When you register for an account, we collect:

1.2 Phone Number & OTP Verification

To verify your identity, we use a One-Time Password (OTP) sent via SMS to your registered phone number. By providing your phone number, you consent to receiving SMS messages from us for authentication purposes. Standard SMS rates from your carrier may apply. We do not use your phone number for marketing purposes.

1.3 Location Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers

We may share data with trusted third-party service providers, including SMS gateway providers (for OTP delivery), cloud hosting and storage providers, and analytics providers (anonymized data only). All service providers are contractually required to protect your data.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests (e.g., a court order or government authority).

3.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account:

• Your account data will be deleted within 30 days

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), encrypted password storage, time-limited OTP codes, and regular security audits. However, no method of electronic transmission is 100% secure.

The Footprinx™ App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify you of significant changes via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
