1. What Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

Account Registration: When you create an account, we collect:

Username (max 20 characters, changeable once per 3 months)
Email address
Profile image/avatar (uploaded by you)
Password (encrypted)

Apple Sign In: If you sign in with Apple, we receive:

Name (optional)
Email address or private relay email (if you hide your real email)

We use this only to create and authenticate your account. We do not receive your Apple ID password.

Vehicle/Garage Data: When you add vehicles to your garage, we collect:

Vehicle make, model, and year
Vehicle photos you upload
Modification list and categories

1.2 Location Data (Automatically Collected)

Exit51 continuously collects your precise GPS location to provide core app features.

Collection Methods:

Foreground Tracking: When the App is open, we continuously collect your latitude, longitude, speed, and location accuracy
Background Tracking: When the App runs in the background (if you granted permission), we collect your location every 30 seconds
Geofence Tracking: We monitor a rolling geofence around your location to detect when you explore new map tiles

Location Uses:

Display your real-time position on the map to friends you have accepted
Calculate routes and ETAs during Convoy sessions
Track explored map tiles for game progression
Maintain your online status (via "heartbeat" pings)

Location Permissions: Exit51 will request two location permissions from iOS:

"While Using the App" - Required for foreground tracking
"Always Allow" - Optional for background location tracking while the App is minimized

You can revoke these permissions at any time in iOS Settings (Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Exit51). Revoking permissions will stop all location tracking.

Location Sharing Control (Ghost Mode): You can disable all location sharing by enabling Ghost Mode in Map Settings. When Ghost Mode is active:

Your location is NOT sent to our servers
Your location is NOT visible to any friends
Your speed is NOT recorded for leaderboards

1.3 Friend & Social Data

When you interact with friends, we collect and store:

Friend requests you send and receive (username and status: pending, accepted, declined)
Friend list (usernames of accepted friends)
Friend locations (real-time lat/lng of mutual friends)
Friend's explored tiles (map areas your friends have visited)
Online status (last-seen timestamp)

Privacy Controls for Friends: Your garage and modifications visibility is controlled by your profile privacy setting:

Public: Everyone can see your garage and modifications
Friends Only: Only accepted friends can see your garage and modifications
Private: No one can see your garage or modifications
