Effective Date: March 23, 2025

Welcome to Zone! We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of your information when you use our mobile application ("Zone") and related services (collectively, "Services"). By using our Services, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our Services:

a. Information You Provide
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your account key, display name, and any other information you choose to provide (e.g., profile photo or bio).

User Content: Posts, comments, or other content you share through the App, including text, images, or other media.

b. Precise Location Data
Location Information: We collect your precise location data (e.g., GPS coordinates) when you use the App to create or share posts. This allows us to associate your posts with specific locations and provide location-based features.

Background Location: With your permission, we may collect location data even when the App is running in the background to enhance functionality and ensure compliance with our Terms of Service.

c. Automatically Collected Information
Device Information: We collect details about your device, such as device type, operating system, IP address, and unique device identifiers.

Usage Data: We monitor how you interact with the App, including the time, frequency, and duration of your activities, to verify adherence to our Terms of Service and improve our Services.

Analytics: We use analytics tools to track app performance and user behavior, such as pages viewed or features used.

d. Monitoring for Compliance
We actively monitor your activity within the App, including your posts, location data, and interactions, to ensure compliance with our Terms of Service. This may include automated systems or manual review.

2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
To Provide Services: Enable location-based posting, display your posts to other users, and facilitate interactions within the App.

To Verify Compliance: Monitor your activity and location to ensure you adhere to our Terms of Service, including detecting and preventing abuse, fraud, or prohibited behavior.

To Personalize Your Experience: Tailor content and features based on your location and preferences.

To Improve the App: Analyze usage trends and feedback to enhance functionality and user experience.

To Communicate: Send you updates, notifications, or respond to inquiries via email or in-app messages.

To Ensure Safety and Security: Protect against unauthorized access, misuse, or illegal activities within the App.

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:
With Other Users: Your posts, username, and precise location (if tied to a post) may be visible to other users of the App, depending on your privacy settings.

Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, or moderation tools) who assist us in operating the App. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or government request.

Business Transfers: If Zone is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Your Choices and Controls
Location Permissions: You can enable or disable location access through your device settings. Note that disabling precise location may limit your ability to use certain features, such as posting.

Data Deletion: You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at Max@Silvtech.com. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws.

5. Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. We may also retain certain data (e.g., posts or usage logs) to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our Terms of Service. Location data tied to posts may be stored indefinitely unless you delete the post or your account.
6. Security
We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
