Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you use Spotimization, we collect the following information:

• Name and Email: Your name and email address when you create an account
• Location Data: Your approximate GPS location to match you with nearby parking spots
• Vehicle Information: Vehicle make, model, color, and license plate number you provide
• Parking Schedule: Information about when you typically arrive and depart
• Usage Data: How you interact with the platform, including match history

2. How We Use Your Information

• To match you with nearby parking spots and other members
• To send notifications about available spots and match confirmations
• To improve our matching algorithm and platform features
• To communicate with you about your account and service updates
• To enforce our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your information only with your consent or as necessary to provide the service. Other members will see only your username, vehicle description, and general location for matching purposes. We may share data with service providers (hosting, analytics) who are bound by confidentiality agreements.

4. Location Data

GPS location data is used exclusively for matching you with nearby parking spots. Your precise location is anonymized after processing by rounding to three decimal places (approximately 111 meter resolution). We do not store your precise location history. You may disable location services at any time, though this may affect matching accuracy.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. After account deletion, we retain anonymized data for analytics purposes and may retain certain information as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent for location tracking
• Opt out of non-essential communications
