2. CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND PROCESS

To provide our services, authenticate users, deliver navigation features, and predict border crossing wait times, we process the following categories of personal data:

A. Account Authentication Data (Google Sign-In)

• Data Types: Google OAuth Profile Data (specifically: account name, primary email address, and Google Account ID / OAuth Token).
• Purpose & Usage: Creating and authenticating your user account, securing system endpoints, identifying user sessions, and processing user requests (such as account deletion under Art. 17 GDPR).

B. Precise Location & Navigation Data (GPS)

• Data Types: Precise geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude), speed, bearing/heading, altitude, and associated timestamps.
• Purpose & Usage:
• Route Guidance: Assistance in choosing the best possible route from user’s location to the destination through existent EU-Belarus border crossing points (CPPs).
• Border Queue Analytics & Forecasting: Detecting vehicle arrival/movement in designated border checkpoint queue zones, tracking velocity, and calculating real-time estimated crossing times.
• Foreground & Background Processing: Location tracking operates actively in the foreground while using the app. Background location tracking operates when enabled by the user to allow continuous queue monitoring while the device screen is locked or the app is minimized.
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Explicit consent provided by the user via onboarding screens and OS device permission prompts.

C. Technical Identifiers & Device Telemetry

• Data Types: Device model, operating system version, mobile network status, Push notification tokens (Firebase Cloud Messaging - FCM), and temporary session tokens.
• Purpose & Usage: Delivering push notifications (e.g., queue updates and navigation alerts), maintaining session security, preventing location spoofing, and ensuring system stability.
• Legal basis: Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Maintaining server infrastructure integrity, preventing fraudulent GPS manipulation, and mitigating security threats.

D. User Feedback Data (Optional)

• Data Types: Optional user-submitted reports regarding app performance or border conditions, wait durations which could help us to improve the prognostic capabilities of the app.
• Purpose & Usage: Processed strictly for app improvement and predictive algorithm enhancement. Feedback is kept internal and is never published or shared publicly.
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Feedback is voluntary and serves as the means of communication between us and users.
