QuakeSense Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 26, 2025

No sale of data On-device distance calc Public quake feeds only

1. Information We Collect

  • Location (optional): only if you grant permission; used to show nearby quakes and compute distance.
  • Device data: OS version and device model to improve reliability.
  • Usage data: radius, filters, language, and preferences stored locally.
  • Felt reports: saved on your device; not sent to any server.

2. How We Use Data

  • Show earthquakes near you and in selected regions.
  • Compute distance, risk indicators, and notifications you opt into.
  • Improve stability and troubleshoot crashes (if crash reporting is enabled).

3. Data Sources

We query public feeds only:

  • USGS Earthquake API
  • EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre)
  • GFZ/GEOFON
  • NCS India

No personal data is sent to these providers; only anonymous requests for quake data.

4. Sharing

We do not sell or share personal data. Location stays on-device for distance calculations. If crash reporting is enabled, limited diagnostics may be sent to the crash service provider.

5. Storage & Retention

  • Earthquake data cached locally for offline use; old cache is cleaned periodically.
  • Preferences remain on your device.
  • Felt reports are local; any future upload would ask for your permission.

6. Your Choices

  • Deny or revoke location at any time (you’ll still see global/country data).
  • Clear app data or uninstall to remove stored information.
  • Disable crash reporting in settings (if available in your build).

7. Security

We rely on standard platform protections for local storage. No sensitive personal identifiers are collected.
