Privacy Policy

1. What Information We Collect

To deliver reliable real-time location features for your family, we gather only the categories of data described below. Participation in each category is optional, but declining to share certain data may limit some functionality.

1.1 Real-Time Location Data

The core function of the App is to help family members share their live whereabouts with one another. With your explicit permission, we collect GPS coordinates, movement history, and related positioning signals so that family members you authorize can view your location on a map. Location sharing is always under your control and can be paused or revoked at any time.

1.2 Account and Profile Information

When you register an account, we ask for basic details such as your email address, a display name, and a password. This allows us to authenticate your identity and connect you with the family circle you create within the App.

1.3 Device and Technical Information

We automatically receive certain technical data from your device, including operating system version, hardware model, unique device identifiers, battery status, and crash logs. This information helps us diagnose errors, optimize performance, and maintain compatibility across different devices.

1.4 Usage Analytics

To understand how features are used and to improve overall quality, we may collect aggregated, non-identifiable statistics about your interactions with the App, such as screen views, button taps, and session duration. This data is analyzed in combination with that of other users and does not single you out individually.

2. How We Use Your Information

The data we collect serves the following purposes:

• Providing core features: Displaying real-time locations, location history, and arrival/departure notifications within your family circle.
• Account management: Verifying your identity, recovering lost passwords, and keeping your account secure.
• Service improvement: Identifying bugs, measuring feature adoption, and planning future updates.
• Communication: Sending service announcements, security alerts, and responses to your support requests.
• Legal compliance: Fulfilling obligations required by applicable laws and protecting our legitimate business interests.

3. How We Share Information

We treat your personal information with strict confidentiality. We do not sell your data to any third party. Sharing of your information is limited to the following situations:

• Within your family circle: Location and profile details are visible only to the family members you have explicitly invited and approved.
• Service providers: We work with trusted vendors (such as cloud hosting, mapping, and push notification services) who help operate the App. These partners are bound by confidentiality and may only use your data to perform tasks on our behalf.
• Legal requirements: If compelled by law, court order, or government authority, or to defend our rights and protect the safety of users, we may disclose information as reasonably necessary.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as needed to provide the Service and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Specifically:

• Real-time location data is continuously refreshed and older history is automatically removed according to the retention period you select in settings.
• Account information is kept while your account remains active. Upon account deletion, your data is permanently erased from our production systems within 30 days, except where longer retention is required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You maintain full control over your personal information. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may exercise the following rights:

• Access & portability: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update or fix inaccurate information associated with your account.
• Deletion: Ask us to erase your data and permanently close your account.
• Withdrawal of consent: Turn off location sharing or revoke any permission at any time through your device settings or within the App. Disabling location access will stop live tracking but will not affect other features.
• Opt-out of analytics: You may disable usage data collection in the App's privacy settings.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encrypted data transmission (TLS/SSL)
• Secure cloud storage
• Restricted internal access
• Regular security reviews

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will promptly investigate the incident and notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable laws.

7. Children's Privacy

The App is designed for family use, and we understand that parents may wish to share location with their children for safety. However, the Service is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Parents who create accounts for family members are responsible for managing those connections and for ensuring the consent of all participants. If you believe we have collected information from a child in violation of applicable law, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to external websites, app stores, or third-party tools (such as map providers and advertisement networks) that are not operated by us. Once you leave our Service, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.

We strongly encourage you to review the privacy statements of any third-party sites or services you visit, as we have no control over and assume no responsibility for their content, policies, or practices.

9. Advertising

To keep certain features free, the App may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver relevant ads based on your general interests. Your interactions with ads are governed by the respective ad network's privacy policy, which you can access through the links provided with each advertisement.

10. Subscription and Auto-Renewal

The App offers an optional premium subscription that unlocks advanced features. The following terms apply to paid subscriptions:

• Payment is charged to your App Store or Google Play account upon confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, and the cost of renewal depends on the plan you selected.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your device's account settings.
• Refunds are handled by the respective app store according to its own refund policy.

11. International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located in countries other than your own. When we transfer data internationally, we take steps to ensure it receives a comparable level of protection through legal mechanisms such as standard contractual clauses or other safeguards recognized by applicable data protection laws.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more conspicuous notice.

We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
