This Privacy Policy explains how Antenna Finder (“the app”, “we”, “us”) handles your information. The app helps you aim a free-to-air TV antenna by showing the direction, bearing and distance to nearby broadcast towers. We have written this policy to describe exactly what the app does today — nothing more.
In short: the app uses your phone’s location and compass to point you at the best broadcast tower. Your coordinates are sent to our own server only to look up nearby towers, are processed in memory, and are not stored in any database. There are no accounts, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking.
The app works with the following information on your device:
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or any account information. The app has no login or user accounts.
Your GPS location and compass heading are used solely to compute the direction, bearing and distance from where you are to nearby broadcast towers, and to orient the on-screen pointer so you can aim your antenna.
To find nearby towers, your latitude and longitude are sent to the app’s own server (the “Antenna Finder API”). On that server:
You can search for any town or postcode to preview towers before installing an antenna. Searching does not require location permission. Most searches are answered from a list of Australian places built into the app. If your search isn’t found in that built-in list, the text you typed is sent to Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), a third-party geocoding service, to look up its coordinates. Your search text is governed by OpenStreetMap’s own privacy and usage terms when this happens.
On Android, the app may display a map of nearby towers using the Google Maps SDK. When the map is shown, Google may process map-related data in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.
The app does not contain advertising, and it does not use any analytics or tracking SDKs. We do not build profiles of you, and we do not sell or share your personal information.
The app is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app has no accounts and does not collect personal details from anyone.
If we change how the app handles your information, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes may also be noted in the app’s store listing or release notes.
