Privacy Policy for Movetain

Effective Date: May 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how the Movetain mobile application ("we", "our", or "us") handles personal data and information. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. Movetain is designed as a local-first application, meaning your data stays strictly under your control.

1. Information We Collect and Process

• Location Data (GPS): Movetain requires access to your device’s location (GPS coordinates, speed, altitude) to record your hiking and travel tracks, and to display your real-time position on the map. This location data is processed in the background (via a foreground service) while recording a track, even if the screen is locked or the app is minimized.
• Sensors: The app accesses your device's built-in sensors (like the pressure sensor/barometer) to measure altitude and atmospheric changes.

2. How We Store Your Data

• Strictly Local Storage: All recorded tracks, waypoints, coordinates, and statistics are stored locally on your device (in the app's secure sandbox directory).
• No Cloud Storage & Accounts: We do not require account creation, and we do not run external databases. Your hiking routes are never uploaded to our servers.

3. Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or distribute your location data, routes, or any personal information to third parties, advertising agencies, or government entities. All data remains exclusively on your device.

4. Permissions Used

To function properly, the app requests the following Android permissions:

• ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: To get precise GPS coordinates.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION: To ensure continuous route recording when the screen is turned off.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: To display the track recording status in your device notification panel.

5. Your Rights and Data Erasure

Since all data is stored locally, you can delete all your recorded tracks at any time directly through the app's history screen or by clearing the app cache/uninstalling the application.

6. 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 policy on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
