• Safe Commute Parent (“Parent App”)
• Safe Commute Driver (“Driver App”)

1. Who We Are

Apps: Safe Commute Parent and Safe Commute Driver

Developer (Google Play listing): Aladdin App

Privacy contact email: junaid@pkteam.com

Safe Commute is a school commute tracking service.

The Parent App is for parents and guardians. It lets you create an account, add your child’s commute details, view assigned driver and shift information, receive pick-up/drop-off alerts, and see trip progress on a map.

The Driver App is for drivers/operators. It lets you create an account, add vehicle and shift details, scan/add passengers, start and stop shifts, share live trip location with assigned parents, send pick-up/drop-off alerts, and send SOS/emergency alerts.

For privacy questions, consent questions, data access requests, or account/data deletion, email junaid@pkteam.com from your registered email address. Please say whether your request is for the Parent App, the Driver App, or both.

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the data needed to provide the Apps’ features.

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number

Parent App: Child profiles you add, including child’s name, date of birth, school name, school address, school pick-up and drop-off times, child photo, and QR code information used to link the child to an assigned driver/trip.

Driver App: Passenger/child details needed for an assigned trip after a QR scan or passenger add, such as passenger/child name, school name and address, school timing, photo (if provided), and trip/passenger status.

This information is used only to operate the assigned school commute.

c) Vehicle and Shift Information (Driver App)

e) Location Data

Parent App:

• Your device’s approximate and precise location, when you grant permission, so the App can show your position on the map together with the driver’s trip location
• Driver location provided by the Safe Commute service so you can view live trip progress
• The Parent App does not collect your location in the background when the App is closed. Location is used while you are using map/tracking features.

Driver App:

• Approximate and precise device location
• Ongoing location updates during an active shift, including while the App is running in the background or not in active use, so assigned parents can track the commute in real time

Location is used only to provide commute tracking. We do not use location for advertising.

f) Photos and Camera (Both Apps)

• Photos you choose from your gallery or take with the camera for profile pictures
• Camera access to generate or scan QR codes used to link children/passengers to trips

g) Emergency/SOS Data (Driver App)

If a driver uses SOS, we collect the emergency message selected, for example tire puncture, traffic delay, vehicle not working, or passenger missing, and send it to relevant parents/users in the service.

h) Device, Notifications, and App Data (Both Apps)

We do not use personal data for third-party advertising or ad tracking.

We do not use collected data for unrelated purposes.

5. Location Data, Including Background Location (Google Play Disclosure)

Live commute tracking is a core feature of Safe Commute.

Parent App

• We access approximate and precise location only after you grant permission.
• Your location is used to show “Your Location” on the map during tracking.
• Driver location is received from our service so you can see trip progress.
• The Parent App does not collect location in the background when the App is closed.
• You can deny or later revoke location permission in your device settings.
• If location is turned off, map/live-tracking may not work, but you can still use other account features.

Driver App

What we collect:

• Approximate location
• Precise location
• Location while the App is in use
• Location in the background while a commute/shift tracking feature is active, even if you are not actively looking at the App

Why we collect it:

• To send the driver’s current latitude and longitude to our servers during an active shift
• So assigned parents can see the vehicle’s trip progress in the Parent App
• To support school commute safety and on-time pick-up/drop-off tracking

When it is collected:

Location is requested after the driver grants permission. During an active shift, the Driver App may continue collecting and uploading location updates, including in the background, so tracking remains accurate for parents.

Driver control:

• You can deny location permission.
• You can later revoke location or background location permission in Android settings.
• If location or background location is turned off, live tracking for parents will not work correctly, but other account features may still be available.

We do not sell location data.

We do not use location data for advertising.

We do not collect background location for any purpose other than providing live school-commute tracking to assigned parents.

6. Children’s Information

The Parent App is intended for parents and guardians, not for children to use as the primary account holder.

The Driver App is intended for adult drivers/operators.

Child information is provided by a parent/guardian so the school commute can be tracked. Drivers may see passenger/child details needed to complete an assigned trip. We do not knowingly allow children to create parent or driver accounts.

We do not use children’s information for advertising.

We do not sell children’s information.

If you believe a child’s data was submitted without proper parental authority, or is shown in error, email junaid@pkteam.com and we will delete it.

7. Sharing and Third Parties

We share data only as needed to operate the Apps:

• Our hosting/API servers, to provide accounts, child/passenger profiles, vehicle/shift records, trips, and tracking
• Assigned drivers and assigned parents in the Safe Commute service, only as needed for an assigned trip, for example child/passenger name, school details, trip status, driver/vehicle details, live location during an active shift, and SOS alerts
• Google Maps / Google location services, to display maps and directions in the Parent App
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), to send push notifications
• Google Play Billing, to process and validate in-app subscriptions in the Parent App

We do not share personal data with third parties for their independent marketing.

We confirm that any third party with whom we share user data is required to provide the same or equal protection of that data as described in this Privacy Policy and as required by the Google Play User Data policy.

Google’s own privacy policy also applies to Google services used by the Apps:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

8. Payments

Premium subscriptions in the Parent App on Android are processed by Google Play Billing.

We do not receive or store your full Google account password or full payment card number.

Google Play’s terms and privacy policy also apply to payment processing.

The Driver App does not process in-app purchases.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable industry-standard measures to protect personal and sensitive user data, including:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit
• Authenticated API requests
• Restricted server access
• On-device storage of session information

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

10. Data Retention

We keep account, child/passenger, vehicle, shift, trip, location, and related records while your account is active and as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, and comply with law.

Live location updates are used to provide current trip tracking.

Push notification tokens are kept while notifications are enabled.

Local device data is removed when you uninstall an App, but uninstalling an App does not automatically delete your server-side account.

When you request account deletion, we delete associated personal data from production systems, except where we must retain limited records for security, fraud prevention, accounting, or legal obligations.

11. Your Choices, Consent, and Deletion

You may:

• Access or update profile, child, vehicle, and shift information in the relevant App
• Withdraw consent by turning off location, background location, camera, photos, or notifications in device settings
• Stop using premium features by managing or cancelling your subscription in Google Play (Parent App)
• Request deletion of your account and associated personal data

To request deletion, email junaid@pkteam.com from your registered email. Use the subject “Delete Safe Commute Parent account” or “Delete Safe Commute Driver account”, and ask us to delete your account.

We will process verified deletion requests and remove associated user data rather than only deactivating or freezing the account, except for data we are legally required to keep.

Deleting an App from your device does not automatically delete server-side account data unless you request account deletion.
