Location Data Usage & Handling Policy

1. Purpose of Location Access

Alt DRX Private Limited (“Alt DRX”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) may request access to your device location while you are using the app to help enhance the security and integrity of your account.

Location data is used primarily to:

• detect unusual or potentially unauthorized login activity
• help prevent fraud and misuse of the platform
• support risk and security monitoring controls

We do not use location data for continuous tracking or location-based advertising.

2. When Location Is Collected

Location access is requested only when relevant to security or risk assessment within the app.

Key points:

• Location is collected only after your permission
• Access occurs while you are actively using the app
• We do not track your location in the background
• Core features of the app remain available if permission is denied (subject to security limitations)

3. What Location Data We Process

Depending on your device settings, we may process limited location information such as:

• approximate or precise location (as permitted by you)
• IP-based location signals
• device and session risk indicators

We collect only the minimum data necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

4. How We Use Location Information

Location data is used strictly for:

• account security and fraud prevention
• detecting suspicious access patterns
• protecting users and the platform from misuse
• complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations

We do not use location data to:

• build location histories
• sell location data
• perform third-party advertising targeting
• track users across other apps or services

5. Storage and Security

We implement reasonable and industry-standard safeguards, including:

• encryption of data in transit using modern TLS
• secure storage controls and access restrictions
• monitoring and logging for unauthorized access attempts

Where feasible, location signals may be stored in minimized or derived form for risk analysis.

6. Data Retention

Location-related data is retained only for as long as necessary to:

• maintain platform security
• comply with legal and regulatory obligations
• investigate fraud or misuse

Retention periods follow our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

7. User Control and Permissions

You remain in control of your location permission at all times.

You may:

• grant or deny location access
• revoke permission anytime via device settings
• continue using most app features without location access (though certain security checks may be limited)

8. Account Deletion and Location Data

If you request account deletion:

• location data associated with your account is deleted or anonymized from active systems
• related telemetry is removed except where retention is required by law
• deletion follows the timelines in our Account Deletion Policy

9. Sharing of Location Data

We do not sell your location data.

Location information may be shared only:

• with trusted service providers strictly necessary for security operations
• when required by applicable law or lawful authority
• as otherwise described in our Privacy Policy

All such parties are contractually required to protect the data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Location Data Usage & Handling Policy periodically. Updates will be reflected by the revised “Last Updated” date.
