Data Privacy Policy for Debre Berhan University Route Finder App

Effective Date: [October 05, 2024]


1. Introduction

Welcome to the Debre Berhan University Route Finder App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled responsibly. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data.


2. Information We Collect

The Debre Berhan University Route Finder App may utilize location services, but it does not collect or share any location information. The app offers three options for starting routes:

  • From the main entrance of the university
  • From designated buildings found within the university
  • From the user's current position (location information is only used in this scenario)

3. Use of Location Information

Optional Use: The use of precise and coarse location information is entirely optional and only utilized when the user selects the option to start routing from their current position. No Data Collection: The app does not collect or share any location data or personal information beyond what is necessary to provide routing functionality only for the option mentioned above in section 2.


4. Data Usage

The app uses links that are opened in an external browser rather than a webview. This means that: We do not track your browsing activity or collect any data from your web sessions. The app does not collect or share any kind of data beyond the use of location information for routing purposes.


5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Since we do not collect personal data, our focus remains on ensuring the security of the app itself.


6. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to: Opt-out of location services at any time. Use the app without providing location information by selecting the alternative routing options.


7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Data Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
