# Privacy Policy for Velocity AI
This Privacy Policy describes how Velocity AI ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in a transparent manner. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.
## 1. Information We Collect
### 1.1 Personal Data
We may collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for an account, use certain features of the App, or contact us. This may include:
* **Email Address and Password**: If you choose to use the "Cloud Sync" feature, we collect your email address and a hashed password to create and manage your account and synchronize your speed history, camera reports, and settings across devices.
### 1.2 Location Data
Velocity AI is a GPS-based speedometer and speed limit alert application. To provide its core functionality, the App collects and processes real-time location information from your device. This includes:
* **Precise Location (GPS)**: We collect precise location data to calculate your current speed, determine speed limits, and provide speed limit alerts. This data is essential for the App's primary functions.
**Prominent Disclosure and Consent for Location Data:**
When your app's access, collection, use, or sharing of personal and sensitive user data (like location data) may not be within the reasonable expectation of the user, we will provide an in-app disclosure. This disclosure will explain what data is being accessed or collected, how it will be used, and will require your affirmative consent before collection begins [1].
### 1.3 Usage Data
We may also collect information about how you access and use the App ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and diagnostic data.
### 1.4 Camera Reports
If you use the "Report Camera" feature, any data you submit, such as location and type of camera, will be collected to improve the accuracy of our speed camera database.
## 2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for various purposes, including:
* To provide and maintain the App's core functionality, such as calculating speed and providing speed limit alerts.
* To manage your account and provide cloud synchronization of your data (if you use the Cloud Sync feature).
* To improve and personalize your experience with the App.
* To analyze usage and monitor the effectiveness of the App.
* To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
* To fulfill any other purpose for which you provide it.
## 3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal and sensitive user data to third parties [1]. We may share your information in the following situations:
* **With Your Consent**: We may disclose your personal information for any purpose with your consent.
* **For Cloud Sync**: If you use the Cloud Sync feature, your data will be stored on our secure servers to enable synchronization across your devices.

* **Business Transfers**: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred.
## 4. Data Security
We value your trust in providing us your Personal Data, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. We handle all personal and sensitive user data securely, including transmitting it using modern cryptography (for example, over HTTPS) [1]. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
## 5. Children's Privacy
Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
