GPScope for iOS
Effective date: August 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GPScope ("GPScope," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the GPScope mobile application (the "App"). GPScope displays GPS and device-sensor readings and uses Microsoft Clarity to help us understand and improve the App experience.
GPScope does not require you to create an account. The App requests only the device access needed for its features. Some information remains on your device, while limited analytics information is transmitted to Microsoft Clarity as described below.
With your permission, the App accesses precise location readings such as latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, course, heading, and GPS accuracy to show them on the dashboard. GPScope does not store a location history or send precise latitude and longitude to our own servers.
On supported devices, the App accesses motion-sensor and barometer readings to display atmospheric pressure and relative altitude. These readings are processed for App functionality.
If you choose a custom background, the App receives only the photo you select through Apple's system photo picker. A resized copy is stored locally in the App's private storage. We do not upload the original photo file or its locally stored copy to our servers. A visual representation of screens where the photo appears may be processed by Clarity as described below.
Language, unit, appearance, coordinate-visibility, and background preferences are stored locally on your device so the App can remember your choices.
GPScope's core GPS and device-sensor features can operate without an internet connection. Precise coordinates, sensor readings, preferences, and selected background files are processed locally for these features. GPS availability and accuracy still depend on your device, surroundings, and satellite reception.
When an internet connection is available, limited analytics information may be transmitted to Microsoft Clarity as described in this Privacy Policy. The Clarity iOS SDK does not upload sessions that occur while the device is offline.
We use Microsoft Clarity for Mobile Apps to understand how people interact with GPScope, diagnose usability issues, and improve performance and design. Clarity begins operating when the App starts and may process:
According to Microsoft's App Store privacy guidance, this information is used for analytics, is not linked to your identity, and is not used for cross-app tracking. GPScope does not provide Clarity with a custom user ID. The App masks the precise latitude/longitude card and the custom background as displayed on the main dashboard. Other screens where a selected photo appears, and other information visible in the interface—such as altitude, speed, pressure, settings, and general interaction patterns—may be represented in Clarity's session reconstruction. The original selected photo file is not intentionally transmitted to Clarity.
Clarity sends analytics information to Microsoft when network conditions permit. For more information about Microsoft's handling of information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement and Clarity for Mobile Apps documentation.
We use information only to:
We do not sell your personal information and do not use App information for targeted advertising.
You can remove a custom background from GPScope Settings. Deleting the App removes its locally stored information from your device. To request deletion of information we control, contact us using the details below. Because Clarity analytics is not linked to an account or identity, we may need additional technical information and may not always be able to associate an analytics record with a particular person.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding personal information, or to lodge a complaint with a privacy regulator. Contact us to exercise an applicable right. We may need to verify your request and may retain limited information where required by law.
Microsoft may process Clarity information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, the parties responsible for processing rely on lawful transfer mechanisms and safeguards under applicable data-protection law. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for more information.
GPScope is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly request a child's name, contact details, or account information. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a support request, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect the information handled through GPScope. However, no device, storage system, or network transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to GPScope, third-party services, or legal requirements. We will post the updated policy at this location and revise the effective date above. If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide additional notice where required.
