DM Mobile Location Help Center, Privacy Policy

Overview

DM Mobile Location ("the App") is developed by Dependent Media. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.

Information We Collect

Location Data

The App collects your device's geographic location (latitude and longitude) only when you explicitly choose to:

  • Tap on the map to set a location manually, or
  • Enable GPS mode to use your current location

Address Information

When you set a location, the App uses Apple's geocoding service to look up the street address corresponding to that location.

Information You Provide

  • Labels: Optional text descriptions you enter for your location (e.g., "Parked at Main & 5th")
  • API Credentials: Your website URL and API key, stored locally on your device

How We Use Your Information

Your location data is used solely to:

  • Display your position on the map within the App
  • Send your location to your own WordPress website when you tap "Update Location"
We do not:

  • Collect or store your location data on our servers
  • Share your location with any third parties
  • Use your location for advertising or tracking
  • Sell any of your personal information

Data Transmission

When you update your location, the following information is sent directly to the WordPress website URL you configured:

  • Latitude and longitude coordinates
  • Street address (if available)
  • Your custom label (if provided)

This data is transmitted using HTTPS encryption and is sent only to the server you specify.

Data Storage

Third-Party Services

The App uses the following Apple services:

  • Core Location: To access GPS when you enable GPS mode
  • CLGeocoder: To convert coordinates to street addresses

We do not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access: View what location you've sent to your website via WordPress admin
  • Delete: Remove your location data through your WordPress admin panel
