Terms & Privacy, in plain language

By installing or using Kinetic Eco Tracker (KET7) you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the app. We may update these terms; continued use means you accept the changes.

KET7 detects activities (walking, running, cycling, driving, EV, motorcycle, train, flight), estimates distance, calories, and CO₂ saved versus a petrol-car baseline, and offers AI-powered eco insights, an opt-in leaderboard, and daily / weekly summaries.

All CO₂, calorie and distance figures are estimates — not for medical, scientific or regulatory use.

You must be at least 13. Users aged 13–18 need parental consent. Anyone under 13 is not permitted to use the app (COPPA).

Sign in with email/password or Google via Firebase Authentication. You're responsible for your credentials. You can delete your account at any time from in-app settings.

• Location — precise GPS during active tracking (background only while a session runs). Raw traces stay on-device; only summaries sync.
• Motion sensors — accelerometer, gyroscope, step counter processed on-device only.
• Optional profile — height, weight, age, sex to refine calorie estimates.
• Session stats — distance, duration, CO₂, calories stored in Firestore under your account.
• Account — email, created/last-login timestamps.
• Diagnostics — anonymised crash and device data via Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics.
• Push token — FCM token if you allow notifications.

To run the core tracking features, refine accuracy on-device, generate AI eco tips (anonymised stats sent to Google Gemini via a Cloud Function), power the opt-in leaderboard, send your daily/weekly summary notifications, and fix bugs.

We do not sell your data. We share only what's needed with Google services: Firebase Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Firebase Messaging, Analytics & Crashlytics, the Gemini API, and Google AdMob.

Foreground & background location, activity recognition, body sensors, foreground service, notifications, internet, boot-completed (auto-resume tracking), and optionally camera (profile photo).

Ads are served by Google AdMob and may use your Advertising ID. You can opt out or reset it from Android Settings → Google → Ads. Ad revenue funds development.

Eco Insight sends anonymised session stats to a Cloud Function that calls the Google Gemini API to generate a personalised tip. No personally identifying information is sent.

Opt-in. Submissions are server-validated to block implausible values. You can leave the leaderboard at any time.

Data is kept while your account is active. Delete individual sessions in-app, or delete your account from Profile → Settings → Delete Account to permanently remove all Firestore data, FCM tokens, leaderboard entries and credentials. Deletion is irreversible.

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and CCPA rights to know and to non-discrimination. Email kineticecotracker@gmail.com — we respond within 30 days.

The app is not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Firestore rules restrict each user to their own data, API keys live server-side, Android backup is disabled, and AI endpoints are rate-limited. No system is 100% secure; we'll notify you of any breach as required by law.

The app is provided "as is". Estimates may be inaccurate and are not medical advice. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages.

All code, design and branding belong to the developer of Kinetic Eco Tracker. You get a personal, non-commercial licence to use the app.

We may revise this document. Material changes will be highlighted in-app.
