Introduction
Welcome to the TireMinder App (“App”), developed by Minder Research and operated by Valterra Products (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our App.
Data We Collect
We may collect and access the following types of data:
- Location Data: We collect your device’s location to enable Bluetooth connection to a peripheral device and provide relevant services. This data is not shared with third parties.
- Notification Data: We send notifications related to tire alerts and other important information. Notifications are based on the App's functionality and user preferences.
Additional Information About Data Collection
Location data is accessed only during active use of the App for Bluetooth connectivity purposes. This data is not stored or shared beyond your device. Notification data is generated based on tire performance and user preferences but is not linked to personally identifiable information.
How We Use Your Data
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- To facilitate Bluetooth connection with peripheral devices.
- To send timely notifications for important alerts related to tire performance.
- To improve the functionality and user experience of the App.
Legal Basis for Data Collection
We process your data under the following legal bases:
- Consent: For accessing location data and sending notifications.
- Performance of a Contract: To provide the App’s core services, including Bluetooth connectivity.
- Legitimate Interest: To improve the functionality and user experience of the App.
Data Sharing and Retention
Your data is not shared with third parties except as required by law. We retain data only as long as necessary to provide the App's services. Once the data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted.
App Permissions
The following permissions are required to provide the App’s services:
- Location Access: To enable Bluetooth connections with peripheral devices.
- Notification Access: To send alerts and updates related to tire performance.
Opt-Out Mechanisms
The TireMinder App requires access to your device's location and the ability to send notifications in order to function as intended. These permissions are essential for:
- Establishing a Bluetooth connection with your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) peripheral device.
- Sending alerts related to tire performance and safety issues.
If you disable location sharing or notifications through your device's settings, the App will cease to function properly and will not be able to provide the intended services. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that these permissions are necessary for the App's core functionality.
