Privacy Policy
takaz ("we", "us") sets out below how information about users is handled in the mobile application "Arrive Alarm" (the "App") that we provide.
Section 1. Information we collect and why
(1) Location
The App collects your device location (GPS and similar) in order to detect that you are approaching your destination and to alert you with an alarm. While alarm tracking is running, the App may collect location even when the App is in the background or the screen is off.
- Purpose: to calculate the distance from your current position to the destination you set, and to alert you with a notification and vibration when you come within the distance you set.
- Handling: location is processed only on your device. It is not transmitted to, or stored on, any server of ours.
- When you stop alarm tracking, the collection of location stops as well.
(2) Information stored on your device
The destinations you set, and the stops you save for reuse, are stored only on your device. This information is not transmitted to us or to any third party.
(3) Advertising
The App displays advertisements using Google's ad service "Google AdMob". AdMob may collect your advertising identifier (Advertising ID) and information about your use of the App in order to deliver and target advertising. Please refer to Google's privacy policy for how that information is handled.

The App uses Google Maps so that you can choose a destination. Google may collect certain information in connection with the use of maps.
