# Privacy Policy — PrepFamily

**Last updated: April 3, 2026**

## Introduction

PrepFamily ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting 
your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your 
information when you use our app.

## Information We Collect

**Information you provide:**
- Your name (used locally to identify you in the family group)
- Emergency contacts (stored locally on your device)
- Family group code (a randomly generated code, no personal data)

**Information collected automatically:**
- Location data (GPS) — only when you enable location sharing. 
  Your location is shared exclusively with your family group 
  via Apple iCloud and is never sold or shared with third parties.

## How We Use Your Information

- To show your family members your check-in status and location
- To send SOS alerts within your family group
- To display an anonymous count of active users (city/country 
  level only, no personal data)

## Data Storage

All personal family data is stored on your device and synced 
privately through Apple iCloud (CloudKit). We do not operate 
our own servers. Your data is protected by Apple's security 
and privacy standards.

## Third-Party Services

PrepFamily uses Apple iCloud/CloudKit for data synchronization. 
Apple's privacy policy applies: https://www.apple.com/privacy/

PrepFamily uses Apple StoreKit for in-app purchases. No payment 
information is stored by us.

## Location Data

Location sharing is entirely opt-in. You can disable it at any 
time in the app settings. Location data is only shared with 
members of your family group and is not accessible to us.

## Children's Privacy

PrepFamily is not directed at children under 13. We do not 
knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

## Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to processing of your data

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

## Data Deletion

Since all data is stored on your device and in your personal 
iCloud account, you can delete all data by:
1. Deleting the app from your device
2. Removing the app's iCloud data in iOS Settings → 
   [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage
