Privacy Policy

1. Information handled and purpose of use

Location information, including coordinates, accuracy, and retrieval time, is used to show your location and address, display maps, refresh the address, save places you choose, and record optional Trail history. The app does not request Always location permission or continuously track you in the background.

Saved addresses, coordinates, dates and times, notes, selected photos, Trail history, and settings such as language and display preferences are used to provide features and restore your previous state when you next use the app. Photos selected through the system photo picker are copied into the app; originals are not changed.

The contact form handles your name, email address, inquiry text, IP address, user agent, etc. We will use your information to respond to inquiries, investigate defects, prevent unauthorized use, and contact you as necessary.

2. Internal storage and backup

My spots, memos, and footprints are saved in the device's database, attached photos are saved in the app's exclusive area, and settings and previous locations are saved in the device's settings area. Currently, there is no function to register an account or automatically send location history, photos, and notes to MoaiStudio's own server.

Depending on the OS backup/inter-device transfer settings, this data may be saved or transferred to services such as Apple or Google. Execution conditions and storage location depend on device settings and regulations of each provider.

Manual backup files include photos, notes, locations, etc. Please save and share carefully as the file will be exported to the storage location selected by the user. Don't rely solely on in-app encryption processing, and choose a storage location that won't be viewed by third parties.

3. Sending to external services

Google Maps SDK is used for map display. IP addresses, information about devices and apps, map ranges to display, location-related information necessary to use map functions, etc. may be sent to Google. The purpose is to provide maps and maintain quality, and handling is in accordance with Google's policies.

Standard iOS/Android services are used for address searches. Information necessary for address searches, such as latitude and longitude and address display language, may be sent to the OS provider or its address search service provider.

When you open Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc., the coordinates of the target point are passed to that service. If you choose cloud storage to store your backups, the terms of the provider you choose will also apply. Please check each policy for the processing and storage location of each provider.

4. Information regarding advertising, analysis, and purchasing

This app and this introduction page use tools for advertising distribution and behavior analysis. Advertising identifiers, identification information such as cookies, IP addresses, information about terminals, OS, browsers, browsing/operation history, etc. may be sent to advertising distribution companies and analysis service providers in order to display and measure advertising effectiveness, understand usage status, improve functionality and usability, and investigate defects.

Advertising and analytics settings can be managed through OS privacy settings or browser cookie settings. We obtain consent where required by law or platform rules. Premium removes in-app ads; ad removal does not itself stop analytics used to improve the service.

Payment for paid plans is made through the App Store or Google Play. Information such as purchased products, transaction identifiers, date and time of purchase, expiration date, purchase status, etc. will be used to provide paid functions, confirm purchase status, restore purchases, and respond to inquiries. Payment information such as credit card numbers is managed by each store and is not acquired by our company. Please check Apple or Google's privacy policy for information handling by each store.

5. Cookies and access information for this site

This site and contact form may use cookies for session management and prevention of unauthorized transmission. If you disable cookies in your browser, forms may not function properly.

Web servers may record IP addresses, access dates and times, URLs, browser information, etc. in logs, which are used for site operation, troubleshooting, and ensuring security.

6. Storage period, safety management, third party provision

Data saved on the device will be retained until deleted by the user or deleted by the OS, etc. When the set number of footprints is exceeded, the oldest ones are deleted, and when the footprints are turned off, they are deleted. Information held by our business, such as inquiries, will be deleted or rendered in a form that cannot identify individuals when it is no longer needed, taking into account the response and legally required period.

Our company will take necessary and appropriate security control measures, such as restricting access to personal information it holds. We will not provide held personal data to third parties unless we have the consent of the individual or as required by law. If it is necessary to outsource work, we will limit it to the necessary scope and appropriately supervise the subcontractor.

7. Your controls and privacy requests

Location information permission can be changed in OS settings. My spots and attached photos can be deleted from within the app. Even after deletion due to uninstallation, it may be restored from the OS backup, so please delete the exported files and OS backup separately at the storage location.

Regarding notification of the purpose of use, disclosure, correction, suspension of use, deletion, etc. of personal information held by this company, we will respond in accordance with laws and regulations after confirming the identity of the person at the inquiry desk. Our company cannot remotely view or delete data on your device.

8. Changes and inquiries

If there are any changes to the information we handle or the purpose of use, we will notify you on this page, etc., and if required by law, we will obtain your consent in advance. We will notify you of any material changes in advance in an appropriate manner. The company handling personal information is MoaiStudio below. For any questions or requests, please contact us using the contact form.
