Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you create an account, submit a case, or send a tip. This includes contact details, case information, any supporting media you upload, and — as described below — your location.

Location Data

The Project Aziz mobile app collects precise (GPS) location data from your device, and from any Aziz Node field hardware you pair with your account, in order to power My Aziz Network:

• Your device (and any linked Aziz Node hardware) periodically reports your GPS coordinates while the app is running, including while it's in the background, so the people in your Aziz Network can see your position on the map;
• Anyone you have accepted into your Aziz Network — or who shares a Network Group with you — can see your most recent reported position;
• Subscribers to Aziz Network Premium (and platform administrators) can additionally view up to 30 days of movement history for members of their network;
• On iOS and Android, the operating system also requires location permission simply to scan for nearby Bluetooth hardware (your Aziz Node) — this is a platform requirement, not something we use to track you separately;
• A "last seen" location entered on a missing person case is separate from this — it's a manually entered detail about the case, not tracked device location.

Location history may be retained on our servers for longer than the 30-day window shown in the app, for operational and security purposes.

You control this data: you can deny or revoke location permission for the app at any time in your device settings, which stops location sharing immediately; you can remove any person from your Aziz Network at any time, which immediately cuts off their access to your position; and you can request deletion of your location history, or of your account entirely, at privacy@projectaziz.com.
