This Privacy Policy explains how JCAccountingCPA, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the PatrolGuide AI mobile application (“App”). We designed PatrolGuide AI to work without creating an account and without asking for your name or email.
By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
We do not ask you to provide personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number. However, certain data may be collected automatically, primarily through third-party services we use to show ads and to understand app performance.

*“Tracking” refers to cross-app or cross-site tracking as defined by Apple. See App Tracking Transparency below.
We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements. AdMob may collect device identifiers, approximate location (derived from IP), usage, and performance data. AdMob’s use of data is governed by Google’s policies.
On iOS, if we wish to use your device’s identifier for personalized advertising, Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt will ask for your permission. If you deny permission, the App will serve non-personalized ads and your data will not be used for cross-app tracking by us. You can change this any time at:

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. Third-party retention periods (e.g., Google) are governed by their policies.
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it. If you intend to use the App for child-directed audiences, you must enable AdMob’s child-directed settings.
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on your consent (for personalized ads), our legitimate interests (analytics, basic ad delivery), and/or compliance with legal obligations as legal bases for processing.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Depending on your location (e.g., EEA/UK, California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your request.
We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top indicates the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted within the App or on this page.
