sideways is a navigation app, and as such it will use the location of the user. However, this location only exits the user’s phone when using the search functionality, to give relevant results near him. This location is never stored and this can be avoided by disabling location before searching.
sideways will store the email address and Google account ID(Primary account) of users to keep track of the amount of route requests they have left and if they have purchased the premium version with unlimited route requests. This information is uploaded to our servers and shared with Google to verify purchases and visualization of ads. The ad platform used is AdMob and the user may be subject to targeted advertising if he has that option enabled. However, sideways only shares the Google account ID to request the ad.
When the app crashes, the information about the problem is anonymously sent to the app servers for later analysis. This includes the logs of the crash and basic phone information like the model and Android version, but it does’t contain any account/identification data.
If any user wishes to delete their data, the app doesn’t provide a direct way of doing it but they can contact me at the email address below and I will have no problem deleting it.
For any questions about the app and its data treatment I’m available at my email address bolito2hd@gmail.com
