Global Privacy Commitment: Across the gRQL ecosystem, user privacy and data sovereignty are fundamental principles. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We handle all data under strict security controls in full compliance with Google Play Developer Policies, Apple App Store Review Guidelines, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and applicable international data protection laws.

2. Information and Data We Collect

We only collect data that is strictly necessary, relevant, and proportional to deliver the core functionalities of our applications and services:

A. Information You Provide Directly to Us
  • Account & Profile Information: Full name, email address, contact phone number, access credentials (stored exclusively via salted one-way cryptographic hashing), avatar or profile picture.
  • User-Generated Content: Listings, module and service descriptions, attached images, catalogs, user preferences, and messages sent via in-app forms or communication channels.
  • Support & Communications: Messages, feedback, inquiries, or incident reports sent directly to our support team.
B. Geographic Location Data (Geolocation)

For applications within the gRQL ecosystem that incorporate location-based features:

  • Foreground Location (Precise and Coarse): Requested explicitly and used strictly while the app is active in the foreground for purposes such as:
    • Displaying interactive maps and discovering nearby resources, services, or points of interest relative to your position.
    • Allowing users to pin exact geographic coordinates or define coverage areas.
    • Calculating operational distances and routes within the application.
  • Transparency: We do not track background location without explicit user permission and a clear functional justification. Geolocation data is never shared with third parties for behavioral advertising.
C. Camera and Media Storage Access (Photos, Gallery & Files)
  • Camera: Requested only when the user decides to capture a live photo or scan codes in real-time for profile customization, post attachments, or in-app validations.
  • Photo Library / Gallery / Storage: Access is limited exclusively to the specific media files that the user manually selects to attach to their profile or listings. Our apps do not access, scan, or index other private media files on your device.
D. Technical and Automatically Collected Data
  • Device Specifications: Hardware manufacturer, device model, operating system version (Android / iOS), anonymous installation identifier, and system language settings.
  • Push Notification Tokens: Tokens provided by notification dispatchers (such as Firebase Cloud Messaging or Apple Push Notification service) to deliver operational alerts, account notices, and essential updates.
  • Diagnostic and Performance Logs: Anonymous crash reports (Crashlytics) and stability metrics used to detect technical bugs and optimize app reliability.
  • IP Address & Security Logs: Temporarily recorded for network security, abuse prevention, session integrity, and fraud deterrence.

3. Device Permissions (Android & iOS)

Our applications request only the minimum system permissions necessary for their core operations:

Permission (Android / iOS) Purpose & Justification
