When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we automatically gather specific technical information. While this data does not directly identify you (e.g., your name or contact information), it may include details such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, location, country, usage patterns, and other technical insights. This information helps us maintain the security and functionality of our Services and supports our internal analytics and reporting processes.
Like many businesses, we also use cookies and similar technologies to collect data.
The Information We Collect Includes

This includes service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information automatically gathered by our servers when you interact with our services. Logged data may encompass your IP address, browser type and settings, device information, activity timestamps, pages or files viewed, searches performed, and actions (e.g., feature usage). It may also capture device event data, such as system activity, error reports (commonly referred to as “crash dumps”), and hardware configurations.

Location Data
We collect data about your device’s location, which may range from precise to approximate. The location information collected depends on the settings and type of device you use. For example, GPS and similar technologies can provide geolocation data, revealing your current location based on your IP address. You can opt out of location tracking by denying permission or disabling location services on your device. However, by doing so you may limit your access to certain features of the Services.
HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Brief: We process your personal information to deliver, enhance, and manage our services, communicate with you, ensure security and prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. Additionally, we may process your information for other purposes with your consent.
Our reasons for processing your personal information vary based on your interactions with our services, including:
To safeguard or protect an individual’s vital interests. This includes processing information when necessary to prevent harm or ensure someone’s safety.
WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We process your personal data only when necessary and have a valid legal basis to do so, such as your consent, compliance with laws, fulfilling contractual obligations, protecting your rights, or supporting our legitimate business interests.
For Users in the EU or UK:
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal information:
Consent: Your information is processed if you have provided explicit consent for a particular purpose. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
Legal Obligations: Processing occurs to comply with legal requirements, such as cooperating with law enforcement, defending legal rights, or fulfilling disclosure requirements in legal proceedings.
Vital Interests: We process your data when necessary to protect your vital interests or those of a third party, such as in emergencies or situations involving potential harm to an individual.
For Users in Canada:
We process your personal information with either express or implied consent, depending on the situation. In some exceptional cases, applicable laws allow us to process your information without consent, including when:
It is in the individual’s best interest, and obtaining timely consent is impractical.
Necessary for fraud prevention or investigation.
Required for certain business transactions under specific conditions.
Relevant to assess or resolve an insurance claim (e.g., from a witness statement).
For identifying, communicating with, or assisting next of kin in cases of injury, illness, or death.
There are reasonable grounds to believe the individual is or may be a victim of financial abuse.
Obtaining consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information in cases of law or contract violations.
Compliance with a subpoena, court order, or similar legal requirement.
It pertains to employment, business, or professional data aligned with its original purpose.
The collection is for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.

When Using Google Maps Platform APIs: Certain information may be shared with Google Maps Platform APIs (e.g., Google Maps API, Places API) to enhance location-based services. Google Maps relies on GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers for location estimation. While GPS is accurate within about 20 meters, Wi-Fi and cell towers improve accuracy when GPS signals are weak (e.g., indoors). These data points help provide accurate directions but may not always be precise.
DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
No, we do not use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information about your interaction with our Services at present but in the future we will use them.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We retain your information only as long as necessary to meet the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or as required by law.
We store personal information for as long as it is needed to achieve the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice. If a longer retention period is legally mandated (e.g., for tax or accounting requirements), we comply accordingly.
When there is no ongoing legitimate business need to process our data, we will delete or anonymize it. If deletion or anonymization is not possible (e.g., due to backup archives), personal information will be securely stored and isolated from further processing until deletion becomes feasible.
HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We implement robust security measures to safeguard personal information but cannot guarantee absolute security.
We employ technical and organizational security protocols to protect your personal information. However, no Internet transmission or storage technology is entirely secure. As a result, we cannot ensure that unauthorized third parties, such as hackers or cybercriminals, will never bypass our safeguards to improperly access, steal, or alter information.
Although we are committed to safeguarding your personal data, the transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. To maximize security, we recommend accessing the Services within a secure environment.
