GeoDetectit Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-19
GeoDetectit is built with an offline-first and privacy-first approach. Our goal is to keep data collection minimal and give users clear control over their own information.
1. Who we are
GeoDetectit is operated by GeoDetectit Oy / Ab GeoDetectit Oy. If you have privacy-related questions, you can contact us at help@geodetectit.app.
2. What data we collect
We only collect the personal data needed to provide the service.
- email address
- basic account information needed for login and subscription access
- billing-related information handled through payment providers
- limited technical data needed for security, authentication and service operation
Your fieldwork data is intended to stay on your own device unless you explicitly choose to export, sync, upload or share it.
3. Why we process personal data
- to create and manage your account
- to provide subscription access
- to handle login, authentication and device access
- to provide support
- to meet legal and accounting obligations
4. Legal basis under GDPR
We process personal data on the following legal bases:
- performance of a contract, when we provide the service you signed up for
- legal obligation, when we must retain certain billing or accounting information
- legitimate interest, for essential service security and fraud prevention
- consent, where consent is specifically requested
5. Payments
Payments and billing may be handled by third-party payment providers. We do not store full payment card details on our own systems. Those providers process payment data under their own privacy terms.
6. Analytics
We may use analytics on the public website to understand traffic and improve the site. We aim to keep analytics limited and proportionate.
GeoDetectit is designed around the principle that field activity should not be unnecessarily tracked. Our goal is not to monitor users in the field.
7. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed to provide the service, manage subscriptions, meet legal obligations and resolve support issues.
8. Data sharing
We do not sell personal data. We only share data when necessary to operate the service, such as with authentication, hosting or payment providers, or when required by law.
9. Your rights under GDPR
You have the right to request:
- access to your personal data
- correction of inaccurate data
- deletion of your data, where legally possible
- restriction of processing in certain situations
- objection to certain processing
- data portability where applicable
To exercise your rights, contact help@geodetectit.app.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
11. International transfers
If service providers process data outside the EU/EEA, we aim to use appropriate safeguards in line with GDPR.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be published on this page.
