Welcome to SwiftCircuit ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, SwiftCircuit (the "App"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the app.
Information We Collect
To provide and improve the App's functionality, we may collect the following types of information:
- Location Data: When you use the App to plan routes, we collect precise geolocation data for your specified origin, waypoints, and destination. This is essential for calculating routes and ETAs. You will be prompted to grant permission for location access through your device's operating system.
- User Input: We collect the addresses and location names you enter into the App for the origin, waypoints, and destination.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymous information about how you interact with the App, such as features used, session duration, and crash reports. This data helps us understand user behavior and improve the App. This data is anonymized and not linked to your personal identity.
- Device Information: We may collect limited information about your mobile device, such as device model and operating system version, to help with troubleshooting and ensure compatibility.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
- To provide, operate, and maintain the App's core functionality, including route calculation and optimization.
- To communicate with Apple Maps services to obtain ETAs for route segments. Only location data (coordinates) for the specified points is shared for this purpose; no personally identifiable information is transmitted to Apple Maps by our App beyond what is necessary for their service to function.
- To improve the App, including enhancing user experience, developing new features, and fixing bugs.
- To monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the App.
- To respond to your comments, questions, and provide customer support.
Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may disclose information:
- To Service Providers: We share location data (origin, waypoints, destination coordinates) with Apple's MapKit services solely for the purpose of obtaining ETAs and displaying maps within the App. Apple's use of this data is governed by their own privacy policies.
- For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App, or (iv) protect the personal safety of users of the App or the public.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee "perfect security." Any information you transmit to us is at your own risk.
Data Retention
We retain the information you provide (origin, waypoints, destination) only as long as necessary to provide the service within your current session in the app or as required by law. Calculated routes and location data are not persistently stored on our servers beyond your active use unless you explicitly save them within the app (if such a feature becomes available). Anonymized usage data may be retained for longer periods for analytical purposes.
Your Choices and Rights
Regarding your information, you have certain choices:
- Location Services: You can control the App's access to your location information through your mobile device's settings. However, disabling location services will prevent the App from functioning as intended.
- Access and Correction: If you believe that any information we hold about you is incorrect or incomplete, please contact us.
Children's Privacy
SwiftCircuit is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
