Land Measure — Privacy Policy
NextOne Labs LLC — Android app com.nextonelabs.landmeasure — Effective date: November 14, 2026
Summary: Land Measure has no user accounts and no cloud sync. Your measurements, GPS points, photos, notes and settings are stored only on your device, and your location is never sent to NextOne Labs. Map tiles come from Google Maps, and place search and suggested measurement names use your phone’s address lookup service (Google on most phones). Crash reports and usage analytics (Google Firebase) are off unless you turn on “Share diagnostics” in Settings. The free version shows ads from our advertising partner Liftoff, including optional ads you can choose to watch to use a Pro tool or export once, with a consent choice where the law requires one. Buying Land Measure Pro removes ads; Google Play handles the payment.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
NextOne Labs LLC does not operate any server that receives your data from Land Measure, and the app has no sign-in. We do not collect:
- Names, email addresses, or contact information
- Your GPS location, measurement points, areas, tracks, names, notes or tags
- Your photos or files
- Payment card details (purchases are handled entirely by Google Play)
2. Data That Stays on Your Device
Land Measure stores the following data locally on your device only, in the app’s private storage:
- Measurements: the points of each area, distance or GPS track (latitude, longitude and, for GPS points, altitude, accuracy and time), with the name, notes, tags, project, units and calculated results you save.
- Projects, favorites, locked items and Trash. Deleted measurements stay in Trash for 30 days so you can restore them, then they are deleted automatically.
- Photos: when you add a photo to a measurement, you pick it with Android’s file or photo picker, and the app saves its own resized copy in private storage. The copy does not keep the original file’s metadata (such as an embedded GPS tag). The app does not use the camera and cannot see your other photos.
- Recording and drafts: while you record a GPS walk, the captured points are also written to a small recovery file so they survive if Android closes the app. Unsaved measurement drafts are kept the same way.
- Preferences: settings such as units, coordinate format, map type, theme, GPS accuracy threshold and your diagnostics choice.
Android backup. If Google backup is turned on for your device, Android may include Land Measure’s database, photos and settings in your device backup or in a device-to-device transfer, so they come back when you set up a new phone. The app only allows cloud backup when it can be end-to-end encrypted, and it excludes temporary exports and recording files. This backup is stored in your Google account under Google’s policies; NextOne Labs cannot access it.
3. Permissions
Land Measure asks for permissions when you use a feature that needs them. You can deny any permission and keep using map tapping, tracing, coordinate entry and your saved measurements.
- Location (precise and approximate): used to show where you are on the map, to record a GPS walk or track, and to average GPS fixes for a point. Your location is processed on your device and stored only in the app’s local database.
- Foreground service (location) and notifications: used only while you are recording a GPS walk, so recording continues when you switch apps or lock the screen. A notification is shown the whole time, with pause, resume and stop controls. Recording starts only when you tap Start. Land Measure does not request background location access.
- Internet and network state: used to load map tiles, look up places, show ads, process Google Play purchases, and, only if you turn on diagnostics, send crash reports and analytics. All connections use encryption (HTTPS).
Land Measure does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, or shared storage.
4. Third-Party Services
Land Measure uses the following services from Google and from Liftoff. Each one handles data under its own privacy terms:
- Google Maps SDK: loads map tiles when you view the map. Google may receive the map area being viewed, your IP address (from which approximate location can be inferred), device information, crash diagnostics, and a pseudonymous SDK identifier, to provide the map, keep it working and prevent abuse. Measuring with GPS or coordinates works without it. See the Maps SDK data disclosure.
- Android address lookup (Geocoder): when you search for a place on the map, the text you type is sent to your device’s geocoding service to find matching places. When you save a new measurement, the coordinates of its center are sent to the same service to suggest a name such as “Area at Main Street”. On most phones this service is provided by Google. Nothing else about the measurement is sent. This only happens if you turn on Settings → Suggest names from address (off by default); otherwise, and without a connection, the app suggests a date-based name.
- Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics (off by default): nothing is collected or sent unless you turn on Settings → Share diagnostics. If you do, Firebase Analytics collects an app instance identifier, device model, OS version, app version, approximate country, app usage such as sessions and screens, when the Pro screen is opened, and in-app purchase events (the product and its price, and when a purchase starts and succeeds; never your payment details), and Crashlytics collects crash reports with stack traces and device state. Land Measure does not log your location, measurement data, names, notes, search text or any other text you type. Turning the setting off stops collection and deletes crash reports that have not been sent yet. See the Firebase privacy information.
- Liftoff Monetize (ads, free version only): the free version of Land Measure shows ads from our advertising partner Liftoff (Liftoff Mobile, Inc., “Liftoff Monetize”, formerly Vungle). To show ads and measure them, Liftoff’s SDK collects device and network information such as your device’s advertising ID, App Set ID, IP address and approximate location derived from it, device type, operating system, language, battery, storage and network state, and how you interact with ads. Liftoff uses this to deliver, measure and personalize ads and to prevent fraud. Land Measure does not pass your location or measurements to Liftoff. Land Measure Pro has no ads and does not start Liftoff’s SDK.
Your choices. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Land Measure asks for your consent on its own consent screen before the first ad. If you decline, ads are still shown but not personalized. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options. Wherever you live, Settings → Do not sell or share my personal information tells Liftoff not to use your data for targeted advertising. Firebase’s advertising signals stay off unless you allow them. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings.
Optional ads for Pro tools. In the free version you may choose to watch an ad to use a Pro tool or export format once. When no ad is available, you may use it once at no cost a limited number of times each day. See Liftoff’s privacy policy, which also explains how to ask Liftoff to delete data it holds.
- Google Play Billing: handles Land Measure Pro subscriptions and the lifetime purchase. Google processes your payment; we receive only the purchase confirmation needed to unlock Pro on your device. See the Google Payments privacy notice.
- Google Play services: provides device location and the in-app review prompt.
The Google services above are subject to Google’s Privacy Policy, and Liftoff Monetize to Liftoff’s privacy policy. Other than these services, Land Measure does not share any data with third parties, and we do not sell your data.
5. Exports, Backups and Sharing
Exports and backups are created only when you ask for them, and they contain your measurement data, such as coordinates, and for PDF reports and backups, photos.
- Exports (KML, CSV and, with Pro or a single export unlocked by watching an ad or with a free use, GPX, KMZ, GeoJSON, PDF and PNG) are written to the app’s temporary storage and shared with the app or person you choose through Android’s share sheet. Temporary export files are deleted after 24 hours. On Android 10 and later, a copy of each export is also saved to your
Downloads/LandMeasure folder, where it stays, even after uninstalling, until you delete it.
- Backups are saved as a file in the app’s own folder on your device (
Android/data/com.nextonelabs.landmeasure/files/backups), which Android deletes when you uninstall the app. You can share a backup to wherever you choose and restore it later from a file you pick.
- Imports: files you open in Land Measure (KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, GPX, CSV or a backup) are read on your device only.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- Delete a measurement to move it to Trash; delete it from Trash, or wait 30 days, to remove it and its photos permanently.
- Remove a single photo from a measurement to delete its file.
- Clear the app’s storage in Android settings, or uninstall the app, to delete all Land Measure data on the device, including backups in the app’s folder. Copies you saved or shared elsewhere, including the
Downloads/LandMeasure folder, stay until you delete them.
- Data collected by the Google services and Liftoff above is retained according to their own policies. Firebase Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months and Crashlytics crash reports for up to 90 days.
Because Land Measure has no accounts and we hold none of your measurements, there is no account to delete and nothing for us to erase on a server.
7. Data Security
Your data is stored in the app’s private storage, protected by your device’s built-in security, and network connections use encryption. We recommend using a screen lock and keeping your system up to date.
8. Children’s Privacy
Land Measure is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Your Choices
- Turn “Share diagnostics” on or off at any time in Settings.
- Change or withdraw your ad consent in the app’s Settings → Privacy options (shown where a consent choice applies).
- Turn on Settings → Do not sell or share my personal information to stop Liftoff from using your data for targeted advertising.
- Reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s Google settings.
- Remove ads entirely by buying Land Measure Pro.
- Revoke location or notification permission in Android settings.
- Delete measurements, photos or all app data as described in section 6.
10. Your Rights in the EEA, UK and Switzerland
The controller for the limited data described in this policy is NextOne Labs LLC, reachable at the contact address in section 13. Google acts as an independent controller or as our processor for its services in section 4, and Liftoff acts as an independent controller for the ad data its SDK collects, as described in their own policies.
Legal bases. We rely on your consent for crash reporting and analytics (the Share diagnostics setting) and, where the law requires it, for personalized advertising. Otherwise we rely on our legitimate interests in showing maps, showing non-personalized ads in the free version, and preventing fraud and abuse. Processing needed to deliver a Land Measure Pro purchase relies on performance of a contract.
Your rights. You have the right to:
- access the personal data held about you and receive a copy of it;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- object to or restrict processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw your consent at any time, in the app’s Settings or Privacy options, without affecting processing that took place before you withdrew it;
- lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
We do not hold your measurements or photos; they exist only on your device and you can delete them at any time. Because the app has no accounts, we cannot link analytics or advertising identifiers to you by name. To exercise a right over data held by Google or Liftoff, you can also use your Google Account settings, Liftoff’s privacy request process, or reset your advertising ID. Contact us with any request and we will respond within the time the law requires.
11. Your Rights Under US State Privacy Laws
Residents of California and other US states with comprehensive privacy laws have rights to know, access, correct and delete personal information, and to opt out of its sale, of its sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, and of targeted advertising.
- We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
- The free version shows ads from Liftoff. Personalized ads may use your advertising ID, IP address and app activity, which some state laws treat as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, or as targeted advertising.
- To opt out, use the app’s Settings → Do not sell or share my personal information, reset or delete your advertising ID in your device’s Google settings, or buy Land Measure Pro, which removes ads.
- We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. Your precise location stays on your device; only a measurement’s center point is sent to the address lookup service, and only to suggest its name, and only if you turn that on in Settings.
- You can make a request by emailing us; we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If you use an authorized agent, we may ask for proof of the agent’s authority.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
