Groundwater North Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Groundwater North application ("App") collects, uses, and shares your personal information.

Information We Collect

The App collects the following personal information:

• GPS Location: We collect your GPS location data to help you identify potential groundwater sources in your area.

• Photos: You can capture photos within the App. These photos may contain location data embedded within the image file.

Use of Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• GPS Location: We use your GPS location data to display relevant information about potential groundwater sources on a map on the website.

• Photos: The photos you capture within the App are stored locally on your device and on the website and can be used for your own reference or to share with others outside of the App.

Sharing of Information

We will not share your personal information with any third-party companies or organizations without your consent. However, we may share anonymized or aggregated data on the website for scientific purposes. This anonymized data will not contain any information that can be used to identify you personally.

Security

We take reasonable steps to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet or electronic storage system is 100% secure.

Your Choices

You can control the collection of your GPS location data by turning off location services for the App on your device. You can also choose not to capture photos within the App. But the GPS data is a critical component of the project because we need to know where the bore is located to develop an understanding of groundwater quality across the region. If you do not wish to allow us to have this information, then do not proceed with the activity.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the App.
