Welcome to Gridee
At Gridee, your privacy and trust are our top priorities. This Privacy Policy explains in clear,
simple
terms how we collect, use, protect, and handle your personal information when you use our smart
parking
management app.
Our Promise: We believe in complete transparency. We will never sell your personal
data,
and we only collect what's necessary to provide you with a seamless parking experience.
Information We Collect
We collect specific data points to provide our smart parking services. This includes:
- Identity & Account: Name, email address, phone number, and password
(encrypted).
- Vehicle Data: Vehicle license plate numbers and vehicle type.
- Parking Activity: Parking lot choices, booking history, and QR codes scanned.
- Financial Data: Wallet balances, transaction history, and payment status
(processed
via Razorpay).
- Technical Data: JWT authentication tokens stored locally, and device
identifiers
for app functionality.
- Camera Data: Images of license plates for text recognition (processed via ML
Kit).
Third-Party Services
We partner with trusted third-party providers to deliver our services. We share only necessary data
with
them:
- Razorpay: Payment processing. We share order IDs and payment amounts. We do not
store card details.
- Google/Apple Sign-In: Authentication. We receive profile tokens to verify your
identity.
- Google ML Kit: Text recognition. Used to process license plate images locally
on
your device.
- Google AdMob: Advertising. May collect device identifiers and usage data to
show
relevant ads.
Location & Permissions
Location: We do not currently collect real-time GPS location data. If this changes
in a
future update to enable navigation features, we will request explicit permission.
Camera: Required for scanning QR codes and recognizing vehicle license plates.
Storage: We use local storage (SharedPreferences) to securely store your session
tokens
(JWT) and user preferences.
Security & Logging
We take data security seriously. While we are transitioning to full HTTPS encryption for all network
traffic, we currently employ the following measures:
- Local Encryption: Sensitive tokens are stored securely on your device.
- Network Logging: For debugging and improvement, we may log API request/response
bodies. These logs are rotated regularly.
- Password Hashing: User passwords are hashed before storage.
Your Rights
You have control over your data. While automated deletion tools are coming soon, you can currently:
- Request Deletion: Contact us to manually delete your account and all associated
data.
- Export Data: Request a copy of your transaction and booking history.
- Opt-Out: You can opt-out of personalized advertising via your device settings.
