Location Data Collection Our app collects location data to enable key features such as field trip tracking, attendance management, and geofencing. Location data is collected under the following scenarios: * Field Trips: To track participants' real-time location during field trips for safety and coordination. Background location tracking stops automatically when the field trip ends. * Attendance Management: To verify your location when marking attendance and ensure compliance with location-specific attendance policies. * Geofencing: To determine when you enter or leave predefined areas for attendance or operational purposes. How We Use Your Location Data * In Background: Location data is collected in the background during active field trips or geofencing tasks to ensure accurate tracking. Once the field trip ends or geofencing tasks are completed, background tracking is disabled. * Data Storage: Location data is securely stored on our servers and is only used for the purposes mentioned above. Your Rights * Permission Management: You can manage or revoke location permissions via your device settings. Note that disabling location access may limit app functionality. * Data Retention: Location data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the services provided and is deleted when no longer needed. Third-Party Access We do not sell your location data to third parties. However, we may use third-party services (e.g., geolocation APIs) to process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.

We do not track or collect location data in the background outside of active field trips.
