PATpad - Aiming Zero
Last updated: March 25, 2026

Introduction

PATpad - Aiming Zero ("the App") is developed by PATpad. This Privacy Policy explains how the App collects, uses, and protects your information.

Data We Collect

Data stored locally on your device

The App stores the following data locally on your device only using an on-device database:

• User profile — Nickname and a randomly generated unique identifier (UID)
• Event data — Event titles, scores, and practice session results
• Device connections — Names and identifiers of paired PATpad devices
• App preferences — Language, device settings, and other configuration

Data we do NOT collect

• The App does not transmit any personal data to external servers
• The App does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising services
• The App does not require an account or login
• The App does not collect location data (Bluetooth scanning permission on Android is a platform requirement, not used for location tracking)

Bluetooth Permissions

The App requests Bluetooth permissions solely to communicate with PATpad hardware target pad devices. Specifically:

• Bluetooth scanning — to discover nearby PATpad devices
• Bluetooth connection — to exchange scoring data and device settings
• Bluetooth advertising — to broadcast a random identifier so the target pad can recognize your device
• Foreground service — to maintain BLE connections during firmware updates

No data from Bluetooth connections is shared externally.

Location Permissions

On Android 11 and below, the Android system requires location permission to scan for Bluetooth Low Energy devices. The App requests this permission solely for BLE scanning. The App does not track, store, or transmit your location. On Android 12 and above, location permission is not required or requested.

Data Retention

All data remains on your device until you delete it. You can delete your data by:

• Clearing app data in Android Settings
• Uninstalling the App (removes all stored data)

Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection services.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The App is intended for target shooting enthusiasts.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
