Overview
JapanDō ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application.
We designed JapanDō with privacy in mind. The app works primarily offline and does not require an account or registration.
Information We Collect
Location Data
JapanDō requests access to your device's location solely to show nearby trash bins on the map. Location data is used only within the app and is not transmitted to our servers or stored beyond your session.
Usage Data (Firebase Analytics)
We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics (e.g., which screens are viewed most). This data helps us improve the app and does not identify individual users. You can opt out via your device's privacy settings.
Crash Reports (Firebase Crashlytics)
If the app crashes, anonymized diagnostic data is sent to Firebase Crashlytics to help us identify and fix issues. No personal information is included in crash reports.
Preferences
Your language preference, saved favourites, and onboarding status are stored locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
JapanDō displays ads provided by Google AdMob. Google may use device identifiers and other data to show relevant ads in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
You can limit ad tracking via:
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → disable for JapanDō
- iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → Limit Ad Tracking
Third-Party Services
- Firebase (Google) — Analytics, Crashlytics
- Google AdMob — Advertising
- Google Maps — Map display
- OpenStreetMap / Overpass API — Trash bin location data
Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.
Data Retention
We do not maintain a user database or store personal information on our servers. All preference data is stored locally on your device and can be cleared by uninstalling the app.
Children's Privacy
JapanDō is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
