2. How We Use Your Information

       To Enhance User Experience: Analyze usage patterns to improve the App’s functionality.

       To Improve Customer Support: Provide timely responses to support requests.

       To Enable App Features: Implement geofencing and other location-based functionalities.

       To Communicate with You: Send updates, respond to inquiries, and provide support.

3. Geofence and Background Location Data

The App’s geofence feature uses location data to enable functionalities such as Auto-Unlock.

       Location data is stored exclusively on your device and is not sent to our servers.

       Background location access is required to support geofence detection and ensure Auto-Unlock functionality while the application is not in use.

       The App adjusts the location-checking frequency to optimize battery life.

       This feature requires explicit user consent before activation.

The legal basis for processing location data for this feature is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time by disabling the geofence feature in the App settings or by revoking the location permission in your device settings, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

4. Data Protection Measures

We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information, including:

       Encryption of sensitive data during transmission.

       Secure storage methods to prevent unauthorized access.

       Regular audits of our data protection systems.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. Please exercise caution when sharing personal information.

5. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share aggregated, anonymized data with trusted partners for analytical purposes.

We may also disclose your information:

       If required by law or legal processes.

       To enforce our policies or protect our rights.

6. User Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

       Access and review the information we hold about you.

       Request corrections or deletions of your data.

       Withdraw consent for data processing where applicable.

       If your rights have been violated, file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority.
