Privacy Policy — Coverage App for Android

Last updated: March 2026

What the App Does

The Coverage app for Android shows cell coverage quality throughout the United States. Maps show coverage from the major networks: AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.

What's Collected

The app does not collect cell signal data or upload measurements to Broadband Map's servers. Data about your location may be used to position the map on your area. App users can refuse location sharing and still use the app, but functionality will be reduced.

Normal use of the app involves data passing through external services and Broadband Map's own servers. Requests to Broadband Map may be logged, and the collected data can include IP addresses and timestamps. The third-party services below also receive data as part of their operation.

Third-Party Services

The app uses the following third-party services:

• Mapbox — map rendering and geocoding. Mapbox receives location-related queries to display map tiles and search results.
• Firebase — analytics and crash reporting. If the app crashes, diagnostic information (device model, OS version, stack trace) is sent to help identify and fix bugs.

Future Data Collection

A future version of the app may introduce optional crowdsourced data collection, where users can contribute cell signal readings to improve coverage maps. This policy will be updated before any such collection, and Broadband Map intends to allow users to opt out and still use the app.

Changes

This policy may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance of any changes.
