Vision1Awareness (“we”, “our”, “us”) builds tools to enhance road safety awareness. This Privacy Policy explains what data our Android app collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the app, you agree to this Policy.
Overview
Data We Collect
- Approximate & Precise Location (GPS): used to enable proximity awareness and alerts while the app is running.
- Device Identifiers & Diagnostics: basic, non-personal logs and crash data to improve reliability.
- Notifications: permission status and delivery (no message content is stored).
We do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, or messages from your device.
How We Use Your Data
- Core Functionality: compute proximity and deliver real-time safety alerts.
- App Improvement: analyze anonymized diagnostics and crashes to fix bugs and enhance performance.
- Safety & Security: detect misuse and protect the service.
Device Permissions
- Location: required for GPS-based awareness features. You can change this anytime in Android Settings.

Data Sharing
We do not sell your data. We may share limited data with:
- Service Providers: trusted partners who process diagnostics on our behalf under contractual safeguards.
- Legal/Compliance: if required to comply with applicable laws or protect rights and safety.
Retention
Location data used for live awareness is processed in real time and not retained longer than necessary for the feature to function. Diagnostic logs, if collected, are retained only as long as needed to analyze and resolve issues.
Security
We apply administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we aim to continuously improve our safeguards.
