Effective Date: May 24, 2026
For compliance with Apple App Store Guideline 5.1.2(i) – Data Use and Sharing
ScreenRide ("we," "us," or "our") operates a mobile application that allows users to save geographic plotline data, confirm drive entry, and share panel buttons with friends and members. We also provide a safety feature that allows you to share your coarse location with emergency contacts you select.
This Privacy Policy explains:
What data we collect
How we use it
Why we do not track you (as defined by Apple)
How emergency location sharing works
By using ScreenRide, you confirm you are at least 18 years old.
Under Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, tracking means:
Linking data collected from the app with third-party data for advertising purposes, or sharing collected data with a data broker.
ScreenRide does NOT track you because:

Share your location with advertisers
❌ No
Share your data with data brokers
❌ No
Link your location with third-party data for cross-app ads

✅ Therefore, ScreenRide never requests App Tracking Transparency permission. You will never see a "tracking" prompt from us.
Why we collect it:
Core feature: To save geographic plotline data before you enter an area
Safety feature: To share your location with emergency contacts only when you initiate it
Do we track you with this? ❌ No
Do we sell it? ❌ No
Can you disable it? Yes – via iOS device settings (but core features will not work)
What we collect:
Name and phone number of the person you designate as your emergency contact
Your relationship to that person (optional)
How it works:
You must explicitly add emergency contacts within the app
Your location is never shared automatically
You must press an Alert button to share location with an emergency contact
You are shown a confirmation alert before any location is shared
Do we use emergency contacts for advertising? ❌ No

Purpose
Data Used
Is This Tracking?

❌ No
App improvement

Step-by-step process:
You add an emergency contact in the app settings.
You press an "Alert" or "Share Location" button.
You see a confirmation pop-up:
"Share your current coarse location with [Emergency Contact Name]? This helps them find you if needed. We never track you or share with advertisers."
You confirm – then and only then is your location shared.
Your emergency contact receives a one-time SMS or in-app notification with your location.
Important limits:
No automatic or background sharing
No recurring sharing
No retention of location after sharing
No use of emergency contacts for any other purpose
Recipient

Emergency contact info
❌ Any third party (except your contact per your request)
Plotline data
❌ No one except friends you choose
Device identifiers
❌ No advertisers or tracking firms
We do not sell your data. We do not track you.
Apple requires apps to show an ATT prompt only if they track users.
Because ScreenRide does not track:
❌ No linking location with third-party data
❌ No sharing with data brokers
❌ No advertising targeting
You will never see a tracking permission request from ScreenRide.
If another app shows you a tracking prompt, that means that app tracks users. We do not.
ScreenRide is strictly for users aged 18 and older.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Account registration requires a checkbox affirming you are 18+.
If we discover a child has provided data, we will immediately delete all associated data and terminate the account.
