Live Earth Map - World Map 3D

"List of Installed App: When you install our App, we may collect information from your device, that may include a list of your installed Apps. Call log and Contacts: As part of our dialer feature which is provided to certain Apps of ours, you will be required to provide us permissions to your call log and contacts. Bluetooth and Network: We may collect through your Bluetooth and network permissions list of devices and networks your device "see" and connection history of your device. Health Data: Our Apps may access and process certain health related data."

A map/earth viewing app requests access to an extraordinary range of device data — installed apps, call logs, contacts, Bluetooth/network device lists, calendar, health data, microphone, and photos — far beyond what core map functionality requires.

"Certain features may require access to your GPS location permissions. In addition, in certain features we will use your "Access Fine Location" permission in the background while you are using the App so that we are able to locate the wifi networks and connection to provide the Services. Please note that this information can run in the background of your mobile device, and show you an applicable list of WIFI networks."

The app uses fine/precise GPS location in the background, ostensibly to show WiFi networks — a questionable justification for continuous background location access in a map viewing app.

"Advertisers: AdMob, AdColony, Applovin, Chocolate Platform, Facebook Audience Network, Index Exchange, Media.net, Mobfox, OpenX, PubMatic, Rubicon, Sharethrough, Yieldmo. And as may be updated from time to time (collectively "Advertisers"). The Advertisers are advertising Service Providers. Their targeted advertising SDKs collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites and online services in order to provide you with relevant advertisements."

The app embeds at least 13 advertising SDKs that directly collect user data from the device, creating extensive data sharing with third-party ad networks for behavioral targeting.

"Their targeted advertising SDKs collect information about your browsing activity across multiple websites and online services in order to provide you with relevant advertisements on the App and Services of third parties. The information collected using these advertising SDK does not disclose your identity, and helps us analyze the effectiveness of our advertising."

The embedded advertising SDKs explicitly track user activity across multiple websites and online services, enabling cross-service behavioral profiling for ad targeting.

"We reserve the right to amend this Policy from time to time, at our sole discretion. The most recent version of the Policy will always be posted on the website. Any amendments to the Policy will become effective within 30-days upon the display of the modified Policy. We recommend you review this Policy periodically to ensure that you understand our most updated privacy practices."

The company can change the privacy policy at any time at its sole discretion, with changes taking effect automatically after 30 days — continued use constitutes acceptance.

"In general, we retain the Personal Data we collect for as long as it remains necessary for the purposes set forth above, all under the applicable regulation, or until you express your preference to optout, where applicable. Other circumstances in which we will retain your Personal Information for longer periods of time include: (i) where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements, or (ii) for us to have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or (iii) if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your Personal Data."

No specific deletion timeline is provided — data is kept indefinitely for vague purposes like potential litigation, and the company reserves the right to delete data at any time without notice, but not to delete it on any schedule.
