Kagabo Faustin built the HingaSmart app as a free app. This service is provided by Kagabo Faustin at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decides to use our Service.
By choosing to use our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as outlined in this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used to provide and improve the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at HingaSmart, unless otherwise defined. This privacy policy describes:

Email and Password: When you sign up for a HingaSmart account, we ask for your email and password.

Location data is used to provide accurate weather updates, climate data, and agricultural advisories tailored to your area. If you choose not to grant location access, certain features may be limited.
The data obtained through these permissions is strictly used within the HingaSmart system to provide specific services as outlined in this Privacy Policy, and it will never be sold or disclosed to third parties for any purpose beyond our service.
