Privacy Policy for TravelAlert

Effective Date: November 6, 2024

Thank you for using TravelAlert ("we", "our", or "us"). Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, TravelAlert (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use TravelAlert:

Location Information

• Real-Time Location Data: TravelAlert collects your real-time location (latitude and longitude) to track your movement and notify you when you approach a specified destination. This information is collected only while the app is actively running.

• Location Permissions: We request permission to access your device’s GPS or network-based location. You can choose to allow or deny the location access, but certain features of the App may not work without location permissions.

Other Information

• Device Information: We may collect information about your device, including device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information to help improve the functionality of the app.

• Usage Data: We may collect data about how you interact with the App, such as your preferences, settings, and other activities within the App.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Provide Location-Based Alerts: To send notifications when you approach your designated destination, helping you stay on track during travel.

• Improve App Functionality: To enhance the user experience and optimize app performance.

• Personalize User Experience: To provide customized notifications and improve user interface based on your preferences.

• Troubleshoot and Analyze: To troubleshoot bugs, analyze app performance, and conduct research to improve the service.

3. Data Storage and Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously. The information we collect is stored on secure servers, and we implement reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

• With Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App, conducting business, or providing services to you (e.g., cloud storage providers or analytics services).

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or respond to a legal request such as a court order or government inquiry.

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

5. Location Data

Since TravelAlert requires access to your device’s location data for core functionality, we want to clarify the following:

• Real-Time Location Tracking: TravelAlert will access your location continuously while the app is running to notify you when you’re near your designated destination.

• No Tracking When App is Closed: We do not track your location when the app is not in use, and we only collect location data when you actively use the app.

• Permission Management: You can disable location tracking at any time by adjusting the location permissions in your device’s settings. However, disabling location services may limit the functionality of the app.

6. Third-Party Links and Ads

TravelAlert may display ads or include links to third-party websites. These third-party sites and services have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit from within the App.

7. Children’s Privacy

TravelAlert is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify users of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with an updated effective date. Please review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
