LocatAlert Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 July 2026

LocatAlert ("the app") is a location-based alarm app operated by Acefina LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains what data the app handles and how.

Data we collect

Account data — your name, email address and sign-in identifier when you create an account (email/password, Google or Apple sign-in). Guest sessions create an anonymous account with no personal details.
Places and alerts you create — the names, coordinates and radii of places you save and alerts you configure. These are stored in our database (Google Cloud Firestore, EU multi-region) so they sync with your account.
Push token — a device token used to deliver notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Your live location stays on your device

The app reads your device location while you use maps and, if you grant background location, while an armed location alarm is watching for arrival or departure. Distance checks run on your device against the places and radii you saved. Your live GPS stream is not uploaded, stored on our servers, sold, or shared with anyone.

If you approve a friend or family request, your device may write lightweight follow-through status for that request, such as when the request was last being tracked or when the geofence fired. It does not upload your continuous live location.

What we never do

We never sell your data.
We never share your data with data brokers or advertisers.
We do not track you across other apps or websites.

Third-party services

The app uses Google Firebase (authentication, database, Cloud Functions and push notifications), Google Maps (map display), and RevenueCat (subscription management). See Google's privacy policy and RevenueCat's privacy policy for those services.

Data retention and deletion

Your data is kept while your account exists. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete account inside the app, or see how to request deletion. Deletion is immediate and permanent.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/EEA under GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, export or erase your data. Contact us to exercise them.
