Privacy Policy

KSEMAI.com — AI enabled knowledge-driven Smart Ecosystem for Road Safety, by WorldPaveAI

Last updated: 16 August 2026

This policy explains what information KSEMAI collects, why, and what control you have over it. We've tried to write it in plain language rather than dense legal text — if anything here is unclear, the contact details at the end are a genuine way to ask.

The short version: almost everything KSEMAI records about your driving stays on your own phone. Nothing is sold, and there are no targeted ads. A few specific things — described below — are sent to third-party services only to make a feature work (e.g. looking up a place name, checking the weather), and one optional feature (V2P collision alerts) shares an anonymous, temporary position with our own server only while you have it switched on.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Location (GPS)

KSEMAI uses your device's location to track trips, show live weather and hazards along your route, estimate speed and driving behaviour, and (only if you turn it on) share your live position for collision-warning features. Location access is optional — the app can be used with location off, with reduced functionality — and can be turned off at any time from Privacy & My Data in the app, without affecting your other saved data.

1.2 Camera (optional — drowsiness detection)

If you enable drowsiness detection, KSEMAI uses your device's front camera to look for visual signs of fatigue (eye closure patterns, yawning) using on-device processing. Camera video is analysed on your device and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere — not to us, not to any third party. This feature is off by default and requires explicit camera permission.

1.3 Microphone (optional — voice input)

If you use voice-based destination entry, audio is processed by your phone's own built-in speech-recognition engine (Apple's or Google's, depending on your device) — the same system used by any other app on your phone that accepts voice input. KSEMAI does not separately record, store, or transmit raw audio.

1.4 Motion sensors (accelerometer / gyroscope)

Used on-device to detect harsh braking, acceleration, cornering, road roughness, and potential crash events. This data stays on your device except where included in a report you explicitly choose to save, print, or share.

1.5 Information you provide directly

Trip start/destination text you enter, an emergency contact you choose to save, hazard reports you submit, and any free-text notes.

2. How Your Information Is Stored

Data	Where it lives
Trip history, driving scores, saved destinations, emergency contact, badges/streaks, app settings	Locally on your device only (browser storage). Not uploaded to our servers.
Reports you choose to print, download, or email	Generated on your device at the moment you request them; only leaves your device if you actively print/save/send it yourself.
V2P live position (only while the feature is switched on)	Sent to our server anonymously (a random session code regenerated every time you open the app — not your name, account, or a persistent device ID), used only to check for nearby users of the same feature, and automatically deleted within seconds. See §3.4.

3. Third-Party Services

Some features work by sending only the specific data needed to an external service, at the moment you use that feature:

3.1 OpenStreetMap Nominatim

Used for place search and address lookup. We send the place name or coordinates you're searching for; no account or personal identifier is attached. Governed by OpenStreetMap Foundation's privacy policy.

3.2 Open-Meteo & Overpass

Used for weather forecasts and nearby points of interest (fuel, hospitals, hazards). We send only the coordinates needed for that lookup.

3.3 Your phone's built-in speech engine

See §1.3 — this is Apple's or Google's own on-device/cloud speech service, governed by their respective privacy policies, not ours.

3.4 V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian) collision alerts — optional, off by default

This is the one feature that shares live location with a server on an ongoing basis while active, so it gets a fuller explanation here.

When you explicitly enable V2P alerts, your device sends its current position, heading, speed, and general motion state (e.g. "walking" vs "driving") to our server roughly every 1.5 seconds, so nearby devices also running the feature can be warned of a possible collision path. Specifically:

Identified only by a random session code generated fresh each time you open the app — never your name, phone number, or a persistent identifier.
Any stored position automatically expires and is deleted within about 10 seconds — there is no location history kept, by us or anyone else, from this feature.
Sharing stops immediately when you turn the feature off.
Only used to compute proximity and collision risk between nearby devices — never used for advertising, analytics, or any purpose beyond the safety alert itself.

4. What We Don't Do

We do not sell your data to anyone.
We do not show targeted advertising based on your location or driving data.
We do not build an advertising profile of you.
We do not share your trip history or driving data with insurers, employers, or any third party unless you personally choose to generate and send a report (e.g. an insurance report you explicitly create and email yourself).

5. Your Choices & Rights

Turn off location at any time from Privacy & My Data in the app — your other saved data (trip history, settings) is not affected.
Delete everything stored on your device via the "Clear All My Data From This Phone" button in the same panel — this is immediate and permanent.
Camera and microphone permissions are requested only when you turn on the specific features that use them, and can be revoked at any time through your device's own system settings.
Because almost all data lives only on your device, there is no separate "account" to delete or central database entry about you to request — uninstalling the app / clearing site data removes it.

6. Location-Based Sponsor Content

KSEMAI shows sponsored placements (fuel, lodging, food, and highway services), clearly labelled "AD". Which sponsor content appears is selected using your broad region (e.g. country/state-level, from reverse-geocoding your location) — not your precise real-time position. Your location is never shared with the sponsor itself, and no ad-tracking or cross-app profiling is used to select what's shown.

7. Children's Privacy

KSEMAI is a driving-safety tool intended for use by licensed drivers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us information through the app, contact us using the details below and we will address it.

8. Data Security

Because the large majority of your data never leaves your device, your main safeguard is your own device's security (passcode, OS-level encryption). Where data is transmitted (sections 3.1–3.4), it's sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) to the specific service performing that lookup.

9. Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes affecting how location, camera, or microphone data is handled will be reflected here before they take effect.
