WHEREYAT PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: April 18, 2026 Last Updated: April 18, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
WhereYat! ("we," "our," or "us"), a product of Premier Products LLC, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application WhereYat! (the "App").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using our App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
2.1 Personal Information
We collect the following personal information:
Phone Number: Used for account verification and contact identification
Contact Name: Display name you choose within the app
Location Data: Real-time GPS coordinates when location sharing is enabled
Device Information: Battery level, device type, and operating system
2.2 Location Information
WhereYat!'s core functionality requires location data:
Current Location Only: Your most recent GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, timestamp)
Previous Location (Temporary): The immediately preceding GPS reading is stored temporarily in device memory (maximum 2 minutes) solely for speed calculation purposes and is never transmitted to our servers
Geofence Event Data: Records of when you or your family members enter or exit designated safe zones, including zone name, entry/exit time, and user ID
2.3 Account Security Information
PIN Hash: A cryptographically hashed version of the PIN you create for account security. We never store your PIN in plain text.
Failed PIN Attempts: Temporarily tracked per phone number to prevent unauthorized access
Temporary Access Blocks: If five consecutive incorrect PIN attempts are made for a phone number, that phone number is temporarily blocked from sign-in for 24 hours. This record is automatically deleted after the block expires.
2.4 Photos
Profile photos you add for yourself or your contacts are stored only on your device
Photos are never uploaded to our servers, never shared with other users, and never transmitted over the internet
Photos are removed when you delete the contact or uninstall the App
2.5 Technical Information
Device Information: Device model, operating system version
App Usage Data: Features used, crash reports, performance metrics
Authentication Data: Firebase user identifiers and session tokens
Push Notification Tokens: A unique identifier used to deliver notifications to your device
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use your information for the following purposes:
3.1 Core App Functionality
Location Sharing: Display your current location to invited family members
Contact Management: Manage your family circle and contact list
Geofencing: Provide location-based notifications when entering/exiting safe zones
Authentication: Verify your identity and secure your account
Speed Calculation: Calculate movement speed using consecutive GPS readings
3.2 Notifications
We send push notifications to inform you of events within the App. Notifications may contain information such as contact names you or your family members have assigned and safe zone names you or your family members have created. By enabling notifications, you consent to this information being delivered to your device.
3.3 App Improvement
Performance Monitoring: Improve app stability and performance
Feature Development: Understand how features are used
Customer Support: Respond to your questions and technical issues
3.4 Legal and Safety
Compliance: Meet legal obligations and protect rights
Safety: Prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
Spam Prevention: Monitor invitation patterns to prevent abuse
4. INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
4.1 Family Members
Location data is shared with ALL family members you have invited and who have accepted your invitation
When location sharing is enabled, all connected family members can see your location
Location sharing is an all-or-nothing setting: when enabled, all your family members see your location; when disabled, none do
You cannot selectively share your location with only some family members
All sharing is mutual and requires consent from both parties
4.2 Safe Zones Created by Others
A family member who is connected to you may create safe zones that trigger notifications when you enter or exit those zones. Records of these crossings are associated with your user account and are visible to the family member who created the zone. By connecting with a family member, you consent to this arrangement. These records are automatically deleted after 7 days.
4.3 Service Providers
We share information with trusted third-party service providers:
Google Firebase: Authentication, database storage, cloud functions, and push notifications
Mapbox: Map display and geocoding services
RevenueCat: Subscription management, purchase validation, and subscription status tracking
Apple App Store / Google Play Store: Subscription management and billing
Note: We do NOT use any third-party SMS services. Phone number verification is handled entirely through Firebase Authentication.
These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for providing services to us.
We may update our list of service providers from time to time. If we add a new service provider that materially changes how your data is processed, we will notify you through an in-app notice or by updating this Privacy Policy.
4.4 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information when required by law:
Legal Process: Subpoenas, court orders, or legal proceedings
Safety: Protect rights, property, or safety of users
Emergency: Life-threatening situations requiring immediate response
Important: We only retain your current location. We do not maintain a location history database, so historical location data is not available for legal requests.
4.5 Business Transfers
If WhereYat! is acquired or merged, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
4.6 What We Do Not Do
No Selling: We never sell your personal information to third parties
No Advertising: We do not share your data with advertisers
No Public Sharing: Your location is never publicly visible
5. DATA SECURITY
5.1 Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures:
Encryption in Transit: Data encrypted using HTTPS/TLS during transmission
Encryption at Rest: Data encrypted in Google Firebase's secure infrastructure
Authentication: Secure phone-based authentication via Firebase
Access Controls: Limited access to personal data through Firebase Security Rules
Firebase Security: Google's enterprise-grade security infrastructure
However, no method of transmission or storage is 100 percent secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5.2 Data Retention
Active Location Data:
Current Location: Overwritten with each new location update (approximately every 2 minutes while sharing is enabled)
Geofence Events: Automatically deleted after 7 days
Account Information: Retained while your account is active

Spam Suspension Data:
If your account is suspended for 30 days due to excessive declined invitations, your account data remains intact and the suspension automatically lifts after 30 days
Fraud Prevention Data:
Phone Number Records for Trial Eligibility: We record phone numbers that have used a free trial to prevent repeated trial abuse
Automatically deleted: Trial records are removed from our systems 12 months after creation
Retained after account deletion: Trial records may be retained for up to 12 months solely for fraud prevention purposes
