WayliLoc ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use the WayliLoc mobile application and related services (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile photo (if provided). You may also sign in using third-party services like Google, Apple, or Facebook, in which case we receive basic profile information from those services.
Location Data: Our core functionality requires access to your device's location. We collect GPS coordinates to provide location sharing, location history, and SOS emergency features with real-time tracking. Location data is collected when the app is in use and, with your permission, in the background.
Device Information: We collect device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers to ensure the app works correctly and to send push notifications.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the app, such as features used, buttons tapped, and session duration. This helps us improve the app experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide location sharing between connected family members
- Display location history and movement routes
- Send SOS emergency alerts with location data to family members
- Send push notifications (location alerts, SOS alerts, app updates)
- Maintain and improve the Service
- Respond to your support requests
- Ensure the security and integrity of the Service
3. Location Data
Location data is the core of our Service. Here's how we handle it:
- Sharing: Your location is only shared with family members you have explicitly approved. No one else can see your location.
- Storage: Location history is stored securely on our servers. You can view and delete your location history at any time from the app.
- Background location: The app may collect location data in the background to provide continuous tracking. You can disable background location access in your device settings at any time.
- Accuracy: We use GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular network data to provide the most accurate location possible.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data or location data to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- With your family members: Location data is shared with family members you have connected with in the app.
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party services (cloud hosting, analytics, push notifications) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users.
5. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers provided by our cloud infrastructure partners. We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for data in transit and at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. Location history is retained according to your subscription plan (basic: 7 days, premium: 30 days). When you delete your account, all personal data and location history are permanently deleted from our servers within 30 days.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data stored by us
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete your account and all associated data
- Disable location sharing at any time through the app or device settings
- Export your data upon request
- Opt out of analytics and non-essential data collection
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@locate-point.com.
8. Children's Privacy
WayliLoc is designed to help parents monitor their children's safety. Children under 13 should only use the app under parental supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If a parent sets up an account for their child, the parent is responsible for managing that account and the child's data.
9. Third-Party Services
Our app integrates with the following third-party services:
- Google Maps — for displaying maps and location data
- Firebase — for analytics and push notifications
- Supabase — for authentication and data storage
- Sentry — for error tracking and app stability monitoring
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice in the app or sending an email. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
