Privacy Policy for Ace Tracker
Peanut Tools Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Service Provider") has developed the Ace Tracker application (hereinafter referred to as the "Application"). This Application is provided as a Free service and is intended for use "AS IS".
Collection and Use of Information
To ensure the Application delivers its core value—family safety and location tracking—we collect specific data when you download and utilize the Application. Below outlines the permissions required and the data collected to facilitate these features:
1. Location Services (Precise and Background Data)
Essential for Core Features: The primary function of Ace Tracker is to provide real-time location updates of family members and connected devices. Consequently, the Application requires access to precise location data via GPS and network sources.
Foreground Tracking: We collect and display your location data while you are actively navigating or engaging with the Application.
Background Tracking: To ensure your family remains informed of your safety status—including features like real-time movement updates and "Safe Zone" (Geofence) entry/exit alerts—the Application must collect location data even when the Application is running in the background, closed, or not currently in use.
User Control: You retain the right to enable or disable location services via your device settings at any time. However, please note that disabling location permissions will render the tracking features of the Application non-functional.
2. Contact List and Phone Numbers
The Application may request access to your address book or ask for manual phone number entry. This data is utilized strictly for the following purposes:
To seamlessly identify and invite family members to join your private tracking circle.
To expedite the addition of trusted contacts for the Emergency SOS alert system.
Privacy Guarantee: We do not sell, trade, or transfer your contact list to unauthorized third parties.
3. Device Specifications and Usage Logs

Internet Protocol (IP) address of your device.
Device information, including the model, operating system version, and configuration.
Usage statistics, such as pages visited within the Application, time/date of access, and session duration.
From time to time, the Service Provider may use the data provided to send important notifications, required technical notices, or promotional updates. Should you provide personally identifiable information (such as your email address or phone number) for feedback or support, it will be retained in accordance with this policy to assist you.
Third-Party Data Access
We may transmit aggregated and anonymized data to external services to help us analyze usage patterns and improve the Application. The Service Provider may share information with third parties strictly as outlined in this statement.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without this consent. If we discover in our database that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without parental supervision, we will delete such information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact feedback@peanuttools.com immediately.

Safeguarding your confidentiality is a priority. The Service Provider implements robust physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the information we process and maintain against unauthorized access or misuse.
