We collect the following data when you use the App:
Location Data: We collect your device’s location in the background to provide core functionality, even when the app is closed or not in use.

User Information: When you sign in, we collect basic account details (such as email address and user ID) via Firebase Authentication.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
Monitor and store your location and battery information securely.
Improve app performance and user experience.
Back up data securely to the cloud via Firebase.
Notify trusted contacts in special cases (e.g., SOS alerts).
Support internal analytics for service improvements.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third-party marketers.
3. Data Storage and Security
