Privacy Policy — Speed GPS

This translation is provided for convenience. If it differs from the French version, the French version prevails.

Speed GPS is a mobile application that displays your position, speed, altitude and the navigation satellites visible from your device. It can also record a trip and export it.

Who is responsible

Speed GPS is published by Atria.Eponym, an individual developer based in France. Contact: atria.eponym@gmail.com

Data the app accesses

The app reads the following from your device, only while you are using it:

• Your precise location (GPS and other navigation constellations), to show your coordinates, speed, altitude and track.
• Satellite signals in view: identifier, constellation, elevation, azimuth and signal strength.
• Wi-Fi networks in range: name, security type and signal strength. No connection is made.
• Bluetooth devices in range: name and signal strength. No pairing or connection is made.
• Device status: battery level and health, memory, storage, processor activity, and the pressure and tilt sensors.

What stays on your phone

All of it. These readings are shown on screen and, if you start a recording, held in memory for the duration of the trip. Also stored locally:

• your preferences: chosen language and unit system;
• your waypoints and a history of your last twenty exports;
• the GPX files you export yourself, in your device's Documents/SpeedGPS folder.

Uninstalling the app erases preferences, waypoints and history. GPX files you exported are yours and remain on your device: only you decide whether to keep, delete or share them.

What leaves your phone

Only three features require a connection, and you should know exactly which.

Apart from these three cases, nothing leaves your device. The 3D globe, the sky view, the satellites, the sensors and trip recording all work entirely offline.

What the app does not do

• No account, no sign-up, no identification.
• No advertising, no advertising trackers.
• No analytics or usage statistics.
• No transmission of your trips or positions to the developer.
• No sale or sharing of data with third parties.

How your data is protected

The publisher runs no server and receives none of your data, so there is no database to protect, no password to steal, and no breach that could happen on the publisher's side.

• On your phone — your positions, trips and settings are written to the private storage that Android reserves for the app. No other app can reach it. If your phone is locked with a PIN, a pattern or a fingerprint, Android encrypts those files at rest.
• In transit — the app opens only three kinds of connection, all over HTTPS and therefore encrypted end to end: Google Maps tiles, Esri map tiles, and the Google Play store when you choose to donate. No cleartext connection is possible.
• No authentication — the app creates no account and stores no credential, token or password.
• Your GPX exports — they are written wherever you choose. Once they leave the app they follow the rules of the place you store them or the service you send them to, and are no longer covered by the protections described here.

Permissions requested, and why

• Precise location — without it the app has no purpose: no position, speed, altitude or satellites.
• Background location (foreground service) — only while a trip is being recorded, so it continues when the screen turns off or the phone is in a pocket. A persistent notification tells you recording is under way.
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth — to list signals in range in the Networks tab. No connection is made.
• Notifications — to display the recording notification, as Android requires.

You can withdraw these permissions at any time in Android settings. The corresponding features then stop displaying, without affecting the rest.

Your rights

The General Data Protection Regulation grants you rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection over your personal data. With this app these are exercised directly on your device: the developer holds no data about you, and therefore has nothing to disclose or erase. To remove everything, uninstall the app and delete any GPX files you exported.

For any question, write to atria.eponym@gmail.com.

Children

This app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data concerning them.

Changes

This policy may change if the app changes. The last update date appears at the top of this page. Any substantial change will be noted in the release notes.
