Privacy Policy for FamilySync
Effective Date: October 26, 2023
FamilySync ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use the FamilySync mobile application.
Background Location Access: FamilySync requires the "Allow all the time" location permission. This is necessary because the core purpose of the app—keeping your family safe and detecting crashes—cannot function if tracking stops when the app is in the background or your device is locked.
1. Information We Collect
- Location Information: We collect precise location data and speed to provide real-time family tracking. This data is collected in the background to ensure safety even when the app is not actively being used.
- Sensor Data: We access your device's accelerometer and motion sensors to detect sudden impacts or stops for our Car Crash Detection feature.
- Account Information: We use Google Sign-In for authentication. We collect your name and email address provided by Google to identify you within your family group.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Family tracking: To display your real-time location and speed to authorized family members (Parents/Admins).
- Car Crash Detection: To identify potential accidents and automatically notify your family group with your exact coordinates.
- Safety Alerts: To send notifications regarding high-speed driving or emergency situations.
3. Data Sharing
- Authorized Users Only: Your location and safety status are shared exclusively with the specific family members you have authorized in the app.
- No Third-Party Sales: We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers.
4. Data Security
We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data during transmission. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
