Location Assist Service: Privacy policy

Location Assist Service is an Android application (the App) written by Vadim Rokhlenko. The App is available on Google Play.

I hereby state, to the best of my knowledge and belief, that the App does not collect or disseminate any personal information. The only data the App utilizes is the GPS locations (time stamp, latitude, longitude and altitude) of the device it is running on. The above locations can indeed be saved on the device for the purpose of calculating and displaying certain statistics or images but they are stored in the private to the App memory inaccessible to any other application. The user can delete stored information at any point using the App's functionality. The user also can share stored information with a third party via facilities offered by the device such as e-mail or various messengers if he or she so desires but this requires an explicit action by the user and is completely optional. In case the user uninstalls the application all stored information is erased.
