Automatic Passenger Notifications: The app automatically alerts parents when you enter proximity zones—no manual texting required.

🚨 IMPORTANT POLICY & LOCATION TRANSPARENCY DECLARATION: To ensure continuous safety monitoring when the driver is on active duty, this app collects precise location data to enable real-time tracking and proximity alerts.

Background Access: Location data is fetched even when the app is closed, running in the background, or when the screen is locked.
Driver Visibility: Tracking is only active when the driver explicitly starts a trip. A persistent status bar notification is continuously displayed while location fetching is active.
User Consent: Location sharing will only begin after the driver explicitly accepts the in-app disclosure and grants the necessary location permissions.
