Motion Guardian Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Motion Guardian. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”), available on the Apple Store.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

1. User-Provided Information

• Phone Number: To send SMS or other text-based notifications.
• Email Address: To send email notifications or alerts.

2. Device Activity

The App uses background processing to detect periods of inactivity on your device. We do not store motion or location data; we only detect inactivity to trigger alerts.

Note: Currently, we do not store your phone number or email address on external servers. The information remains on your device or is processed transiently to send notifications.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Notifications and Alerts: We use your phone number and/or email address solely to send alerts if your device remains inactive for a specified interval.
• Service Improvement: We may analyze general usage patterns (in an aggregated or de-identified manner) to enhance App performance.
• Legal Compliance: We may use or disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.

4. Data Storage and Future Plans

• Current Approach: We do not store your phone number or email address on external servers. All data processing happens within the App or via your device’s native functions (e.g., sending SMS/email).
• Future Storage: If we decide to store certain data externally (e.g., to provide a history of alerts), we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you of the changes before collecting or storing any new data.

5. Data Managed by Apple

• Subscriptions and Payments: All billing and subscription information is handled by Apple via StoreKit 2. We do not have direct access to your payment details, nor do we store any financial information.
• Apple’s Privacy Policy: Please review Apple’s privacy practices to understand how they handle your data related to subscriptions and payments.

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties, except in the following situations:

• Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a legal request (e.g., subpoena, court order).
• Protection of Rights: We may share information to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of users or others.
• Service Providers: In the event we use third-party service providers (e.g., email/SMS gateways) to facilitate or provide aspects of the App, they will only receive the information necessary to fulfill their role, under strict confidentiality obligations.

8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. However, no security measure is perfect, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

9. Data Retention

• Retention Period: We currently do not store your personal data on external servers. If, in the future, we begin storing certain data, we will retain it only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law.
• Deletion: If you request deletion of your personal data, and such data is stored externally at that time, we will delete it in compliance with applicable regulations and notify you once the process is complete.

10. Children’s Privacy

Motion Guardian is not directed at individuals under 13 (or the age of majority in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us to request deletion.

11. International Data Transfers

If we ever store or process your personal data on servers located in a country different from yours, we will take measures to ensure that your information is adequately protected, such as signing Standard Contractual Clauses or similar mechanisms required by law.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with a new “Effective Date” at the top of this page. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or other appropriate means. Your continued use of the App after such modifications indicates acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
