Privacy Policy for 'Boot It Out'

Last Updated: September 26, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how 'Boot It Out' (the "App") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

1. Information We Collect

The 'Boot It Out' app is designed to collect anonymous data related to reported abuse cases. We do not collect any personal information that can directly identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, or device identifiers.

The types of anonymous data we collect include:

• Reported Abuse Case Data: Information related to the nature of the abuse being reported. This may include categories or types of abuse selected by the user.
• Approximate Location Data: We collect the location as defined by the anonymous user at the time of the report. This location data is collected in an aggregated and anonymized form, such that it cannot be linked back to an individual user. We do not collect precise GPS coordinates.
• Descriptive Text of the Alleged Abuser: Any text you provide describing the alleged abuser is collected. This text is processed to remove any potentially identifiable information through automated anonymization techniques where possible. We strongly advise against including personal names, addresses, or other direct identifiers in this descriptive text.

2. How We Use the Information

The anonymous data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• Aggregated Trend Analysis: To identify patterns, trends, and hotspots of reported abuse. This helps us understand the prevalence and types of abuse in different areas.
• Improving Awareness and Prevention: The aggregated data helps inform public awareness campaigns, educational initiatives, and prevention strategies for abuse.
• Reporting (Anonymized): We may share aggregated and anonymized statistical reports with relevant organizations, researchers, or authorities to aid in their efforts to combat abuse. These reports will never contain any information that could identify an individual user or abuser.

3. How We Share Information

We do not share any data that could identify you personally with any third parties.

We may share aggregated and anonymized data (which does not identify any individual) with:

• Research Institutions: To support academic research on abuse trends and prevention.
• Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Charities: To assist them in their work to combat abuse and support victims.
• Governmental Agencies (in aggregate): To provide insights into abuse patterns for policy development and resource allocation.

4. Data Security

We are committed to ensuring the security of your data. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the anonymous data we collect against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain anonymous data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Once the data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or further anonymized.

6. Your Choices

Since we do not collect personal information, there are no user accounts or personal profiles to manage. The data you submit is anonymous. If you do not wish to contribute anonymous data, you can simply choose not to use the 'Boot It Out' app.

7. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with information, please contact us.

8. 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 on this page. 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.
