Park Pin: Find My Parked Car (com.pando.parkingspotfinder) — Last updated: August 4, 2026
1. Overview
Park Pin ("the App") is a free Android app published by 강건한건강 ("we", "us"). It saves where you parked and helps you walk back to it. There is no account, no sign-up, and no cloud sync. Apart from loading advertisements, the App does not send anything anywhere.
2. Location
The App uses your device location for one purpose: to record the spot where you parked and to show the direction and distance back to it.
- Location is read only while the App is open and in the foreground. The App does not request background location access and cannot track you when it is closed.
- The saved coordinates are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded to us or shared with any third party, including the advertising provider.
- You can delete a saved spot at any time from the App, and clearing the history removes past spots from the device.
3. Camera and photos
You may optionally take a photo of your parking spot. If you do, the camera permission is requested at that moment, and the photo is written to the App's own private storage area.
- The App does not request access to your photo gallery or device storage. It cannot see photos taken with any other app.
- Photos never leave the device. They are deleted when you delete the spot or the App.
4. Notifications
If you set a parking-meter reminder, the App asks for notification permission and schedules the reminder locally on the device. No push service is involved and no server is contacted. Declining the permission only disables the reminder; everything else keeps working.
5. Information we collect
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. We operate no server or database holding user data, and we cannot see your parking spots, photos, or notes.
6. Third-party services and advertising
The App uses one third-party service:
- Google AdMob — for advertising. The App shows (a) a banner on the home screen, (b) an app-open ad when you return to a saved spot, at most once a day and never on first launch, and (c) a full-screen ad after you tap "Found It!", with the first three trips exempt and a cool-down between showings. No ads are shown while you are saving a spot or while the compass screen is guiding you back.
For advertising, the App declares the Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) permission, and AdMob may collect the advertising identifier along with device and usage data to serve and measure ads. The App always requests non-personalized ads, and it never passes your location, photos, or notes to the ad request. See the Google Privacy Policy and Google's advertising data notice. You can reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings > Privacy > Ads on Android.
Opening a spot in a maps app hands the coordinates to whichever maps app you choose, at the moment you tap the button. That app's own privacy policy applies from then on. We use no analytics, no crash reporting, and no remote push service.
7. Permissions
The App requests these permissions, and only these:
- Location (fine and coarse, foreground only) — to save and find your parking spot. Background location is not requested.
- Camera — optional, only if you choose to photograph your spot.
- Notifications — optional, only if you set a parking-meter reminder.
The App does not request access to photos and videos, files and storage, contacts, the microphone, or physical activity. Remaining manifest entries are normal permissions granted without a prompt (internet and network state for ads, the advertising ID, vibration and wake lock for the reminder).
8. Data storage and deletion
Saved spots, photos, notes, and history live in the App's private storage on your device. History older than 30 days is removed automatically along with its photos. Clearing the history in the App deletes it immediately, and uninstalling the App removes everything it stored, including any cached AdMob data. There is no cloud backup, so anything you need to keep should be saved elsewhere before uninstalling.
9. Accuracy
GPS accuracy depends on your surroundings. Inside multi-storey car parks or between tall buildings, the saved point can be off by tens of metres, and some devices do not report a compass heading at all. The App shows the accuracy at save time and warns you when the signal was weak. It is a memory aid, not a precision instrument.
10. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page together with a revised date.
