request deletion of analytics or purchase records, email us with the Purchase ID shown in Settings.

Children

The App is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

We will update this page when the policy changes.
