PRIVACY POLICY FOR MOBILE APPLICATION "SOLAR TILT"
This Privacy Policy governs your use of the software application Solar Tilt (the "Application") for Android mobile devices.
Solar Tilt is a mobile Android application designed to help users calculate a recommended solar panel tilt and direction, and to provide live on-device guidance for aligning a panel.
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?
User-provided information
The Application does not require user registration and does not require you to create an account.
You may provide location-related information directly in the Application, such as latitude and longitude entered manually. This information is used only to calculate solar recommendations and is processed locally on your device by the Application.
Device location
If you choose to use the current-location feature, the Application may request permission to access your device location. That access is used only to determine your current coordinates so the Application can calculate solar recommendations for your location.
The Application does not operate its own backend for location storage and does not send your location to a first-party server controlled by the Application publisher.
Sensor and orientation data
When you use live panel-setting guidance, the Application accesses on-device orientation and motion-related sensor data available through Android in order to estimate the phone's tilt and heading. This data is used in real time to provide visual guidance inside the Application.
This sensor data is processed locally on your device by the Application and is not stored on a first-party remote server by the Application publisher.
Automatically collected information and advertising
The Application itself does not use first-party analytics and does not maintain a first-party user-tracking backend. However, the Application uses third-party Google services for advertising and privacy consent.
Specifically, the Application uses:
- Google AdMob to display banner advertisements.
- Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage consent and privacy choices where required.
These third-party services may process device, advertising, consent, network, and similar technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal obligations. Such processing is not the same as first-party collection by the Application publisher.

Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application?
The Application publisher does not provide a first-party backend that receives your manually entered coordinates, live orientation measurements, or solar recommendations.
However, Google services integrated into the Application for advertising and consent management may receive or process certain information according to Google's own documentation and privacy terms.
What are my choices and opt-out rights?
- You can choose manual coordinate entry instead of granting location permission.
- You can deny or revoke location permission using your Android system settings.
- You can use the in-app Privacy choices option, when shown, to review consent options made available through Google UMP.
- You can stop using the Application at any time and remove local app data by clearing app storage or uninstalling the Application.
Data retention policy, managing your information
First-party data used by the Application is processed locally on your device. The Application publisher does not maintain a first-party online account database or first-party cloud storage for your app usage.
If you want to remove locally stored Application data, you can do so by clearing the app's data or by uninstalling the Application from your device.
Any retention, consent, advertising, or related processing performed by Google services is governed by Google's own policies and systems.
Security
We are concerned about safeguarding information processed locally on your mobile device. The Application relies on Android platform security and the Application's private app storage where applicable.
Please be aware that no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. You should keep your device and Android operating system up to date and install Application updates when available.
Children
The Application is not directed to children under the age at which parental consent is required under applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to the Application publisher, please use the contact details below.
Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes become effective when they are posted on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
Your consent
By using the Application, you consent to the processing described in this Privacy Policy, including local on-device processing by the Application and third-party processing by Google services used for advertising and consent management where applicable.
