Privacy is a substantial concern in today's world, and we want our users to feel safe
Nowadays, most people are aware of the significant privacy issues and developments in cybersecurity over the past two decades that have changed the internet landscape. Our keys to success are to protect users and their data, share exactly how their data is used, and are transparent with our users.
Privacy Policy
Levro’s main priority is protecting users’ rights and data while ensuring they feel safe using our application. We understand that big tech companies have had privacy and data leaks over the years. We want to address how user location and personal data are used upfront to confirm users don’t hesitate to download Levro and share their location. We can guarantee that no personal information or location data will be shared or sold to third parties. We will not share this information with anyone outside the users’ friend group. While users’ public feed has reviews and recommendation requests from people they’re not friends with and don’t follow, they will be unaware of whom they are sharing their posts with other than knowing it is going to relevant parties.
​
Levro collects data from users to provide them with the most straightforward experience possible. We want to make sure that the content delivered is relevant, helps users connect with their friends, see the places their friends have visited, and ask the most pertinent people for recommendations while enjoying our services.
User Location Sharing
Levro uses Bluetooth beacons, geofencing, GPS, and WiFi that make several of our core features operational. We ask users to opt-in when prompted if they'd like to share their location during the signup process. Opting in helps Levro automatically check users in when they enter an establishment while assisting with the 'Nearby Friends' feature. Users must opt into location sharing to have a seamless experience while using the application. Our goal is to make it so that users don't even have to take their phones out of their pockets whenever they enter a location.
We want users to know what we can view when they share their location and how we utilize it for their benefit. Levro can see users' locations if they enable location sharing. While that may sound daunting given the history of other major tech companies, what Levro can see is different than what users' friends and followers see. The only time a user's current location is shared is with the 'Nearby Friends' feature. This feature allows users to see all of their friends within the current focus of their map. It does not share the exact location with anyone, and it simply puts all of a user's friends on a list relative to the current focus of the map. The list will change if the user were to zoom out or in. The only other time the user's location is shared is when they check in somewhere. These check-ins are not the user's current location but in the past.
Transparency
Transparency is an essential principle at Levro. Not only do we use it with one another within the company, but we want to be transparent with users as well. We believe there is a severe lack of corporation-to-consumer communication in the 21st century. Many times a year, there are issues with privacy leaks, immoral uses of user data, and more. We want users to trust that we are creating a fantastic product and will not manipulate how we utilize their data. Location sharing is a vital aspect of Levro and will simplify the user experience, and we want to be upfront and clear on how it is used.
​
We have big plans and expect Levro to be a global renown brand in the next few years. What is most important during this time is that we are transparent with the users as we continue to grow. We want to be transparent with users, but we want them to be transparent with us as well. How will we be using your data? How can we improve the product? Do you feel safe with how your data is being used? Are there any new features you believe we can add? Having an open dialogue with the consumer will ensure that we deliver the best product to you.
