This Privacy Policy explains how Inspector Alert collects, uses, and protects information when you use the app.
We may collect account information such as your email address, username, selected country, region, profession, phone number, and app preferences. We may also collect report information you submit, including location details, report context, photos, comments, timestamps, and moderation status.
Inspector Alert uses location data to provide nearby alerts, calculate distance from reports, and improve map and notification functionality. Location data may be used while the app is open and, where permitted by your device settings, in the background for alert delivery.
We collect and store push notification tokens so we can send nearby alerts, report status updates, system notices, and account-related notifications. You can control notification permissions through your device settings.
Inspector Alert may use Firebase Authentication or similar services to create and manage accounts, verify email addresses, and protect access to the app.
We use information to operate the app, show nearby reports, send alerts, moderate user-submitted reports, prevent abuse, improve reliability, provide support, and maintain account security.
Reports submitted by users may be visible to other users in summarized or moderated form. We may remove personal or sensitive details before showing reports publicly. Do not submit private information that you do not want processed by the app.
We may review reports, photos, comments, account activity, device information, and usage patterns to prevent spam, false reporting, abuse, or misuse of the service.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the app, such as hosting, authentication, push notification, analytics, storage, and support providers.
Data may be stored in databases and cloud services used by Inspector Alert. Because Inspector Alert supports multiple countries, data may be processed or stored in regions outside your country depending on infrastructure and service provider requirements.
We keep information for as long as needed to operate the app, provide support, comply with legal obligations, prevent abuse, and maintain records of reports and moderation actions.
You may update profile information in the app, change notification preferences, disable device permissions, or contact support about account or data questions. Some features may not work properly if location or notification permissions are disabled.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no app, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Inspector Alert is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law to use online services. If we learn that a child has provided personal information without required consent, we may delete the account or data.
Inspector Alert is designed to support Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other supported regions over time. Privacy rights may vary depending on your country, province, state, or region.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after updates means you accept the updated policy.
