Detector Dynasty Privacy Policy

Big Bwain provides Detector Dynasty for logging metal-detecting activity, recording equipment and findings, and sharing with other people when you choose.

Device-only use

You can use the app without signing in. The app saves local records and detecting setups on your device. Maps, weather and directions can contact their providers as described below. When you export a file or send support information, you choose the destination.

Accounts and connected features

Your sign-in provider verifies your identity. The service uses an account identifier and, where provided, your name and email address to authenticate you and manage your account. When you use connected features, the service stores your profile and synced records, which can include detecting setups, notes, locations, photos, videos, and attachment names.

We store your favorites with your account so we can show your selections and update favorite counts. We also store in-app friend requests, connections, and blocks to operate those features.

Visibility controls determine who can see a shared record and its attachments. Your public profile and public posts, including locations you share with them, can be seen by other users. Target ID and depth on shared finds are visible only to the finder. We use reports and blocks to operate the community and address misuse.

Location, maps, weather and directions

Location permission lets the app show your position, record a point you choose to save, or follow a route you start recording. Native map imagery is provided by Google on Android and Apple on iPhone and iPad. You can enter locations manually where the app offers that option.

When Android uses the native Google map, Google can receive the map area shown, map interactions such as panning and zooming, your IP address, device and request details, crash diagnostics, and a pseudonymous Maps SDK identifier. Google uses these data to provide and improve its services. A map centered on your position or a record can show that location. You can manage Detector Dynasty's access to your device location in system settings. See the Google Privacy Policy.

When you choose Weather, the app sends the selected latitude and longitude to the US National Weather Service and opens its forecast inside the app. The service logs request information, including the requested page and your IP address. See the National Weather Service privacy policy.

When you choose Directions, the app passes the selected destination coordinates to Google Maps on Android or Apple Maps on iPhone and iPad. On iPhone and iPad, the app also passes the location title when available.

Storage and deletion

Requests to Detector Dynasty's connected service use HTTPS. Account and record data and private media are stored in app-specific Azure services. You can request deletion in the app or through our account-deletion page. An encrypted Apple revocation credential may remain for up to seven days while the service retries revocation.
