Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Speedometer by Into Hash ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Speedometer application and related services.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the application.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Precise Location Data

Our Speedometer application's core functionality relies on precise location data. We collect:

• GPS Coordinates: To calculate your current speed, heading, and altitude.
• Route Information: When you choose to record a trip, we collect a continuous stream of location data to map your route.
• Background Location: If you start recording a route and switch to another app or turn off your screen, we continue to collect location data in the background to ensure your trip is recorded accurately.

2.2 Account Information

An account is optional. If you choose to create one to use our cloud features, we collect:

• Name
• Email Address
• Profile Picture

This information is obtained through Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, or the email address you sign in with (see Section 3). Your account is identified internally by a random user ID.

2.3 Usage Data & Device Information

We automatically collect certain information when you use our Speedometer application, including:

• Device model, operating system, app version, language, and country
• Usage events (for example, app opened, settings changed, paywall viewed, ad shown) linked to a random device ID and, if you are signed in, your random user ID — never your name or email address
• Approximate location (country and city) that our analytics providers derive from your IP address
• Crash reports and error diagnostics
• Advertising identifiers (Google Advertising ID on Android, Apple's IDFA on iOS) and ad-interaction data — collected by our ad provider when ads are requested and shown, subject to your consent and device settings (see Section 7)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, usage events are only sent to our analytics providers after you give consent (see Section 7.2).

2.4 Purchases

Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never receive your card or payment details. We receive your purchase history and subscription status (product, dates, renewal state) through RevenueCat, linked to a random ID or your user ID. To stop one subscription being shared across many accounts, we also store the email address of the account a subscription is linked to.

2.5 Feedback You Send Us

If you send feedback or an app idea from the app, we receive your message, the contact email you choose to give (optional), your user ID if signed in, and your app version and platform.

3. Authentication and Social Logins

We offer the ability to register and log in using your existing social media or network accounts, specifically:

• Google Sign-In
• Sign in with Apple

If you choose to use these services, we will access basic information from your profile, such as your name, email address, and profile picture, in accordance with your settings on those platforms. We use this information to:

• Create and authenticate your account.
• Personalize your user experience.
• Facilitate the synchronization of your data.

4. Data Synchronization and Cloud Storage

One of the premium features available to logged-in users is Route Synchronization.

When you are logged in, the routes you record (including speed, distance, duration, and path coordinates) are automatically uploaded and synced to our secure database. This allows you to:

• Access your trip history from multiple devices.
• Backup your data to prevent loss if you change or lose your device.

This data is linked to your account. If you log out, you will not see your synced history until you log back in.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• Providing Service: Calculating real-time speed and mapping your route.
• User Account Management: Managing your registration and authentication.
• Data Persistence: Saving your recorded routes to the cloud (for logged-in users).
• Improvement: Analyzing usage to fix bugs and improve app performance.
• Subscriptions: Unlocking Pro features, restoring purchases, and preventing subscription misuse.
• Advertising: Showing an ad when you open the app and optional rewarded ads that let you temporarily unlock premium features without subscribing (see Section 7).
• Communication: Sending you important administrative or security notices.

6. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal location data or account information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With third-party vendors who process data on our behalf: Supabase (account and route database hosting), Google Firebase Analytics and Amplitude (product analytics and feature settings), Sentry (crash and error reporting), and RevenueCat (subscription management). Authentication is provided by Google, Apple, and Supabase. These providers receive only the data they need, identified by random IDs; we do not send your name or email address to our analytics providers.
• Advertising Partners: With Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK) to serve, measure, and — where permitted — personalize the ads described in Section 7.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect our rights.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or asset transfer.

7. Advertising and Third-Party Ad Networks

The free version of Speedometer shows two kinds of ads:

• App open ads: a full-screen ad that may appear when you open the app, starting from your second launch (never during your first session). You can close it and continue to the app.
• Optional rewarded ads: you may choose to watch a short video ad to unlock a specific Pro feature for a limited time without subscribing.

The app does not show banner ads, and subscribers to Speedometer Pro do not see ads.

7.1 Ad Provider

These ads are delivered through Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). When an ad is requested and shown, Google and its advertising partners may collect and process:

• Advertising identifiers (Google Advertising ID on Android, Apple's Identifier for Advertisers / IDFA on iOS)
• IP address and coarse, non-precise location derived from it
• Device and operating-system information
• Ad-interaction data (which ads were served, viewed, or clicked, and whether a reward was earned)

Google uses this information to serve, cap, and measure ads, to detect fraud and abuse, and — where permitted — to personalize ads. The app itself does not read or store your advertising identifier; it is processed by Google as an independent controller. To learn how Google uses this data, see the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

7.2 Consent (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

If you are located in a region that requires it (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland), we present a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), a Google-certified Consent Management Platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Your choices in that form determine whether you are shown personalized or non-personalized ads, and we do not request ads until consent has been resolved.

The form is shown when the app opens (from your second launch, before any app open ad) or when you choose to watch a rewarded ad, whichever comes first. In these regions your choice also decides whether usage events are sent to our analytics providers (Firebase Analytics and Amplitude): if you decline, they are not sent.

7.3 App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS, the same flow presents Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, which asks whether we may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to show you more relevant ads and measure their performance.

You may decline. If you do, Google does not receive your IDFA and you are shown non-personalized ads instead — every feature of the app remains fully available either way. You can change this choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking on your device.

7.4 Withdrawing or Changing Your Consent

If you have given consent for ads, you can change or withdraw it at any time from inside the app:

This reopens the consent form so you can review your choices, change individual purposes, or withdraw consent entirely. Withdrawing consent does not restrict your access to any part of the app. This option appears only for users in regions where a privacy choice applies.

7.5 Your Device-Level Choices

You can limit ad personalization or reset your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings:

• Android: Settings → Google → Ads (reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization).
• iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking, and Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising. On iOS, personalized ads also depend on your App Tracking Transparency choice.

Ads can be turned off remotely. When they are disabled, the Google Mobile Ads SDK is not initialized and no ad-related data is collected.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information and synced routes as long as your account is active. Analytics and crash data are kept by our providers for a limited period under their retention settings.

Deleting Your Data

You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. To do so, please contact us at contact@intohash.online with the subject line "Account Deletion Request".

Upon deletion, your account information and all synced route data will be permanently removed from our active databases. If a subscription was linked to your account, we may keep a minimal record of that link (the email address and purchase reference) to prevent subscription misuse and to meet legal and accounting obligations. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription — cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account.

9. Your Privacy Rights

9.1 EEA, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR)

We process your data on these legal bases: performance of a contract (providing the speedometer, your account, route sync, and subscriptions); consent (personalized ads and analytics, which you can withdraw at any time in Settings → Ad privacy options); and legitimate interests (crash reporting, security, and fraud prevention).

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. Our service providers may process data outside your country; where they do, they rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

9.2 California and Other US States

We collect the categories of information described in Section 2 (identifiers, geolocation, commercial information, internet or app activity, and inferences used for ads) for the purposes in Section 5. We do not sell your personal information for money. Showing personalized ads through Google AdMob may count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. You can opt out by declining tracking on iOS, turning off ad personalization in your Android settings (Section 7.5), or using Settings → Ad privacy options where it is shown.

You have the right to know, access, correct, and delete your personal information, and to opt out of sharing, without being treated differently for using these rights.

9.3 How to Use Your Rights

Email contact@intohash.online. We may ask you to confirm your identity (for example, by replying from the email address on your account) and will respond within the time required by law.

10. Children's Privacy

Our Speedometer application is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will take steps to delete the information immediately.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this policy periodically.
