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.

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.

Tracks are set to private by default, but can at any time be changed to public. Public tracks are listed on locatoweb.com and in the app. Both public and private tracks can be shared through social media, mssages, SMS etc. The user can at any time toggle tracks to be private or public.

Registered users can a log in to LocaToWeb.com and see all the tracks and edit/delete them.

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.
