Privacy Policy for NammaFleet
Welcome to NammaFleet ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by Anjana Nayak. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how your personal information is collected, used, and safeguarded across our Android application, Android Auto integration, and web telemetry cockpit.
Background Location Access Notice
NammaFleet collects location data to enable real-time fleet tracking, live route logging, group member position sharing, and turn-by-turn navigation on Android Auto, even when the app is closed or not in use.
Background location tracking runs strictly via a foreground service (LocationService) displaying a persistent status bar notification while active. You can pause or terminate tracking at any time by stopping the active trip in the app or revoking permissions in your device settings.
1. Introduction
Welcome to NammaFleet ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by Anjana Nayak. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how your personal information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use our mobile application NammaFleet (including its Android Auto integration and web telemetry services).
This Privacy Policy explains our data practices in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies, including the Google Play Location Permissions Policy, User Data Policy, and Account Deletion Policy. By downloading, installing, or using NammaFleet, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect several types of information to provide, maintain, and improve the fleet telemetry, navigation, and group collaboration services offered by NammaFleet:
2.1 Location Data (Foreground and Background Location)
Because NammaFleet is a real-time fleet management, route logging, and driver navigation platform, location data is central to the app's functionality:
- Precise Location Data (
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): Collected via GPS and network providers to show your real-time vehicle position on maps, record route logs, calculate trip metrics (speed, distance), and provide driver navigation. - Coarse Location Data (
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Used as a fallback to determine approximate device position when precise GPS signal is unavailable. - Background Location Data (
ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION&FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION):- Why Background Location is Needed: NammaFleet collects location data in the background even when the app is closed, minimized, or when the screen is turned off. This is strictly required to enable continuous active trip tracking, real-time fleet group location sharing, route logging, and Android Auto dashboard navigation.
- How It Operates: When an active trip or fleet session is started, NammaFleet runs a foreground service (
LocationService) accompanied by a persistent status bar notification clearly informing you that location tracking is active. - User Control: Background location tracking can be paused or terminated at any time by ending the active trip in the app or disabling location permissions in your Android system settings.
2.2 Personal & Account Information
- Account Credentials: When you register or sign in, we collect your Name, Email Address, and Phone Number. Authentication is powered by Google Firebase Auth (including passwordless email link sign-in and SMS OTP verification).
- Profile Details: Optional profile pictures (Base64 encoded or stored via Firebase Storage) and display names associated with your fleet account.
2.3 Fleet, Trip & Vehicle Information
- Trip & Route History: Recorded route logs, start/end timestamps, distance covered, speed logs, and destination data saved locally in a secure Room database and synchronized with cloud databases (Firebase Firestore / Realtime Database) for group members and dispatchers.
- Group Join Data: Unique group invitation codes and QR codes (
nammafleet://join) used to connect drivers and fleet dispatchers.
2.4 Device & Technical Identifiers
- Device Identifiers & IP Address: IP address, device hardware model, Android OS version, and network state.
- Push Notification Tokens: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) registration tokens used to send push notifications regarding group activities, fleet alerts, and direct messages.
- Google Advertising ID (GAID): Collected by Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to deliver personalized or non-personalized advertisements.
2.5 Communications & Media Permissions
- Phone Calls & SMS (
CALL_PHONE,SEND_SMS): Used strictly when triggered by you to initiate direct phone calls or send SMS alerts to fleet members, group administrators, or emergency contacts. - Audio Recording (
RECORD_AUDIO): Used if you utilize voice notes or audio communication features within your fleet group. Audio is only recorded while actively interacting with the feature.
2.6 Financial & Payment Data
