FAKEGPS Privacy Policy

Effective: October 18, 2026 · 한국어

FAKEGPS (Korean name "GPS 가짜 위치", the "Service") is a free app that sets your Android device's location to a place you pick on a map. This policy explains what information the Service uses and how it is handled.

Summary

There is no sign-up or login. We do not ask for your name, phone number, email or anything else that identifies you.
The Service has no servers of its own. Neither your real location nor the fake location you choose is sent to or collected by the developer.
The fake location you choose and your map settings are stored only on your device.
To keep the Service free, it shows Google AdMob ads, which may use your advertising ID.

1. Information used and why

Information	Purpose	Retention
Current location (latitude, longitude)	Showing your position on the map; the "My location" button	Used on screen only; not stored or sent anywhere
Fake location you choose (latitude, longitude)	Setting the device location to it; showing it again when you reopen the app	Stored on your device only; no longer used after you turn it off (deleted when you uninstall)
Last viewed map position	Opening the map where you left it	Stored on your device only; deleted when you uninstall
Addresses or place names typed into the search box	Finding the coordinates of that place (using Android's built-in address lookup)	Not stored by the Service. The search text may be sent to Google or your device maker's location lookup service. Coordinates you type (e.g. 37.5665, 126.9780) are not sent anywhere
Advertising ID, device and app information, IP address	Showing ads and measuring ad performance (Google AdMob)	Subject to Google's policies

2. How location is used

Location permission is used only if you allow it. Android requires location permission for the fake location feature.
While fake location is on, the coordinates you chose are given to the Android system as this device's location. Other apps on the same device will then receive those coordinates instead of your real location. This is what the Service does.
While fake location is on, the app keeps running in the background to keep the location set, and a "Fake location on" notification is shown. Even then, your real location is not collected or sent anywhere.
When you tap "Stop", your real location comes back immediately and the background work stops.

3. Third parties

Recipient	Information	Purpose
Google LLC (Google Maps SDK)	Requests needed to draw the map (the map area being viewed), device and app information	Displaying the map
Google LLC or your device maker (Android address lookup)	Addresses or place names typed into the search box	Finding place coordinates
Google LLC (AdMob)	Advertising ID, device and app information, IP address	Showing ads

We do not sell your information or share it with anyone else for any other purpose. Google's handling of data follows the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

4. Notification permission

Notification permission is used only to show the "Fake location on" notification while fake location is on. Tapping it opens the app so you can change or stop the location.

5. Ads and opting out of personalization

A rewarded ad is shown when you turn fake location on or off, and a banner ad is shown at the bottom of the screen.
You can delete your advertising ID or turn off personalized ads in your device settings → Google → Ads (or Privacy → Ads).
Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK see an ad consent form on first launch and can change their choice at any time via "Privacy settings" at the bottom of the app screen.

6. Your rights

You can turn off location and notification permissions at any time in your device settings.
Uninstalling the app deletes the fake location and map settings stored on your device.
The Service keeps no user information on any server, so no separate deletion request is needed. For questions, contact us below.

7. Children

The Service requires no sign-up and does not ask for age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
