Effective date: November 12, 2026. This draft applies to package com.calcsphere.meteorscan. Before release, replace REPLACE_WITH_CONTACT_EMAIL with a monitored support email and host this page at a stable public URL.
What the app does
MeteorScan reads the phone's magnetic-field sensor to display field strength and changes locally on the device. The app itself does not send sensor readings or user files to a MeteorScan server and does not request location permission. The app cannot confirm that an object is a meteorite.
Advertising and service providers
The app uses Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) for banner and interstitial ads and Google's UMP SDK to manage privacy consent. When ads are requested, Google and associated advertising providers may process data such as advertising or device identifiers, IP address and network/device information, ad interactions, and service diagnostics/performance data used to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud. Data and ads can vary by consent choices, region, account settings, and Google's policies. See Google Privacy Policy and AdMob privacy guidance.
The app refreshes UMP consent information before initializing ad requests. When UMP requires a privacy-options entry point, it is available in app settings. You can update your choices there. Do not click live ads while testing; the Debug build uses Google test ad unit IDs.
Data retention
The app stores certain preferences locally, including sensitivity and sound/vibration choices, and a local flag to avoid repeatedly requesting an app review. This release does not operate a MeteorScan user database or account sign-in. Data processed by Google is subject to Google's and its providers' policies and retention practices.
Children
This app is not specifically designed for children. The publisher must select the appropriate target audience and ad settings for the intended distribution and applicable countries. If the intended audience changes, update this policy and the Play Console and AdMob settings before distribution.
Security, changes, and contact
Advertising services communicate over the network. This policy may change when the app or SDKs are updated; publish revised text at this URL with a new effective date. Privacy contact: nomad19800@outlook.fr
