Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Live Street Launcher processes, why it is needed, where it goes, and the choices available to you.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the Live Street Launcher Android application (the “App”) provided by AppGrove (“we,” “us,” or “our”), including its launcher, maps, street-level imagery, public live-camera discovery, favorites, and journey history features.
The App does not require an account. We do not ask you to provide your name, postal address, phone number, or contacts.
2. Information processed by the App
Location
If you grant location permission, the App uses approximate or precise device location to center the map, show your position, and help discover nearby street-level imagery. Location access is optional. The App may send coordinates or a map area to map and imagery providers to return relevant content.
Activity and content choices
The App processes searches, map settings, favorite status, visited locations, selected cameras or street views, launcher visibility, launcher icon interactions, and viewing actions so features work and so we can understand product usage. Launcher analytics may include the target app package name, whether the target was this App, and the identifier of an App-provided launcher item.
Device, app, network, and diagnostic data
We and our service providers may process IP address, device and operating-system information, app version, language, installation identifiers, network request metadata, crash reports, performance data, and diagnostic logs. Public camera and imagery sources also receive ordinary network information when the App requests their content.
Advertising and attribution
The App uses Google Mobile Ads. Depending on your device settings, region, and consent choices, the advertising SDK may process IP address, app interactions, diagnostic data, Android advertising ID, App Set ID, and related identifiers to serve, measure, secure, limit, or personalize ads. Google Play Install Referrer data, such as campaign parameters and advertising click identifiers, may be used to determine whether an installation came from a paid campaign.
Local records
Search history, favorites, journey footprints, display settings, cached public-camera information, consent state, and the last valid advertising configuration may be stored on your device. Depending on Android and your device backup settings, some local application data may be included in an Android backup.
3. How we use information
- Provide the launcher, maps, nearby exploration, street imagery, live-camera playback, favorites, and history.
- Remember settings and maintain reliable offline or cached behavior.
- Measure feature usage, advertising performance, and installation attribution.
- Detect crashes, abuse, fraud, invalid ad traffic, and technical failures.
- Deliver configuration changes, notifications when enabled, and security updates.
- Comply with law, enforce applicable terms, and protect users and services.
We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising providers may process or share data for cross-context behavioral advertising where permitted and where your choices allow it.
4. Permissions and your choices
- Location: deny or revoke precise/approximate location at any time in Android Settings. Core browsing remains available, while nearby and “my location” functions may be limited.
- Advertising: where required, the App shows a consent message. If “Ad privacy choices” appears in App settings, you can reopen that form and change available choices. Android also lets you reset or delete the advertising ID.
- Local data: clear the App’s storage or uninstall it to remove locally stored searches, favorites, footprints, settings, and caches. Android-managed backups may persist according to your Google account and device settings.
- Notifications: use Android Settings to allow or disable notifications.
5. Service providers and external content
The App relies on providers that process information under their own terms and privacy policies:
- Google: Google Maps Platform, Street View, YouTube where selected, Google Play services, Google Mobile Ads and User Messaging Platform, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Cloud Messaging, and Play Install Referrer. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner apps.
- Mapillary / Meta: street-level imagery and related metadata. See Mapillary’s Privacy Policy.
- Public camera and media providers: video streams, pages, thumbnails, and availability metadata you choose to view. Their pages and media requests are governed by their respective policies.
- Cloudflare: delivery and protection of this privacy-policy page through Cloudflare R2. Cloudflare may process IP address and security/network metadata when you visit this page. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
Third-party imagery and public-camera content may show public places and people captured by those providers. We do not operate those cameras or control how the original imagery was collected.
6. Retention
Local App data remains until you remove it, clear App storage, or uninstall the App, subject to Android backup behavior. We retain operational records only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above. Google, Firebase, advertising providers, and external content providers retain information according to their own policies and account settings.
7. Security and international processing
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encrypted network connections where supported. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, subject to their legal safeguards.
8. Children
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in the relevant jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review the request.
9. Privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about processing and sharing. You may also withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. To exercise a right, contact us and describe the App, device platform, request, and country. We may need information to verify and complete the request.
10. Changes
We may update this policy when the App, service providers, or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised policy here and update the date above. Material changes may also be communicated in the App or store listing.
11. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact AppGrove using the developer contact shown on the App’s store listing. Please identify Live Street Launcher, describe your request, and include your country or region so we can respond appropriately.
