1. What Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

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

• Username (max 20 characters, changeable twice 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)

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

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 progression
• Maintain your online status via heartbeat pings

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

• "While Using the App" C"BB Required for foreground tracking
• "Always Allow" C"BB 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).

When you interact with friends, we collect and store:

• Friend requests you send and receive (username and status: pending, accepted, declined)

Privacy Controls for Friends: Your garage and modifications visibility is controlled by your profile privacy setting: Public, Friends Only, or Private.
