Privacy Policy for ParkReminder
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you use the ParkReminder mobile application ("App").
Information We Collect
When you use ParkReminder, we collect the following types of information:
- Location Data: We collect your device's location (GPS coordinates) when you save a parking spot. This is essential for the core functionality of the app to remember where you parked your car.
- Photos: If you choose to take a photo of your parking spot, these photos are stored on your device. We do not upload or share these photos with our servers or third parties.
- Parking Details: Information you enter about your parking session, such as start and end times, notes, and reminder settings.
- Device Information: Basic information about your device needed for the app to function properly.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the core functionality of the ParkReminder app, including remembering where you parked and sending you reminders.
- Display your saved parking location on a map and help navigate you back to your car.
- Send local notifications to remind you when your parking time is about to expire.
- Improve and optimize the app's performance and user experience.
Data Storage and Security
All your parking information is stored locally on your device using secure methods. We do not upload your parking data, photos, or location history to any external servers. Your data remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to share it (for example, by sharing your parking location with someone else).
Advertising
ParkReminder may display advertisements through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect certain information to serve relevant ads, including:
- Device identifiers and information
- IP address
- General location information (not your precise parking location)

- Camera: To allow you to take photos of your parking spot.
- Storage: To save photos of your parking spot on your device.
- Notifications: To send you reminders about your parking session and when it's about to expire.
Data Sharing
We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following cases:
- When you use map functionality, basic location data is shared with map service providers (such as Google Maps) to display maps and provide navigation.
- As required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process.
Your Rights
You have control over your data. You can:
- Delete any parking sessions you've saved.
- Clear all of your data by uninstalling the app.
