Data processed

  • Compass, accelerometer, magnetometer, and orientation readings
  • Precise or approximate location for declination, trips, coordinates, and sky calculations
  • Trip points, segments, distance, duration, and locally assigned trip names
  • Live camera frames used only for the optional Sky Scanner preview
  • Settings, units, display preferences, and calibration state

Permissions and purpose

Precise or approximate locationCalculate true north, coordinates, sky positions, and trip distance.
Background locationContinue or restore a trip the user explicitly started while the app is not visible.
CameraShow an optional live Sky Scanner preview. The app does not capture or retain camera frames.
NotificationsDisplay trip status with Pause, Resume, and Stop actions.
Foreground location serviceContinue an active trip with a visible Android notification.
Start after rebootRestore a previously active, unpaused trip after device restart.

Storage and security

Settings, active trip state, trip points, segments, and history are stored in Android app-private storage. Camera frames are processed ephemerally and are not saved.

Maxxed Technical Systems applies reasonable safeguards appropriate to the current architecture, but no device or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Collection and sharing

The app does not transmit sensor, location, trip, or camera data off the device and does not share it with third parties.

Retention

Trip data remains until the user deletes a trip, deletes all local history, clears app data, or uninstalls the app.

Deletion

Delete individual trips or all trip history from the app's advanced tools. Android clear-storage and uninstall also remove app-private data, subject to Android backup settings.

Third-party services

No third-party advertising, analytics, account, or cloud-sync service is active in the current app.

Children

The app is a navigation utility and is not directed to children. Location features require device permission controlled by the device owner.

Policy changes

Material changes will be published on this page with a revised effective date. A production build will not deliberately enable a new remote data service without updating its disclosures.
