Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

GhostWalker App

GhostWalker does not collect any personally identifiable information. The app operates entirely on your device. Location data you input or mock is never transmitted to our servers.

We may collect anonymous, aggregated analytics data (such as crash reports) through standard platform tools (e.g., Google Play) to improve app stability.

MockGPS.com (Website)

When you visit our website, we use standard, privacy-first analytics tools (Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics) to understand website traffic. We use Google Consent Mode v2, which means we do not write or read any tracking cookies unless you explicitly click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you decline, we only collect anonymous, cookieless pings that cannot be tied to your personal identity.

2. How We Use Information

Any data processed by GhostWalker — including saved routes, favorite locations, and app preferences — is stored locally on your device using Android's secure storage mechanisms. We do not sell, share, or transmit this data.

3. Location Permissions

GhostWalker requires the MOCK_LOCATION permission to function as a GPS spoofing tool. This permission is used solely to simulate GPS coordinates on your device. We do not access your real GPS location for any purpose other than providing a reference point when requested by you.

4. Third-Party Services

GhostWalker may use the following third-party services:

• Google Maps SDK — for map rendering. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Play Billing — for in-app purchases. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdMob — for displaying ads in the free version. AdMob may collect advertising identifiers in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Children's Privacy

GhostWalker is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Data Security

All user data (routes, favorites, settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data and cannot retrieve it remotely.

7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to request access to or deletion of their personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.

We do not sell or share your personal information. For website analytics, you may fully opt-out of all tracking by clicking "Decline" on our cookie banner or using the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our footer to reset your preferences.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the app or website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. The 'Last updated' date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
