Privacy Policy for ZonePoints

Last Updated: May 7, 2025

Vercer LLC ("us", "we", or "our") operates the ZonePoints mobile application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.  

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.  

Information Collection and Use  

ZonePoints is designed to help you monitor your heart rate during activities. We collect a very limited amount of information, as described below:

• Heart Rate Data:
  
  

  • The app connects via Bluetooth to a compatible heart rate sensor that you provide.

  • With your permission to access Bluetooth and connect to your heart rate sensor, the app collects heart rate data during your active use of the app.

  • This heart rate data is stored exclusively on your mobile device.

  • This data is NOT transmitted to the cloud, is NOT backed up by us, and does NOT leave your phone through our Service.

  • You are in control of this data on your device. If you uninstall the app, this data may be removed, depending on your device's operating system.

• Usage and Performance Data (Firebase Analytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring):
  
  

  • We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring, services provided by Google, to collect anonymous information about how our Service is used and how it performs.

  • This helps us understand app usage patterns (e.g., which features are most popular), identify crashes or performance issues, and improve the overall user experience.

  • The information collected by Firebase may include, but is not limited to, device type, operating system version, app version, session duration, features used, and performance metrics like app launch time and network request latency.

  • This data is aggregated and anonymized and does not personally identify you.

  • For more information on how Firebase collects and processes data, please review Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and the Firebase privacy documentation: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

No User Accounts or Login

ZonePoints does not require users to log in or create an account. Therefore, we do not collect personal information typically associated with user accounts, such as your name, email address, or password.

Data Storage and Backup

As stated above, your heart rate data is stored locally on your device. We do not store this data on our servers, and it is not backed up by Vercer LLC. You are responsible for backing up your own device if you wish to preserve this data.

Use of Data

Vercer LLC uses the collected data for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the core functionality of the Service (i.e., display your heart rate data).

• To monitor the usage and performance of the Service through Firebase Analytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring, allowing us to improve and optimize the app.

• To identify and fix technical issues.

Disclosure of Data

Vercer LLC will not disclose your locally stored heart rate data to any third parties, as it never leaves your device through our Service.

Anonymous and aggregated usage and performance data collected by Firebase may be processed by Google as described in their privacy policies. We do not share any personally identifiable information with Firebase.

We may disclose anonymous, aggregated information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us. Your heart rate data is stored on your device, and its security is dependent on the security of your device. We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect the information collected by Firebase (e.g., through Google's security practices for their services). However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.  

Children's Privacy  

The ZonePoints app is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child under 13 has provided us with personal information (which should not be possible through the app's design as it collects no PII beyond device-level analytics), please contact us. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected Personal Data from children under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our systems if any were to be collected.  

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app or on our website (if applicable).  

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
