Back Seat Navigator Android Privacy Policy

 

Last updated: June 20, 2022

Back Seat Navigator does not collect or store personally identifying information. When you first install and launch the app, you will be asked to allow Back Seat Navigator to access your location while using the app and while the app is in the background.  This is so navigation instructions can occur, even if the app is closed. Clicking the “Allow” button enables the app to send your latitude and longitude coordinates to the Mapbox servers each time a user searches for an address or the navigation functionality has begun.  None of the information sent to the Mapbox servers is personally identifiable.

On Android 10.0 and later devices, you need to click “Allow all the time” for the app to work properly, even when closed. Clicking “Allow only while using the app” will allow the app to use your location, but it won’t work properly when it’s closed.

The ads displayed in the app may transmit ad clicks and page views. This information helps the app make money and allows Night Cat Productions LLC to offer the app for free. The information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify Back Seat Navigator users. 

What The Forecast?!! conforms to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you live in the European Union (EU), you will be presented with an automatic in-app option to opt out of interest based ads.

What The Forecast?!! conforms to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you are a California resident and would like to "Opt out of Interest-Based Ads,” you can do so in the device Settings app.  Here is how you do it:

On Android 6.0 or higher:

  1. Open the device Settings app.

  2. Search for "Google Services & Preferences" and tap on it.

  3. Tap on the “Ads” option.

  4. Toggle the “Opt out of Ads Personalization” switch to ON.

Android 5.1 or lower:

  1. Open the device Settings app.

  2. Tap on "Accounts."

  3. Tap on "Google."

  4. Tap on "Manage your Google Account" (This will open up a new page with your Account information).

  5. Tap on "Data & Personalization."

  6. Scroll down to "Ad Personalization."

  7. Tap on "Go to Ad settings."

  8. Toggle the "Ad Personalization" switch to OFF.

When you have opted out of interest based ads using the settings on a device, AppLovin and its partners will not use in-app information collected from that device to infer your interests or serve ads to that device that are targeted based on your inferred interests. Please note that while opting out limits the collection of information to serve you ads based on your inferred interests, it does not prevent you from receiving ads from AppLovin or third parties. For further information, please review AppLovin’s Privacy Policy.

Finally, Back Seat Navigator uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect information on app crashes and Facebook Analytics to collect statistics on app usage. Facebook Analytics helps Night Cat Productions LLC create Facebook ads that promote the app. This data for both services is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify users.
