Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 25, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Parking Space Finder. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app or access related web services.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or process any personal data such as your name, email address, or contact details. You are not required to create an account, and we do not gather any personally identifiable information.

3. Location Data Usage

We use your real-time location solely to help you find nearby parking spaces. We do not store, collect, or share your location data on our own servers. The data is processed in real time on your device to display parking spots and never transmitted to us.

4. Third-Party Services

We integrate the following third-party services to provide functionality:

• Google AdMob: Displays in-app advertisements and may collect non-personally identifiable data for ad targeting or analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy .
• Apple In-App Purchases: All transactions are processed securely through Apple's system. See Apple's Privacy Policy .
• Facebook iOS SDK (for Instagram Ads): We use the Facebook SDK to facilitate app install ads on Instagram. We have disabled Advertiser ID collection (IDFA) and auto-logged app events, and do not send personal data to Facebook. The SDK may collect technical data such as IP address or device type for analytics or security. See Facebook's Privacy Policy .

5. Security & Server Logs

We take reasonable measures to protect our servers and your data. When you visit our website or backend infrastructure, our systems may automatically log certain technical data (e.g., IP addresses, browser type, timestamp). These logs are used only for:

• Monitoring server performance
• Detecting and preventing malicious activity or DDoS attacks
• Ensuring overall service stability and security

IP addresses captured in these logs are considered personal data under some regulations (including the GDPR). We rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure service to collect and temporarily store this data. We do not correlate IP addresses in logs with any named individual or account, nor do we use them for marketing.

These logs are retained for a limited time and then automatically deleted or anonymized unless needed for security investigations. If you have questions about our security practices or wish to request specific log data deletion, please contact us.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. User Rights (GDPR)

Although we do not collect personal data within the app itself, IP addresses in server logs may be considered personal data under GDPR. If you are an EU resident and believe we process your personal data, you may contact us to request information or erasure. However, due to our minimal logging and rapid deletion policy, we may only hold IP logs for a short period.

For location data usage within the app, we do not store or transmit this data to our servers, so there is no personally identifiable location data for retrieval or deletion.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
