Privacy Policy and Terms of Use

Privacy Policy

Permissions and Data Collection

The Smart Link application requires specific permissions to ensure functionality and provide an optimal user experience. These permissions are requested explicitly and accessed only upon user consent:

• Location Permission: Required by the Android operating system for Bluetooth functionality, including scanning and connecting to nearby devices. Location data is processed locally on your device and is never stored or shared with any third party.
• Nearby Devices Permission: Enables the app to detect and connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices in proximity. This permission is essential for interaction with Smart Lock systems and is accessed only with your explicit authorization.

Biometric Authentication: The application uses Android's native biometric authentication system (e.g., fingerprint or face recognition) to enhance security. This process is fully managed by the Android operating system:

• No Explicit Permission Required: Biometric authentication does not require explicit permission from the user because it is inherently handled by the Android OS.
• No Data Access or Storage: The application does not access, store, or transmit biometric data. All biometric information remains securely managed within the operating system, ensuring user privacy and security.

Data Collection Practices

• Google OAuth Data: When signing up with Google, only essential information such as your email address and username is collected. This data is used strictly for account creation and authentication.
• Crash and Error Logs: The app uses Crashlytics to collect anonymized technical data about crashes and errors, including device operating system and error details. This data is solely for diagnosing and resolving technical issues.
