PitchFall Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-11-10

This policy explains how devrives handles information when you use PitchFall, a slope level app for iOS (the "app"). PitchFall has no account and no server of its own, and it contains no separate analytics SDK (such as Google Analytics). Your readings and settings stay on your phone. The only outside service in the app is Google's ad service.

1. Purposes of Processing

Information is processed on your phone to measure slopes and angles, to keep your settings, calibration and saved readings, and to export readings when you choose to share them. It is also processed to show ads in the app.

2. Information Processed

PitchFall has no accounts and does not ask for your name, phone number or email address. The app does not send your readings, notes or settings anywhere by itself. They leave your phone only when you export them (item 4) or in a device backup you turn on (item 3).

1.Motion sensor: while the app is open on screen, it reads the phone's motion sensor to show the tilt. Sensor values are used on your phone only and are not stored, except in the readings you save.
2.Saved readings: for each reading you save, by hand or by auto save, the app stores on your phone the mode, the value as shown, the angle and slope, whether it was on target, the time and your note.
3.Device storage: your settings are stored on your phone: the last mode, the units, targets and tolerances, the calibration offsets, sound and auto save choices, the theme, the round level, the screen lock, the app language and whether you have seen the first tip. They are deleted from your phone when you delete the app. This information, and your saved readings, can be included in device backups you turn on (iCloud or a computer).
4.CSV export: only when you tap the share button in the Log, the app makes a CSV file of your saved readings (time, mode, value, angle, percent, target status and note) and passes it to the app or person you choose in the iOS share sheet. The app does not send the file anywhere itself. What happens to it next is under the policies of the app or recipient you chose.
5.Ads: the app shows ads through Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). This SDK collects your IP address (which may be used to estimate approximate location), device identifiers limited to the app or its developer, app interactions (such as app launch taps and video views), advertising data (such as ads you have seen), and performance and diagnostic data (such as app launch time, hang rate and crash logs), and sends them to Google for serving ads and improving ad performance, for analytics, and for diagnosing and improving the SDK. Google may also share performance data with other companies that show ads. The app does not ask for permission to track (App Tracking Transparency), so it does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA). We do not put your readings, notes, settings or sensor values into ad requests.

3. Device Permissions

PitchFall asks for no permissions. iOS lets an app read the motion sensor without a permission prompt; PitchFall reads it only while the app is open on screen. The app does not use location, the camera, the microphone, contacts or photos.

4. Location Information

PitchFall does not request or use your phone's location. Google AdMob may, however, estimate an approximate location from your IP address as described under "Ads" in section 2.

5. Retention and Deletion

Saved readings stay on your phone until you delete them in the Log or delete the app. The app deletes a reading made by auto save without a note the next time you open the app after the reading is 30 days old. Settings and calibration stay on your phone until you delete the app; you can reset the calibration in Settings. We do not receive this information, so we keep no copy of it. Ad data is kept by Google for the periods set in Google's privacy policy.

6. External Services and Transfers Abroad

When you use the app, personal information is transferred abroad for advertising as follows. Recipient: Google LLC (United States, [email protected]), and the ad partners Google works with, as listed in Google's consent form where it applies. Items: the data listed under "Ads" in section 2. When and how: sent over the network while you use the app (the consent check at launch, ad SDK start-up and ad requests). Purpose and retention: the purposes listed under "Ads" in section 2, for the periods set in Google's privacy policy. How to refuse: the app does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA). In the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, Google's consent form appears when you first open the app, and you can change your choice under Settings > Ad privacy choices or at the end of the Log. The app has no setting that turns ads off. We do not sell personal information or disclose it without a lawful basis.

7. Your Rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, suspension of processing, or withdrawal of consent where applicable. Because your readings and settings stay on your phone, you can delete them yourself: delete a reading in the Log, reset the calibration in Settings, or delete the app to remove everything from your phone. Where Google's consent form applies, you can change your ad choice under Settings > Ad privacy choices. You can send requests to the contact below. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.

8. Children's Privacy

PitchFall has no registration or age verification and is not directed at children. It does not intentionally collect personal information from children under 14. A legal guardian may contact us if deletion or another action is needed.

9. Security Measures

Readings, notes, settings and calibration are stored in the app's own storage on your phone, which other apps cannot read. The app has no server, so there is no copy of this information on our side.

10. Privacy Contact

For privacy requests, contact [email protected]. We will handle requests without undue delay under applicable law.

11. Changes

We will publish the revised policy and its effective date on this page and provide advance notice of material changes affecting user rights. Effective November 10, 2026.
