5. Data Security
Data is transmitted securely using HTTPS. We take reasonable measures to protect data, but no system is completely secure.
6. User Controls
- Users can stop tracking within the app
- Users can disable location permissions in Android settings
- Users can uninstall the app at any time
7. Data Retention
We retain data only as long as necessary for operational and legal purposes related to the CollectConnect platform.
8. Intended Users
This app is intended only for authorized users of the CollectConnect platform and is not designed for general public use or children.
9. Third-Party Services
The app uses third-party services such as push notification providers (e.g., Firebase Cloud Messaging) to support functionality.
