The application does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you. Links to privacy policies of third party service providers used by the application are listed below.

Google Services

Google Play Services - This is a core part of many other applications typically used on Android devices. My Elevation uses Google Play Services to support the maps you see in the application. I also uses them to find your location if you choose to use "Follow Me" mode. The application can be set to not retrieve your location. To set the application to not retrieve your location go to Preferences, GPS Settings and set the "Use GPS for My Location" switch to Off.
Google AdMob - This service is used to show ads in the application. We do not offer an ad free version of the application.
Firebase Analytics - The data analytics collected contains no identifying or personal data and is anonymous. It is related to what features are used in the application and consumption of the web services we rely on to provide elevation, weather and Wikipedia data. We use this information to determine which features to add or enhance. You may turn off the analytics by going Preferences, Analytics Data and set the "Analytics/Crash Reporting Data Preference" switch to Off.

Elevation - The following third party providers are used for finding elevation for a given location. The application transmits coordinates (lattitude and longitude) to these services based on your location or locations you long press on the map.

Geocoding - The following third party providers are used for finding street addresses shown in the popups that appear when you long-press on the map. The application transmits coordinates to them when you long press on the map. They are also used to find addresses related to the words you enter in the search feature of the application. The application transmits what you type in the search feature to these services.

Other Services - The application transmits coordinates to the services below when you long press on the map.

These services are used to show weather conditions for the locations you long-press on the map. You may turn off this feature off by going to Preferences, Additional Data Retrieval and set the "Get Weather Data" switch to Off.
