Find Me — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026

This page describes what data the Find Me Android app (com.roeib.findme) collects, why it collects it, and how you can delete it. The app exists to let two people pair their phones, remotely ring each other if a phone is misplaced, and — when both people opt in — see each other's latest location on a map (shared about every 15 minutes, and when the partner taps Locate).

Who runs this app

The app is operated by the developer listed below. There is no company, no third-party data broker, and no advertising partner.

What we collect, and why

Data	Why	Where it lives
Your Google account email	To identify your account so we know which device to pair and which to ring.	Firebase Authentication (Google Cloud)
Your Google account display name	So your partner sees who paired with them.	Firebase Authentication and your pair document in Firestore
An app-generated pair code (8 random characters)	To match your two devices to one shared "pair".	Cloud Firestore
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push token	To deliver the "ring" and "locate" requests to your partner's phone.	Cloud Firestore
Your device's location (latitude, longitude, accuracy), battery level and movement state (speed / last-moved time) — only while "Let my partner locate me" is turned on	So your partner can see where your phone is on a map, whether it is moving, and whether its battery is about to die.	Cloud Firestore (only the latest fix is kept; auto-deleted within 24 hours)

Location — the details

Off by default. Your location is never collected unless you explicitly turn on "Let my partner locate me" in the app.
Only while sharing is on. With sharing enabled, your phone periodically publishes its latest position (roughly every 15 minutes, plus when your partner taps Locate) together with battery level and movement state, so your partner's map is up to date. Turn sharing off and publishing stops immediately.
You are notified. Your phone shows a notification each time it answers a locate request, and the app records when you were last located.
Short-lived. Only your latest position is stored (each update replaces the previous one) and it is automatically deleted within 24 hours. Turning sharing off, or unpairing, deletes it immediately.
Background permission. If you grant "Allow all the time" location access, your phone can answer a locate request while the app is closed. This is optional; locating still works while the app is open.
Map tiles. When you view a location, map imagery is fetched from the OpenStreetMap tile servers. Those servers therefore receive the map coordinates being viewed. See OpenStreetMap's privacy policy.

What we do NOT collect

No location data unless you explicitly opt in (see above) — and never from the partner who hasn't.
No location history or movement trail — only your single latest position is ever stored.
No contacts, photos, files, microphone, camera, or device sensors.
No advertising identifiers.
No analytics about how you use the app.

Sharing

Your data is processed by Google's Firebase platform on our behalf. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third party. Firebase's own privacy practices are described at firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

Data retention

Your account record and pair document remain in our database for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account (see below), your pair document is removed and your Firebase Authentication record is permanently deleted, usually within a few seconds. Firebase backups may retain a copy for up to 90 days before automatic deletion.

Shared locations are short-lived: only the latest position is kept, it is automatically deleted within 24 hours, is erased when you turn "Let my partner locate me" off, and is purged when a pair is unpaired.

How to delete your account

Open the Find Me app → tap the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner → Delete account → confirm. Your account and pair data are erased immediately.

If you no longer have the app installed and want your data deleted, email roei.berkovich@riverside.fm from the Google address you signed in with and we'll delete it within 14 days.

Children

The app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used the app, please contact us and we will delete their data.

Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS. Pair documents are protected by Firebase Authentication and Firestore security rules so that only the two devices in a given pair can read or write that pair's data.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes in any meaningful way, the "Last updated" date above will change and the new policy will be reflected on this page.
