TopoDroid Privacy Policy 2017 02 01 marco.corvi@gmail.com The app TopoDroid /play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.topodroid.DistoX may collect the following personal information about the user, USER NAME The user can enter his/her name, as well the name of his/her fellows, as part of the "Team" field of surveys. These informations is not used directly by the app, and is saved to the user files in the external memory. The user can use any string for such names, and does not have to use his/her personal data. The user can protect his/her identity, by leaving this field empty. This will not affect any app functionality. USER LOCATION The user can enter data of geographical points, or acquire the user position via GPS. This action is not automatic, but must be initiated by the user. Furthermore the user can enter fake coordinates reserving to change them with the correct values after the user files hav ebeen transferred to a safe environment. The geographical information is not required for most of the app functionalities. The export of a survey in KML format or as track file depends on the geolocation. Of course these export will be of little use if the user has entered fake coordinates, unless the user can correct for the difference in coordinates. The geographical points are saved to user files in the primary external memory. The survey files include the DATE information, and the positional information. In principle these files contain data about the user position. The app does not disclose these information to other parties, but the app user files are readable by other apps, because they are stored in the primary external memory. ANDROID PERMISSIONS BLUETOOTH Bluetooth is necessary to work with Bluetooth devices (DistoX, SAP5, BRIC4). STORAGE MANAGEMENT TopoDroid does not store the data files in the app private space, to prevent that they are deleted when the app is uninstalled. Storage management (reading and writing files without the user intervention) is required for the TopoDroid database and data files. TopoDroid may read geolocation data from point-list files of MobileTopographer. Other than these, TopoDroid access only the files in its folder. FINE LOCATION Location is optional. It is used only to take geographical coordinates of entrance stations. The app does not use location in background. CAMERA Camera is optional. The camera is used to take picture at survey legs or to read the direction of a shot pointing the Android camera to the target station. TopoDroid register the device orientation when it takes a picture. AUDIO RECORDING Audio recording is optional. Audio recording is used to record short voice memo at survey legs. INTERNET ACCESS Internet access is optional. Internet is necessary only to install translations of the user manual. The app does not require internet access otherwise.
