Privacy Policy

Location & Network Apps by Yalintech

Last updated: October 11, 2026

This policy applies to:

1. Overview

Yalintech ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our location & network apps collect, use, and protect your information.

Key principle: Our apps are designed to work primarily on your device. We minimize data collection and do not sell your personal information.

2. Data We Collect

Our location & network apps may access the following types of data:

GPS location and coordinates — processed locally on your device
Reverse geocoding (address lookup) — the coordinates are sent to your phone's built-in address lookup (Apple or Google) to find the address; we do not receive them
WiFi network information and signal strength — processed locally on your device
Network connectivity status — processed locally on your device
Device and battery information — used on your device for the feature; basic device details are also included in analytics and crash reports (see section 5)

Sent to the services in section 5: Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, Google AdMob and any ad mediation partners receive a pseudonymous installation ID, your device's advertising ID (where you allow it), your IP address, and basic device details such as device model, OS version and app version. What you create in the app is not part of that.

3. How We Use Your Data

Data accessed by our apps is used solely to provide the app's core functionality:

To perform the specific function you requested (scanning, reading, measuring, etc.)
To save your preferences and history locally on your device
To improve app performance through usage analytics sent to Google under a pseudonymous ID

We do not: Sell your data, share it with third parties for marketing, or use it for purposes beyond the app's stated functionality.

4. App Permissions

These apps may request the following permissions:

Location/GPS
WiFi State
Network State
Battery

Permissions are requested only when needed for core functionality. You can revoke permissions at any time in your device settings, though this may limit app functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

Our apps use the following third-party services:

Firebase Analytics — Records how the app is used (for example screens viewed and features used, app version, device model and OS version). These events are linked to a pseudonymous, persistent installation/user ID — a random identifier generated by the app, not your name or email. The data is pseudonymous, not anonymous. Firebase Privacy
Firebase Crashlytics — Crash reporting to improve app stability. Collects crash logs and stack traces, device model, OS version and app version.
Google AdMob — Free versions of our apps show ads served by Google AdMob. On Android the apps declare the advertising ID permission (AD_ID) and the Android ad services permissions (ACCESS_ADSERVICES_*), so AdMob may use your device's advertising ID and ad services, and ads can be personalised. On iOS, the advertising identifier (IDFA) is used only if you allow tracking when Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt asks; you can change this later in iOS Settings. Google Privacy Policy
Ad consent (Google User Messaging Platform) — In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the app asks for your consent to ads and related data use through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalised ads are shown. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the app's Settings, under Privacy options.
Ad mediation — This app serves ads through Google AdMob only and does not add other ad networks.
Google Play Billing / Apple App Store — In-app purchases and subscriptions are handled by Google Play or the App Store. The app receives only the purchase status; we never see your payment details. Pro status may be verified with our server at yalintech.com.

Your own data stays on your device: There is no account to create. What you create or measure in the app stays on your device unless you choose to export or share it.

Premium/paid versions of our apps typically have reduced or no advertising.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

Data is stored locally on your device using standard OS security mechanisms
Nothing you create in the app is uploaded. Analytics, crash and ad data are sent to Google and to ad partners, as described in section 5
Any network communications use encrypted connections (HTTPS)

7. Children's Privacy

Our apps are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

Access — Request information about data we hold about you
Deletion — Request deletion of your data (most data is local and can be deleted by uninstalling the app)
Opt-out — Disable personalized advertising in your device settings
Portability — Export your data where the app provides export functionality

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
