CiviQ – Gatekeepers ("we," "our," "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you use our mobile application ("App").

By using the CiviQ – Gatekeepers App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Automatically collected information may include:

4. Data Retention

We retain gate operation and visitor data for as long as required by the respective community's policies or applicable regulations. Personal data linked to your account is kept until you request deletion or your employment/assignment ends.

5. Data Security

We use appropriate security measures—such as encryption, access control, and secure storage—to safeguard collected information. While we strive for full protection, no system can guarantee absolute security.

8. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate third-party tools (e.g., notification or cloud storage services). These providers follow their own privacy policies, and we recommend reviewing those separately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be communicated through the App, and the "Last Updated" date will reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of any changes.
