Privacy Policy — Sama Delivery
Effective date: November 16, 2025
Sama Delivery (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates a mobile application for delivery tracking and operational management. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we store and protect it, and your rights. By using the Sama Delivery app you consent to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Device Identifiers & Push Tokens
We collect device push notification tokens and device identifiers to deliver notifications, support secure sessions, and enable driver communication.
1.2 Account Information
We process login credentials (email/username), a securely stored password (never in plain text), and a user identifier to manage accounts.
1.3 Real-Time Delivery Tracking (Location Data)
When the app is active and the user is logged in as a delivery driver, we collect GPS location data to enable delivery tracking, routing, and proof-of-delivery. We do not track drivers outside delivery operations.
2. How We Use the Data
Your data is used for operational purposes: authenticating users, enabling real-time tracking of active deliveries, sending push notifications, improving delivery accuracy, preventing fraud, and maintaining app security. We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties except as described below.
3. Data Storage
Data is stored on our backend servers and protected using technical and organizational measures. Retention follows our operational, legal, and business requirements; location logs may be deleted periodically.
4. Third-Party Services
We rely on trusted third-party services for parts of our platform. Examples include:
- Firebase (Google LLC) — used for authentication, push notifications, and analytics. See Firebase Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Expo Services — used for push tokens and app delivery. See Expo Privacy Policy: https://expo.dev/privacy
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for delivery operations, legal compliance, and service improvement. Specific retention periods for logs and location data are managed per our internal policies.
6. Your Rights
You may request access to your data, correction or deletion, stop location tracking by stopping delivery operations, or close your account. To exercise these rights contact us using the email below.
7. Children’s Privacy
The app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
8. Data Security
We use HTTPS, secure credential storage, access controls, and monitoring to protect data. No online system is completely secure; users acknowledge residual risk.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update this page with a new effective date.
