Privacy Policy
App Name: RangeFinder
Developer: WinterDevStudios (private individual)
Effective Date: March 23, 2026
WinterDevStudios respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how RangeFinder handles information when you use the app.
Information We Access RangeFinder is primarily an offline rangefinder application that runs entirely on your smartphone. To provide its core functionality (measuring distances and ranges using device sensors), the app requests access to your device's location services (GPS).
We access precise location data only when you actively use the rangefinder feature and only for performing calculations locally on your device. This location data is not transmitted or stored anywhere.
Advertising via Google AdMob RangeFinder displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. The Google Mobile Ads SDK is integrated into the app, which automatically collects and shares certain data with Google to serve ads, personalize ads (if enabled), measure ad performance, and prevent fraud.
This may include:
Device identifiers such as the Android advertising ID (AAID) and app set ID
Approximate location data (derived from IP address or other signals)
App interaction data (e.g., ad impressions, clicks)
Other technical data necessary for ad delivery and analytics
No precise GPS location from the rangefinder feature is used for advertising purposes or shared with AdMob. All ad-related data collection happens through the AdMob SDK independently of the app's core functionality.
For more details on Google's data practices for advertising, see: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites (How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps).
No Other Data Collection or Server Storage by Developer Except for the AdMob advertising data described above, RangeFinder does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal data, precise location data, device information, or usage data with the developer (WinterDevStudios), any servers we control, or any other third parties.
All rangefinder processing (including GPS calculations) happens exclusively on your device in real time. No such data is saved persistently by the app.
No Data Sharing by Developer We (the developer) do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any information to third parties beyond what occurs automatically through the integrated AdMob SDK as described.
The app does not use any other analytics SDKs, crash reporting tools, or third-party services that collect data.
Permissions
Location (precise / GPS): Required only for the rangefinder feature. Denying or revoking this prevents core functionality but does not affect ads.
Other permissions: May include those required by the Google Mobile Ads SDK (e.g., internet access for loading ads).
Data Retention and Deletion
Developer side: No personal or sensitive data is collected or stored by us.
AdMob side: Data handling follows Google's policies (see link above). You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads via Android settings (Settings > Google > Ads).
Children's Privacy RangeFinder is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If ads are shown, they follow Google's Families policy where applicable.
Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date. Check this page periodically.
