Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Ease My Place (“we” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, and any other information you provide when you contact us or interact with our Service. We may also automatically collect certain information about your device, browsing actions, and usage patterns.

2. Google Maps/Places APIs

Our Service uses the Google Maps/Places APIs to provide location-based information and functionality. By using this Service, you agree to allow us to obtain and cache location data (where permitted by Google’s Terms) from Google Maps/Places APIs. We handle such data in accordance with Google’s data usage restrictions and our caching policies. We do not store this data beyond what is permissible under the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service.

3. Use of AI Summaries

We employ an AI-based Large Language Model (LLM) to analyze user reviews from Google and other sources. This model creates positive and negative bullet-point summaries that we present on our platform. While the model processes the text for transformation, we do not permanently store or associate these transformed outputs with any specific user’s personal data.

4. Incorporation by Reference: Google Privacy Policy

When you use our Service, you are also subject to the Google Privacy Policy, which describes how Google collects and processes information. Please review this policy for more details on how Google uses data collected via its Maps/Places APIs.

5. How We Use Your Information

We may use your personal information to:

  • Provide and maintain our Service.
  • Analyze usage and trends to improve our AI-driven summaries.
  • Respond to your inquiries, comments, or feedback.
  • Comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited situations:

  • Service Providers: With vendors who assist us in operating our Service and who have agreed to keep this information confidential.
  • Legal Compliance: If required by law or in response to a valid request by public authorities.
  • Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We do not retain Google Maps data beyond what is permissible under Google’s Terms of Service.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to collect information about your interactions with our Service. This helps us analyze traffic and improve user experiences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but some features of our Service may not function properly without them.

9. Security Measures

We implement reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no security system is foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or other age as required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such data.

11. International Data Transfers

Our servers may be located in jurisdictions different from your own. By using our Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to such jurisdictions, which may have different data protection rules than your country.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, when appropriate, by other means.
