Privacy Policy for Green Sports

Effective Date: August 15, 2026

Applicable Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

At Green Sports, we are dedicated to protecting your personal data and privacy while helping you explore parks, gardens, public grounds, and open recreational spaces across Mumbai. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and location services.

1. Information We Collect

To enable real-time discovery of nearby gardens (such as Hanging Gardens, Shivaji Park, or local BMC municipal parks) and calculate accurate directions across Mumbai, we collect:

  • Precise Location Data (Essential):

    • Live GPS & Network Location: With your explicit permission, we access your device’s precise GPS coordinates to identify nearby parks, sports amenities, and open grounds relative to your exact location in Mumbai, offering instant walking or driving directions.

    • Approximate Location: If precise GPS access is disabled, we may use network/IP-based location to display general green spaces within your ward or suburb (e.g., Bandra, South Mumbai, Andheri).

  • App Usage & Search Data: Information about how you interact with Green Sports, such as search queries for specific parks or amenities, features accessed, time spent on map views, and crash diagnostics.

  • Device & Connection Information: Basic hardware and software details, including device model, operating system version, screen resolution, and network type.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your location and usage data strictly to deliver and improve our local Mumbai green space discovery services:

  • Location-Based Services: Instantly locate municipal gardens, playgrounds, and open grounds near your current spot and compute turn-by-turn routes.

  • Service Optimization: Improve app performance, refine search relevance, and update map accuracy for public parks and amenities.

  • User Support: Assist you with app troubleshooting, feature requests, or technical inquiries.

  • Platform Security: Prevent fraudulent usage, abuse, or unauthorized access to our mapping services.

3. Location Data Handling & User Control

Given that Green Sports relies on location services for its core functionality:

  • Active Tracking: Location services are primarily active when you use the app to browse local spaces or request directions.

  • Note: Disabling location access will prevent Green Sports from automatically detecting nearby Mumbai gardens from your current spot.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or trade your location history or personal details to third parties or advertisers. We only share necessary data in the following situations:

  • Mapping & API Providers: We integrate with third-party map and navigation providers (such as Google Maps API or Apple Maps) to display map tiles and calculate routes in Mumbai. Your interaction with map components is governed by the respective provider’s privacy policy.

  • Cloud Infrastructure Providers: We use trusted cloud hosting and data analytics partners bound by strict data protection agreements.

  • Legal & Regulatory Compliance: We may disclose information if required by Indian law, legal proceedings, or court orders to protect the rights, safety, and property of Green Sports, our users, or the public.

5. Security & Data Retention

  • Data Protection: We use standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/SSL) during data transmission to protect your real-time location data from interception.

  • Retention Limits: We retain location data only as long as necessary to provide navigation and service functionality. Aggregated or anonymized location trends (which cannot identify individual users) may be maintained longer to improve local area recommendations.

6. Your Data Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

  • Access & Review: Request details about the data collected during your app usage.

  • Data Correction & Deletion: Request correction of inaccurate information or deletion of stored app preferences.

  • Revoke Permissions: Turn off location tracking directly from your smartphone settings at any time.

7. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to align with new app features or regulatory updates in India. Any changes will be published here with an updated Effective Date at the top of the policy.
