GeoApp – Privacy Policy

Introduction

GeoApp is a family safety and location-sharing application designed to help users stay connected with their trusted family and friends. We do not allow secret tracking or any monitoring without the clear knowledge and consent of the user.

All location sharing requires explicit user approval, and a persistent notification is always displayed when location is being shared.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Location Information

GeoApp collects location data only when the user chooses to share their location with approved contacts. Location data is used strictly to:

• Display real-time location to selected family members
• Provide safety alerts (optional)
• Improve app functionality

GeoApp never collects or shares location data secretly.

1.2 Device Information

We may collect:

• Device model

• Crash reports

This information is used only to improve stability and user experience.

1.3 Account Information

If the user registers an account, we may collect:

• Name (optional)

This is used only for authentication and connecting users with their chosen family group.

2. How We Use the Information

Your data is used only for:

• Location sharing with your explicit consent
