Overview
RelicPath is a metal detecting companion app that allows users to track detecting trips, log finds, save GPS routes, attach photo references, review hunt history, export records, and optionally use account and cloud backup features.
This Privacy Policy explains what information RelicPath may store, how that information is used, and how users can request deletion of cloud-stored account data.
Information RelicPath May Store Locally
RelicPath may store the following information locally on your device:
- Detecting trip records, including site names, dates, trip duration, distance, and find counts.
- GPS route points recorded during detecting trips.
- Find logs, including object type, depth, VDI number, notes, date, site name, and GPS location.
- Photo references selected by the user for finds or profile images.
- Landowner contact notes entered by the user.
- Saved friends or hunting partner records.
- User profile information, such as username, real name, email, profile photo reference, and privacy settings.
- App settings, cloud sync status, and local backup/restore status.
Location Data
RelicPath uses location data to track detecting trips, calculate distance, save GPS routes, and attach find locations to logged finds. Location data can reveal private property, sensitive sites, or productive detecting areas. Users should be careful when sharing screenshots, exports, maps, or cloud-backed data.
Location tracking is intended for active detecting trip features and user-created records. RelicPath does not sell location data.
Photos and Photo References
RelicPath may allow users to select photos for finds or profile images. The app stores a reference to the selected photo so it can display the image in the app. RelicPath does not claim ownership of user photos.
Users should only add photos they own, have permission to use, or are legally allowed to store.
Account and Cloud Backup Data
RelicPath may use Supabase for account sign-in and optional cloud backup features. When cloud backup is used, RelicPath may upload selected app data to Supabase, including:
- Profile information and privacy settings.
- Trips and trip metadata.
- Find logs and find locations.
- Routes and route points.
- Cloud backup and restore status.
Cloud backup and restore are intended to help users preserve and restore their RelicPath records. Restore may replace local app data on a device with the cloud copy for the signed-in account.
Subscriptions and Payments
RelicPath Pro subscriptions are handled through Google Play Billing. RelicPath does not directly collect or store payment card information. Google Play may process subscription payments, renewals, cancellations, and purchase history according to Google Play policies.
How Information Is Used
RelicPath uses stored information to provide app features, including:
- Trip tracking and trip history.
- Find logging and find review.
- Maps, route display, and heat map features.
- Export tools.
- Profile and privacy settings.
- Cloud backup and restore.
- Subscription-based Pro feature access.
Information Sharing
RelicPath does not sell user personal information. User data may be processed by services used to operate the app, such as Supabase for account/cloud backup features and Google Play for subscriptions.
Users control what they choose to enter, export, back up, or share outside the app.
Always Sensitive Information
Certain information should be treated as sensitive by users, including:
- Exact find locations.
- Trip routes.
- Heat map or hotspot data.
- Landowner contact information.
- Site permission notes.
Users should avoid sharing this information publicly unless they are certain it is safe and appropriate to do so.
Data Deletion
Users can request deletion of their RelicPath account and associated cloud-stored data by visiting the Account and Data Deletion page:
Local data stored only on a user’s device must be deleted from the app or by clearing app storage on that device. RelicPath cannot delete local-only data from devices it cannot access.
Children
RelicPath is intended for general metal detecting hobby use and is not specifically directed to children. Users should follow all applicable laws, app store requirements, and safety rules when using the app.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as RelicPath features change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when changes are made.
