Privacy Policy for GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick

Effective date: August 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) accesses, uses, processes, and shares information when you use the App.

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick is a location simulation utility that provides features such as mock location controls, route simulation, joystick-based location movement, saved locations, and related GPS simulation tools.

By using GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect and Process

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick does not require users to create an account, provide a name, email address, phone number, or other profile information in order to use the App.

However, certain information may be processed by the App and by third-party services used to provide functionality, advertising, security, analytics, and performance monitoring.

Precise Location

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may access your device's precise location when location-related functionality is used.

Precise location may be used for purposes such as:

  • displaying your current location on the map;
  • selecting a starting point for route simulation;
  • calculating routes;
  • providing location-related app functionality.

When route calculation is requested, coordinates associated with the route request may be transmitted from the App to our routing infrastructure and then to a third-party routing provider in order to calculate the requested route.

This information is used for app functionality.

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick does not provide a social location-sharing feature and does not intentionally share your live location with other users of the App.

Route Calculation

When you request a route, GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may send geographic coordinates required for the route calculation to a Cloudflare Worker operated as part of our routing infrastructure.

The Cloudflare Worker may forward the necessary route coordinates to openrouteservice or another configured routing service so that the route can be calculated.

The resulting route information is then returned to the App.

We do not intentionally use route coordinates to create personal profiles, identify users, or market products to users.

Information processed by infrastructure providers may also be subject to their own technical logging, security, and data-retention practices.

2. Advertising

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may display advertisements using Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK.

Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect or process certain information in connection with advertising, analytics, ad measurement, fraud prevention, security, and compliance.

Depending on the device, configuration, user consent, region, and Google services available, this information may include:

  • device or other identifiers;
  • advertising identifiers;
  • IP address;
  • approximate location inferred from an IP address;
  • interactions with advertisements and app content;
  • advertising data;
  • diagnostic information;
  • app and SDK performance information.

This information may be collected and shared with Google and its advertising-related services.

Google states that the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and share user product interactions, diagnostic information, IP addresses, and device/account identifiers for purposes including advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention.

3. App Interactions

Information about interactions with the App or advertisements may be processed by third-party advertising services.

This information may be used for:

  • analytics;

8. openrouteservice

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may use openrouteservice for route calculations.

When a route is requested, geographic coordinates required to calculate the route may be transmitted to the routing service.

The routing provider processes this information in order to generate route geometry, distance, duration, or related routing information.

The routing provider may process technical information according to its own privacy policy, terms, and server-logging practices.

9. Google Play Billing and Premium Subscriptions

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may offer optional Premium features through Google Play Billing.

Purchases and subscriptions are processed through Google Play.

We do not directly collect or store your full payment card information.

Google may process information related to purchases and subscriptions according to Google's own privacy policy and Google Play terms.

The App may receive information required to determine whether a purchase or Premium entitlement is valid, such as purchase status or entitlement information.

We use this information only to provide and manage Premium functionality.

10. Reviewer Access

GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick may contain a restricted reviewer-access mechanism used to allow authorized application-store reviewers to access Premium features without making a purchase.

This mechanism is intended only for review and testing purposes.

It does not require creation of a user account and is not intended to collect personal information.

  • phone numbers;
  • postal addresses;
  • passwords;
  • contacts;
  • photographs;
  • videos;
  • audio recordings;
  • health information;
  • financial account information;
  • government identification information.
