Privacy Policy — PING Field
Here is the short, plain-spoken version of what data PING Field uses, why it needs it, and how you can delete everything from the app whenever you want.
This website (https://pingfield.uranashel.com) sets zero tracking cookies and runs zero analytics scripts.
1. Ground rules
- No phone number or social login: On first open, your phone generates a private device key for your account. No phone number, password, or social profile is asked for.
- Optional phone-transfer code: Inside Settings, you can create a one-time transfer code before switching phones. We only keep a one-way check hash of it, never the plain text.
- No data broker sales or ad profiling: We do not sell user data or share personal info for targeted advertising.
- Auto face & license plate blur: Answer photos can only be snapped via the in-app camera and have visible faces and license plates blurred before reaching the asker.
2. What data the app touches
| Data | When used | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Device key and app-integrity check | On launch and active requests | Keep your session tied to your phone and verify genuine builds via Apple App Attest or Google Play Integrity |
| Location while active or in Ready mode | When browsing nearby requests, picking a spot, arriving to shoot, or toggling Ready mode on | Show nearby questions, confirm you are on location, and warn you to pull over if you are moving |
| Questions and answer photos | When posting a question or capturing a photo answer | Block private-home or personal-tracking requests, check photo authenticity, blur faces/plates, and deliver the answer |
| Credit purchases and Earnings payouts | When buying Credits via App Store / Google Play or withdrawing Earnings | Verify store receipts, keep Credit and Earnings balances accurate, and pay out to your bank account under tax rules |
Close the app with Ready mode off and we stop collecting your location.
3. Platform services we connect to
- Store billing: Credit purchases run through Apple App Store or Google Play. We only verify the store receipt, never see your card number.
- Notifications: Request updates go through Apple Push Notification service (APNs) or Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
- Maps and places: Base map tiles and public place lookups use standard platform or proxied map services.
4. Deleting your account
You can erase your account straight inside the app: Me → Privacy & Data → Delete Account.
- Once open requests and withdrawable balances are settled, your questions, photos, and account details are removed.
- Payment receipts, tax records, and safety/fraud logs are kept only as long as accounting, tax, and safety laws require.
- You can turn off location, camera, or notification access in phone Settings at any time.
