Privacy Policy
This page explains how Berlin Wall Explorer handles personal data, location data, and API requests.
Policy Overview
1) Location (GPS) Usage
The app requests GPS access to determine your approximate position in Berlin. This is used for side detection (East/West), nearby photo matching, and nearby point discovery.
2) Purposes of Processing
We process data to provide core app functions, improve stability, and localize your experience.
- Determine East/West side context based on map position.
- Show nearby photos, museums, memorials, landmarks, and viewpoints.
- Persist language and basic app preferences.
3) API Calls and Third Parties
Map position and request parameters are sent to remote APIs to fetch historical photos and points of interest. API responses are used to render in-app content.
4) Data Categories
The app limits collection to data needed for app operation.
- Approximate location (if location permission is granted).
- Language preference and basic app configuration.
- In-app request parameters and technical response metadata.
5) Retention and Security
We apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. Data is retained only as long as required for the relevant service purpose and legal obligations.
6) Your Rights and Controls
You can revoke location permission in your device settings anytime. Depending on your region, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to processing of your personal data.
7) Children's Privacy
The app is not directed to children under the minimum age required by local law. If you believe a child provided personal data, please contact us so we can review and remove it where applicable.
8) Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes are reflected on this page with a new effective date.
9) Contact
For privacy questions, contact the app publisher through official channels.
