Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GPS Land Measuring (“the App”) accesses, uses, stores, and handles information.
1. Information the App Uses
Location
The App may request precise or approximate location to provide features such as:
- GPS/GNSS position display
- GPS Corner measurement
- Walk measurement
- map positioning and recentering
- measurement point collection
- GNSS status and accuracy information
Location permission is optional if you only use features that do not require GPS/GNSS positioning.
The App does not use your location for advertising.
Measurement Information
Measurement records may include:
- geographic coordinates
- points, lines, and areas
- distances, perimeter, and area values
- timestamps
- accuracy information
- altitude, speed, and bearing where available
- measurement labels
- accepted and rejected GPS observations
- raw GPS evidence retained for supported measurement modes
- calculation and edit history
This information is primarily stored locally on your device.
Photos, Videos, and Files
The App may allow you to:
- attach photos or videos to measurements
- capture photos
- select media from your device
- import geographic data
- generate and export files
- create PDF reports
- save or share QR codes
The App only accesses media or documents you choose through supported App functions.
2. Local Storage
The App stores measurement information, settings, attachments, and related records locally in application-managed storage.
Locally stored information may remain on your device until you:
- delete it through the App
- clear the App’s data
- uninstall the App
Deleting a measurement does not automatically delete copies you previously exported, shared, printed, or saved elsewhere.
The App may retain a locally generated ZIP export separately from the measurement record until it is replaced or cleared.
3. No Nicehave Measurement Cloud
The current version does not provide:
- a Nicehave user account
- cloud synchronization
- cloud storage of measurement projects
- an App-owned measurement backend
Measurement databases and attachments are not intentionally uploaded to a Nicehave measurement server.
If you voluntarily contact support by email or Telegram, that communication is separate from the App’s local measurement storage.
4. Third-Party Map and SDK Services
The App uses third-party services and SDKs, including services associated with:
- Google Maps
- Mapbox
- MapTiler / OpenStreetMap-based map display
- Google ML Kit for QR/barcode processing
- Android location services
These third parties may receive technical or operational information needed to provide their services.
Depending on the service, this may include:
- IP address
- device or application identifiers
- SDK version
- map requests
- viewed map areas
- usage events
- crash or performance diagnostics
- approximate or precise location information where applicable
The App does not control third-party retention or processing practices.
Please review the privacy policies of the relevant service providers for additional details.
5. Maps and Location Exposure
When using online maps, map providers receive requests necessary to display map content.
These requests can reveal the geographic area being viewed even when raw GPS observations are not intentionally uploaded by the App.
Mapbox SDK telemetry may also process usage or location-related information according to Mapbox’s own settings and policies.
6. QR Processing
QR scanning is performed using on-device barcode recognition.
The barcode or QR content itself is processed locally for App functionality.
However, SDK providers may still collect diagnostic, application, device, or usage information independently of the barcode content.
7. Attachments and Metadata
Photos and videos stored by the App may preserve metadata already embedded in the original file.
This can include metadata such as:
- capture date
- device information
- location metadata, if present in the source file
The App does not guarantee that embedded EXIF or similar metadata is removed.
When you share an original attachment or export a package containing attachments, embedded metadata may also be included.
8. Import, Export, and Sharing
The App supports user-controlled import and export of measurement information.
Supported workflows may include:
- GeoJSON
- CSV
- KML
- ZIP packages
- PDF reports
- QR data
- original media attachments
Exported information may include:
- coordinates
- measurement values
- labels
- timestamps
- raw observation evidence
- attachments
When you send content to another application, storage provider, email service, print service, or recipient, that external service’s own privacy practices apply.
The App cannot control the data after it leaves the App.
9. QR Sharing
Measurement information may be encoded directly into a QR code.
Compression or encoding does not encrypt the information.
Anyone who can view or scan the QR code may be able to access the information contained in it.
Only share QR codes with intended recipients.
10. Support and Issue Reporting
The App allows you to contact support or report an issue.
Support contact:
Email: support@nicehave.com
Telegram: @jaminkk
The Report an Issue function opens your email application and may prefill:
- App version
- build number
- issue-report template text
The App does not automatically attach measurements, coordinates, photos, videos, logs, or other project data to the support email.
You decide whether to send the message and what additional information to include.
11. Advertising
The current version does not contain an advertising SDK and does not use location or measurement information for advertising.
12. Analytics and Diagnostics
The App does not operate its own analytics service or standalone crash-reporting platform.
However, third-party SDKs used by the App may collect usage, performance, diagnostics, installation identifiers, or crash-related information according to their own policies.
13. Permissions
Depending on the features you use, the App may request access to:
- precise or approximate location
- camera
The App does not currently request broad storage access, background-location permission, microphone permission, Bluetooth permission, or advertising-ID permission.
Media and file selection is handled through Android user-selected file or media access where supported.
14. Data Security
The App is designed to keep measurement information locally where practical and to avoid unnecessary App-owned network transmission.
However:
- local App files are not guaranteed to be encrypted by the App itself
- exported files may not be encrypted
- QR encoding is not encryption
- no electronic storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security
You are responsible for protecting access to your device, backups, exported files, and shared information.
15. Data Deletion
You may delete measurements and attachments through supported App functions.
Deleting locally managed App content does not delete:
- exported files
- previously shared copies
- gallery originals
- cloud-provider copies selected through external services
- information already sent to map or SDK providers
- support communications already sent
- copies held by recipients
Clearing App data or uninstalling the App normally removes App-private local data, subject to Android and device-manufacturer behavior.
16. Measurement Accuracy
GPS/GNSS accuracy depends on many factors, including:
- satellite availability and geometry
- buildings and vegetation
- signal reflections
- atmospheric conditions
- device hardware
- movement
- measurement duration
- measurement technique
The displayed accuracy value is an estimate and not a guaranteed measurement error.
The App is not a substitute for a certified cadastral or professional survey.
17. Children
GPS Land Measuring is a general-purpose mapping and measurement utility and is not specifically designed for children.
18. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when App functionality, SDKs, legal requirements, or data practices change.
The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
