- Geolocation & Proximity Telemetry: Precise device coordinates (GPS) when searching for nearby lockers and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) RSSI signal measurements used strictly to establish physical proximity (within 1 ft) before transmitting door unlock pulses.
- Hardware & Locker Telemetry: Assigned compartment numbers, tower serial identifiers, carrier tracking barcodes, and timestamped logs of door unlatching and sensor states.
- Diagnostic & Crash Logs: Device model, operating system version, app version, BLE connection errors, and hardware status logs to maintain platform security.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data solely for legitimate operational purposes:
- To locate, reserve, authenticate, and actuate smart parcel locker doors.
- To send transactional delivery notifications, access codes, and door status alerts via SMS and push notifications.

3. Third-Party Data Sharing & Disclosure
