This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect your personal information when you use the STATIC app and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using STATIC, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

STATIC includes optional ride-telemetry features. When — and only when — you actively tap "Start Tracking", we collect:
Location and motion collection stops the moment you end a ride session. We do not run location tracking in the background outside of an active ride session.
If you RSVP to a meet, we may use your device's location to detect whether you have arrived within the host's defined geofence (typically 50–500 metres around the meeting point). This is used to record attendance and unlock voting rights for that meet.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act) such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or sexual orientation.
We use your information to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your personal information for third-party advertising.
The following is visible to other users: your username, avatar, bio, vehicle, reputation, achievements, ride stats, and Instagram handle; events you host; vendor stores and listings you publish; and messages you send (visible only to the recipient).
| Provider | Purpose | Data shared | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Storage, FCM) | Backend infrastructure, auth, database, file storage, push notifications | All account data, profile data, telemetry, messages, images | United States |
| Apple (App Store, push routing) | App distribution and notification delivery | Device push tokens, app crash data | United States |
We may disclose your information where required by law, court order, or to comply with a subpoena or lawful request from law enforcement; investigate suspected violations; or protect the rights, property or safety of STATIC, our users or the public.
If STATIC is acquired or merges with another entity, your information may be transferred to the new owner, subject to this Privacy Policy or a successor policy.
Because we use Google Firebase, your personal information is stored on servers located in the United States and other countries where Google operates data centres. By using STATIC, you acknowledge and consent to this overseas disclosure. We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle your information consistently with the APPs.
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest (provided by Firebase), Firebase Authentication for credential storage, role-based Firestore security rules, and re-authentication required for sensitive actions such as account deletion.
No system is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorised access will never occur.
If we suffer a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner ("OAIC") in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act.
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to:
To exercise these rights, email [ottopenlx@outlook.com]. We will respond within 30 days. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the OAIC at www.oaic.gov.au or by phone on 1300 363 992.
STATIC requests the following iOS permissions. You can grant or revoke these at any time via Settings → STATIC.
The Service will continue to work with reduced functionality if you decline a permission.
STATIC is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we become aware that a user is under 16, we will delete the account and any associated information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [ottovonpen@outlook.com].
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including rights to data portability, erasure, restriction of processing, and to object to processing. Our legal bases for processing are: (a) performance of our contract with you; (b) your consent (for ride telemetry, notifications and similar optional features); (c) our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service; and (d) compliance with legal obligations.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, to request deletion, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top. If the changes are material, we will notify you in-app or by email before they take effect. Your continued use of STATIC after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
