Privacy Policy
DIRTGPS PTY LTD ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have when you use the DirtGPS mobile application ("App") and website ("Site").
1. Information We Collect
Location Data. The App collects your precise GPS location to provide real-time navigation, track recording, and waypoint placement. Location is collected in the foreground and, when track recording is active, in the background. We do not transmit your location to our servers — all location data is stored locally on your device.
Contact Information. We collect your email address only if you contact us directly via the Site. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
User-Generated Content. Tracks, waypoints, notes, and folder data you create are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data does not leave your device unless you explicitly choose to export or share it (e.g., via GPX export).
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and improve the navigation and mapping features of the App
- To manage customer relationships and provide support
- To understand general usage patterns and improve the App and Site experience
3. Data Storage and Security
All navigation data (tracks, waypoints, folders) is stored entirely on your device. We do not operate servers that store your personal navigation history. Subscriptions are managed entirely through Apple's App Store — we do not collect or store payment information.
4. Third-Party Services
Mapbox. The App uses Mapbox Maps SDK to render maps. Mapbox may collect telemetry data subject to their own privacy policy. Please review Mapbox's privacy policy at mapbox.com/legal/privacy.
Apple. The App uses Apple's CoreLocation, StoreKit, and other Apple system frameworks. Subscription billing is handled entirely by Apple. Apple's data practices are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy at apple.com/privacy.
Google Analytics. Our website uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, referral sources, and general visitor demographics. This data helps us improve the Site. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
We do not integrate advertising networks or sell your data to any third parties.
5. Location Permissions
The App requests the following location permissions:
- When In Use: Required for real-time navigation and waypoint placement while the App is open.
- Always (Background Location): Requested to allow track recording to continue when the App is in the background.
You can revoke location permissions at any time in your device's Settings. Revoking location access will disable navigation and track recording features.
6. Children's Privacy
DirtGPS is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. To exercise these rights or make a data-related request, contact us at the address below.
Subscription Management. Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID. To cancel or modify your subscription, go to Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
