1. Introduction
Welcome to My Trackr ("the App", "the Software", "our App", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how BIAN ("the Company", "the Developer", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you use our My Trackr application available on Android platforms.
My Trackr is a GPS-based activity tracking application that records location data, movement patterns, trip history, speed, and activity types. Due to the sensitive nature of location data, we urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully before using the App.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using My Trackr, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the App.
Our Core Privacy Principle: By default, My Trackr stores all data locally on your device. We do NOT automatically collect, transmit, or store your location data on external servers unless you explicitly opt-in to cloud features. Your location history is your private information.
2. Acceptance of Terms

- You consent to the collection and processing of your location data as described in this Policy
- You accept full responsibility for all activities conducted through the App
- You will use the App in compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws
- You understand that location data is sensitive and you assume all risks associated with its collection
- You understand that the App is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind
- You waive any claims against BIAN, its developers, affiliates, and partners arising from your use of the App
- You will NOT use the App to track other individuals without their explicit consent
- You acknowledge that location data could potentially be used in legal proceedings and you accept this risk
IMPORTANT: Your continued use of the App constitutes your ongoing acceptance of this Privacy Policy and any future modifications. If you do not agree to these terms, discontinue use immediately and uninstall the App.

4. Location Data - Special Provisions
Due to the sensitive nature of location data, this section provides detailed information about how My Trackr handles your geographic information.
4.1 Types of Location Access
- Foreground Location: Collected when the App is open and actively in use
- Background Location: Collected when the App is running in the background (if you grant permission)

- You can delete individual trips or all location history
- You can revoke location permissions through device settings
- You can export your data before deletion for personal backup
- Uninstalling the App removes all locally stored location data
5. App Permissions
My Trackr requires certain device permissions to function. By granting these permissions, you acknowledge their purpose and accept responsibility for their use:
