Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• The SOGPOS website at sacredioncors.com (and related subdomains)
• The SOGPOS Mobile application for Android and iOS
• NTRIP / RTK correction services and CORS observation-data access delivered through SOGPOS
• Customer support and account administration related to those services

By creating an account, using the website, or installing SOGPOS Mobile, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the services.

3. Data we collect

We collect only what is needed to provide high-precision GNSS services, secure your account, and improve reliability.

We do not intentionally collect special-category data (such as biometric templates for identity, health, or political opinions). Payment processing, if offered through third-party gateways, is handled by those providers under their own policies; we receive confirmation of payment status, not full card numbers.

4. SOGPOS Mobile — how we serve you

SOGPOS Mobile gives surveyors and engineers access to live RTK correction streams (NTRIP) across the Sacredion CORS network and related tooling in the field. To do that safely and correctly, the app processes:

• Sign-in credentials so only authorised users can reach the caster and account features.
• Precise location / GNSS data so correction streams can be selected and applied for centimetre-level positioning.
• Network connectivity data to maintain the NTRIP session and report connection health.
• Diagnostic events (crashes, failed connections) so we can keep the service reliable.

5. App permissions

Depending on your device and OS version, SOGPOS Mobile may request:

You can revoke permissions in your device settings. Some features (especially live RTK) will not work without location and network access.

6. How we use data

• Create and secure your SOGPOS account and verify email when required
• Provide NTRIP/RTK corrections and CORS RINEX downloads
• Authenticate sessions and prevent abuse or unauthorised access
• Operate billing, trials, and subscription entitlements
• Respond to support requests and service notices
• Monitor uptime, diagnose faults, and improve the network and apps
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of use

Legal bases (where applicable under privacy laws) include: performance of a contract (providing the service you requested), legitimate interests (security and service improvement), and consent (optional permissions such as notifications or marketing emails).

7. Sharing & processors

We do not sell personal data. We share data only as needed to run SOGPOS:

• Infrastructure & hosting — servers, email delivery, and storage providers that process data on our instructions.
• GNSS technology partners — including Tersus GNSS Inc. where required for platform or receiver interoperability.
• App stores — Google and Apple receive standard distribution / billing metadata under their policies.
• Legal & safety — when required by law, court order, or to protect users and the network.

Third parties acting for us are expected to protect data and use it only for the contracted purpose.

8. Data retention

• Account data — kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for support, billing, and legal records.
• NTRIP / usage logs — retained for operational monitoring and abuse prevention, then deleted or anonymised.
• Crash / diagnostic data — kept only as long as useful for troubleshooting.
• Location processed in-session — used to serve corrections in real time; we do not build advertising profiles from your survey positions.

9. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of GNSS service accounts, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) for the website and app API traffic, hashed passwords, access controls on servers, and operational monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please choose a strong password and keep your credentials private.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your account and associated personal data (where we are not required to retain it)
• Withdraw optional consents (e.g. marketing or non-essential permissions)
• Export a copy of your account information

To exercise these rights, email info@sacredioncors.com with the subject line “Privacy request”. We may need to verify your identity before acting.

11. Children

SOGPOS is a professional GNSS service intended for adults and organisational users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided data to us, contact us and we will delete it.

12. International transfers

Our primary operations are in Nigeria. Some processors (email, hosting, app store, or GNSS partners) may process data in other countries. Where that happens, we take steps appropriate to the risk so that your data remains protected.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, laws, or store requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised. Material changes may also be communicated by email or in-app notice. Continued use of SOGPOS after an update means you accept the revised policy.
