We collect the following types of information:
* **Location Information:**

This data is collected when the App is running in the foreground or background, depending on your device settings.
* **Approximate Location Data:** We may also collect approximate location data derived from your IP address or mobile network to provide general location-based services.

**4. How We Share Your Information**
We may share your information with third parties under the following circumstances:
* **Service Providers:** We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in providing the App and its features, such as mapping services. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and only use it for the purposes we specify.
* **Legal Compliance:** We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena or other legal process.
* **Business Transfers:** In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on the App of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

**5. Data Security**
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include secure data storage, access controls, and other industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
**6. Data Retention**
We retain your information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing the App's services and complying with our legal obligations. When the information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

* **Deletion:** You have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal requirements).
* **Location Data:** You can control your location data collection through your device settings. You can disable location services for the Elneelain Insurance App at any time.
**8. Third-Party Services**
(This section is important even if you don't collect data, as it covers what *might* be used, such as mapping services). The app may utilize third-party services such as map services (e.g., Google Maps) to display locations. These services may have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services.
**9. Children's Privacy**
Our App is not intended for children under the age of [Insert age - e.g., 13]. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
**10. Changes to this Privacy Policy**

**Important Considerations and Further Steps:**
* **Legal Review:** This is a template. Have a legal professional review this privacy policy to ensure it complies with all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations, especially if you're offering services in multiple regions.
* **Terms of Service:** You should also have Terms of Service or a similar agreement outlining the rules of using the App.
* **Third-party Services:** If using third-party services (like mapping), include a section explicitly stating that you're not responsible for their data collection practices and that users should review their privacy policies.
* **Regular Review:** Review and update this policy at least annually, or more frequently if your app's features or the legal landscape changes.
* **Consent:** This policy mentions obtaining consent for location data. Ensure that you're actually obtaining explicit consent before collecting and using precise location data (as mandated by various privacy regulations). Provide users with clear explanations on how to enable/disable location services and any potential consequences.
* **Granularity of Controls:** Think through *how* users will control location permissions. Is it a simple on/off switch in the app? Does the app need location access only "while using" or "always?" Make sure your implementation matches what you promise in the policy.
* **Data Minimization:** Collect only the location data you actually need. If approximate location is sufficient, avoid requesting precise location whenever possible.
* **Notifications:** Consider providing notifications to users about location data collection, especially if the app is using background location tracking.
* **Data Sharing Transparency:** Be upfront about any third parties you share location data with (e.g., mapping providers).
* **Rights of Data Subjects:** Ensure you are providing means for users to exercise their rights, such as accessing and deleting the collected data.
