This data is stored locally on your device within the app's history and is not transmitted to our servers.
2. User-Generated Content:
Photos and Notes: You may choose to add a photo or a text note to your parking session. This content is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded or viewed by us.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
To Provide Core Functionality: To save your parking location, run timers, and show your parking history.
To Improve the App: To understand how our users engage with the App, fix bugs, and develop new features.

You have control over the information you provide. You can manage the App's access to your location at any time through your device's system settings.
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
