Privacy Policy
SP Route Mobile Application
Effective Date: April 1, 2026
Registered address: Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic
Email: general@smartpoint.kg
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how "Smart Point Solutions" LLC ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data in the SP Route mobile application ("Application").
SP Route is designed for drivers and logistics partners and is used for executing delivery routes and real-time shipment tracking.
By installing or using the Application, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the Application.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the data necessary to operate logistics functionality.
2.1 Data Provided by the User
- Phone number — used for authentication via one-time verification code (OTP).
2.2 Location Data
The Application requests the following Android permissions related to location:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION | Precise GPS tracking during active use of the Application (foreground). |
| ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION | Continuous GPS tracking when the Application is minimized or the screen is locked, required for real-time driver tracking during route execution. |
Background location is only collected during active route execution. This is a core feature of the Application without which route tracking is impossible.
2.3 Camera Data
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| CAMERA | Scanning QR codes to confirm shipment pickup and delivery. No video is recorded. No images are stored beyond the moment of scanning. |
2.4 Device and Technical Data
- FCM token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) — for push notifications only; does not allow user identification without backend access.
- Device type and OS version
- App version
- IP address — may be recorded server-side as part of standard network communication; it is not explicitly collected or stored by the Application itself
- Session logs — may be generated server-side for security and diagnostics purposes
- Crash and diagnostic data (via Firebase Crashlytics)
Technical data is collected only while the Application is in use or during active route execution.
2.5 Route and Delivery Data
- Route assignments
- Status of delivery points
- Arrival and completion timestamps
- Task execution data
3. Purpose of Data Processing
We use collected data exclusively for:
- Route navigation and optimization
- Real-time tracking of drivers by logistics operators
- Assignment and management of delivery routes
- Confirmation of pickup and delivery operations (QR scanning)
- User authentication via OTP
- Sending push notifications (route updates, task assignments)
- Ensuring service security and fraud prevention
- Improving application performance and crash diagnostics
We do NOT sell personal data.
We do NOT use data for advertising, profiling, or marketing.
The Application does not display advertisements.
4. Background Location — Important Disclosure
Background location enables:
- Continuous tracking of driver movement during active routes
- Real-time delivery progress visibility for logistics coordinators
- Accurate estimation of arrival times at delivery points
- Monitoring of route compliance
Background location is collected only during active route execution via a Foreground Service, which is activated when the driver starts a route assignment.
Background location collection STOPS when the route is completed or the driver manually ends the session.
Background location is used exclusively during active work sessions initiated by the user and is not collected outside of active route execution.
Before requesting background location permission, the Application will display an in-app disclosure explaining the purpose of this permission. You must explicitly grant ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION for the core functionality to work.
You can disable background location at any time:
- Device Settings → Apps → SP Route → Permissions → Location → set to "Only while using the app" or "Deny"
Disabling background location will prevent real-time route tracking and may disable core features of the Application.
5. Data Sharing
We share data only with the following parties and only when necessary:
| Recipient | Data Shared | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| SP Linker backend (SmartPoint infrastructure) | Location, route, delivery, authentication data | Core platform operation and data storage |
