Effective Date: January 20, 2026

Last Updated: January 20, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to DestMate — a location-based travel alarm app (the App, the Service). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our Service.

By using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Data Controller

The Data Controller responsible for your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Tasnim Ur Rahaman Anas
Noob Apps
Trento, Italy
Email: support@noobapps.com

3. Information We Collect

We collect and process information to provide and improve our Service.

3.1 Information You Provide

When you contact us via email or support, we may collect your name, email address, and message content.

3.2 Information Automatically Collected

DestMate does not run a backend server. Alarm data stays on your device. When you use the App, certain information may be automatically collected by third-party services, including:

Device information (model, OS version, unique identifiers).
Ad identifiers (used for advertising personalization).

3.3 Location Data (Comprehensive Disclosure)

DestMate collects and uses precise location data, including background location, to provide the core alarm functionality. Location is used to:

Monitor your distance to the destination in real time.
Trigger alarms when you enter your configured destination radius.
Show distance and map context during an active alarm.

Location data is processed on-device for alarm decisions. Location is not sold and is not used to create advertising profiles. You can disable location access at any time in system settings, but alarms may not work without it.

3.4 Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services that may collect data according to their own privacy policies:

Google AdMob — for displaying ads.
OpenStreetMap — for map data and location services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

We process your personal data on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent: when you agree to personalized advertising or analytics.
Legitimate Interest: to improve app functionality and security.
Legal Obligation: to comply with applicable laws or requests from authorities.

5. Purpose of Data Processing

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

To provide and maintain the Service.
To improve and personalize user experience.
To monitor and analyze app usage.
To show relevant ads (if consented).
To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
To respond to support requests or feedback.

6. Data Retention

DestMate stores alarm settings locally on your device. We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, or as required by law.

Data collected by third-party providers (such as AdMob) are subject to their own retention policies.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data. However, we may share data:

With trusted third-party providers (e.g., Google) that assist in providing the Service.
If required by law, court order, or government request.
To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

All third parties are required to handle your data securely and in compliance with GDPR.

8. International Data Transfers

DestMate does not operate its own servers. If you use the free tier with ads, Google AdMob may process data on servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, Google relies on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms to protect your personal data.

9. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are in the European Union or EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data.
Right to Restrict Processing: Limit how we process your data.
Right to Data Portability: Obtain a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
Right to Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent.

To exercise your rights, contact us at support@noobapps.com. You also have the right to file a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority — in Italy, this is the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali (www.garanteprivacy.it).

10. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child has provided personal data, we will delete it immediately. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us at support@noobapps.com.

11. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

12. Links to Other Sites

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of these third-party sites.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with a new Effective Date. You are encouraged to review this Policy regularly for any changes.
