The short version
This Privacy Policy explains how the Pacevo application — published on Google Play as "Pacevo: Step Counter & GPS" ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") — handles information when you use it. By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Pacevo counts steps and tracks walking, running and cycling with GPS. It needs no sign-in and keeps your activity data on your device.
With the physical activity permission, the App counts your steps using your phone's step/activity sensor. Your step history, distance, calories and active time are stored on your device.
When you start a walk, run or ride, the App uses your device location/GPS to show your live route, distance and pace, and keeps tracking while the exercise is running (including with the screen locked). Location is used only for the exercise you start; your routes are kept on your device and are not uploaded.
Through the third-party SDKs below, the App processes standard mobile technical data (device model, OS version, language/country, app version, coarse IP-derived region, app-instance identifiers and the Google Advertising ID) for analytics, crash reporting, attribution and advertising.
The App shows ads. Ad partners may process your Advertising ID, coarse IP-derived location and ad-interaction events. See Third-party SDKs and Your rights & choices.

Because the App is ad-supported, the advertising and attribution partners named above necessarily receive the limited identifiers described in Section 4. Some laws (e.g. CCPA) may treat ad-related sharing as a "sale" or "sharing" — see Your rights & choices.
We share data only as described here, with Google (Play, Firebase, AdMob), Adjust (attribution) and Meta Platforms (ad measurement), plus authorities where required by law.
Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR or CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your data, and to opt out of personalized advertising.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
The App is directed to a general audience and is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and our advertising and analytics SDKs are not configured for child-directed treatment. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
The App is operated with infrastructure and partners that may process data in the United States, the European Union and other countries. Where data is transferred internationally, our partners rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
We rely on Android's application sandbox and scoped storage to isolate App data, and our SDK partners use HTTPS/TLS in transit. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, noted in the App or Google Play release notes. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
