🔒 Privacy at a Glance
Police Scanner Live needs no account and never asks for your name, email or phone number. Your favorites are saved on your device. To play a feed, the app connects to feed directory and audio streaming servers, and it shows ads through Google AdMob. These services process some device data as described below.
Who We Are
Police Scanner Live is developed and published by DevLastStudio ("we", "us"). We are responsible for this app and this policy. You can reach us at any time at contact@devlaststudio.com.
What We Don't Collect
We do not run our own user accounts, analytics or crash reporting. The app does not ask for or access:
- Your name, email address, phone number or any other contact details
- Your precise (GPS) location
- Your contacts, photos, files, camera or microphone
- Your payment details – the app has no purchases
Data Stored on Your Device
The following is stored locally on your device and is not sent to us:
- Your favorite feeds
- A cached list of feeds, so the app can load faster
- Small app counters, such as how many feeds you have opened since the last full-screen ad, and when the app first opened and last asked for a review
Uninstalling the app or clearing its app data deletes this information.
Feeds and Audio Streaming
Police Scanner Live does not produce or record the audio you hear. To show the feed list, the app requests it from an online feed directory, including any search text you enter there. To play a feed, it connects to third-party audio streaming servers.
Like any website, these servers receive your IP address and basic request information, including which feed or search was requested. They are not operated under this policy and may keep logs under their own policies.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app is free and shows banner and full-screen ads provided by Google AdMob. To show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect and process:
- Your device's advertising ID
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Device and app information such as model, operating system, language and app version
- Ad interactions, such as ads shown and clicks
Google acts as an independent controller for this data. Learn more in Google's policies:
Your Advertising Choices
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads, in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads). You can also manage ad personalization in your Google account.
Ratings and Reviews
After you have used the app for a while, it may ask Google Play or the App Store to show a rating prompt. The prompt is provided by the store under its own privacy policy. We do not receive your rating through the app, and we cannot see whether you rated it. The rating button in the app opens the app's store page.
Device Permissions
On Android the app uses only these permissions:
- Internet and network state – to load feeds, play audio and load ads
- Foreground service and wake lock – to keep audio playing while the screen is off or the app is in the background
- Advertising ID and ad services permissions – added by the Google Mobile Ads SDK
Data Retention and Deletion
We do not keep personal data about you on our own servers, so there is no account to delete. Local app data is removed when you uninstall the app. To delete advertising data held by Google, use your Google account and device ad settings. If you have any request, email us and we will help.
Children's Privacy
Police Scanner Live is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the Turkish KVKK or US state laws such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at the address below; you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Security
The app uses encrypted HTTPS connections where the server supports them. Some third-party audio streams may use unencrypted connections, because this depends on the stream provider.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
