Withie ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your personal information when you use the Withie mobile application (the "App").
1. Information We Collect
To provide our couple-sharing features, we collect the following information:
- Account Information: Email address, nickname, and profile picture.
- Couple Content: Photos (4-cut photos, moments), anniversary dates, and messages shared between you and your paired partner.
- Location Data: To calculate and display the distance between you and your partner, we collect your GPS location data.
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers for app functionality and notifications.
2. Detailed Location Tracking Policy
Withie requires "Always Allow" location permission to provide real-time distance updates between partners. However, we strictly limit collection to protect your privacy and battery:
- Foreground: While the App is open and active, we check your location approximately every 5 minutes.
- Background: If the App is moved to the background, we continue to check your location for a maximum of 30 minutes.
- Automatic Stop: After 30 minutes in the background, all location tracking strictly stops until you reopen the App.
- Purpose: This data is used solely to show the distance between paired partners and is never shared with third parties or used for advertising.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the App's features.
- Facilitate the sharing of photos and moments between you and your partner.
- Calculate and display the distance between partners.
- Send push notifications (e.g., when your partner uploads a new moment).
