When you use our app, we and our third-party partners may collect information automatically, including:

Our app requests certain permissions to provide the best possible user experience. These include:

• Access Coarse Location – Allows the app to determine your approximate location to show relevant map areas and basic location-based features.
• Access Fine (precise) Location – Allows the app to determine your precise location, enabling accurate navigation and street view positioning.
• Access Network State – Lets the app check whether you have an active internet connection so it can load maps and related data efficiently.
• Access Wi-Fi State – Helps the app identify if your device is connected to Wi-Fi, allowing better data management and improved loading speeds.
• Post Notifications Permission – Allows the app to send you notifications such as feature updates, reminders, and service-related alerts.
• Advertising ID Permission (AD_ID) – Used to access your Google Advertising ID, which enables us to serve relevant ads and measure ad performance through services like Google AdMob.
• Billing Permission – Used to enable in-app purchases (e.g., ad-free version, premium features). No personal or payment information is collected by us; all transactions are processed securely through Google Play.
You may choose to deny any non-essential permissions in your device settings, though this may limit the functionality of certain features.
