Services overview
LocaToWeb is an app that provides real time GPS tracking. LocaToWeb.com is the accompanying web site that the app connects and publish tracks to.

When tracking with the LocaToWeb app it will by default publish your location, speed and distance to LocaToWeb.com. Visitors to this web site can see your location on a map.

The tracks are anonymous and only identified by an alias which is chosen by the user when initiating a track.

The app will only track location data when initiated by the user. This happens when the 'Start' button is clicked and it says 'Tracking' in the display. The tracking stops when 'Stop' button is clicked.

By toggling the option 'Private track on/off' before starting a track it is possible to control if the track should be listed publicly or not. If set to private, the track will only be listed to the owner of the track when logged in to LocaToWeb.com. (Note that it's still accessible by anyone through the URL)

Registered users can at any time log in to LocaToWeb.com and toggle public list visibility as well as totally delete tracks.

Your tracking data will be stored at LocaToWeb.com's data servers. However, you can at any time choose to delete the tracking data or the entire account.

The app will continue to run behind the lock screen when an active track is running (if your device settings allows/support it)

When registering we require the email address as authentication. This will only be used for confirming the account, sending emails holding track URL's and password reset functionality. Occasionally we will send informative emails.
