Privacy Policy — Ninjo

Ninjo (formerly LocalHero; Android package com.kggroup.localhero) is a marketplace platform that connects users who need help with small tasks and independent helpers ("Ninjos" / Heroes) who can accept and complete those tasks.

This Privacy Policy is published by KorsgaardGroup LLC. It explains what personal data we access, collect, and use — including Location — why we do so, how we share it, how long we keep it, and how you can request deletion.

Public policy URL: https://localheroapp.io/privacy

Ninjo accesses, collects, and uses Location data on your device. This section is the primary disclosure for Location.

What we access and collect: approximate and/or precise Location (GPS / network), including foreground Location while you use the app, and background Location during an active Ninjo job when live sharing is enabled so the customer can follow you on the map even when the app is closed or not in use.

Android permissions that may be used for this purpose include ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION.

How we use Location:

When Location is not used

  • We do not continuously track your Location when you have not opted in and are not on an active live-share job
  • You can deny Location permission or turn off precise location in Profile → Privacy; core browsing still works, but address autofill, nearby distance, and live map sharing will be limited
  • We do not sell your Location data
  • Fill in or confirm a task address when you choose “use my location”
  • Show distance to tasks and match you with nearby Ninjos
  • Provide in-app navigation toward a task destination
  • Share a Ninjo’s live Location with the customer during an active job (with affirmative consent); background Location is used only for that live-share period
  • Improve safety and support for active jobs

Depending on how you use Ninjo, we may access and collect the following categories of personal data:

A. Account and contact information

  • Email address (used to create and sign in to your account)
  • Password (stored in encrypted form by our authentication provider; we do not store plaintext passwords)
  • Name or display name
  • WhatsApp / phone number (required for signup and account contact; used so other users or support can reach you about tasks)
  • Profile photo / avatar (optional)
  • Bio or short description (optional)
  • Role indicators (for example tourist, local user, or Ninjo / Hero)

B. Location data

  • We access and collect Location as described in the section “Location — Access, Collection, and Use” above (precise/approximate; foreground; and background during live job sharing)

C. Photos, camera, and microphone

  • Photos or images you choose to upload (task covers, profile picture, completion proof, chat attachments, support tickets)
  • Camera access when you take a photo or video in the app (for example documenting completed work, attaching media to a task, or sending media in task chat)
  • Microphone access when you record live video with audio in task chat
  • On Android, gallery selection uses the system Photo Picker / file chooser; the app does not request broad photo-library read permissions

D. User content

  • Task titles, descriptions, addresses, prices, and status
  • Chat messages between users on a task
  • Ratings and reviews
  • Support messages you send to Ninjo support

E. Device identifiers and notifications

  • Push notification tokens (for example Expo push tokens) tied to your account so we can deliver message, task, and account notifications
  • Device platform (iOS / Android), model, and OS version
  • App version and basic crash / performance diagnostics

F. Payment-related data

  • Task payment amounts, commission, and payout status associated with your account
  • Payment processing is handled by third-party providers (for example Xendit when configured); we do not store full card numbers in our own databases

G. Usage and analytics

  • App activity such as features used, screens opened, and task lifecycle events
  • Referral / QR acquisition metadata when you open the app from a tracked link
  • Create and manage your account, including WhatsApp / phone contact details
  • Operate the marketplace: create tasks, match Ninjos, chat, complete jobs, and rate users
  • Access, collect, and use Location for addresses, distance, matching, navigation, and live job sharing (see Location section)
  • Upload and display photos/videos you provide for tasks, chat, profile, and completion proof
  • Send push notifications about messages, tasks, payments, and account activity
  • Process payments and payouts through payment partners
  • Prevent fraud, abuse, and policy violations; moderate user-generated content
  • Improve reliability, performance, and product quality
  • Respond to support requests and legal obligations

Ninjo uses the camera so you can take photos or videos for tasks, completion documentation, profile pictures, and chat.

Ninjo uses the microphone only when you record live video with sound in task chat.

We do not access your camera or microphone in the background for unrelated purposes.

We do NOT sell your personal data.

We may share limited data with:

  • Other Ninjo users as needed to complete a task (for example display name, profile photo, task details, chat messages, and — during an active job with consent — live Location of the assigned Ninjo)
  • Cloud hosting and database providers that run the app (for example infrastructure that stores account and task data)
  • Authentication providers that process login credentials
  • Payment processors (for example Xendit) to complete payments and payouts
  • Push notification delivery services (for example Expo) using your device push token
  • Maps / geocoding providers when you search or reverse-geocode an address (Location coordinates may be sent for that lookup)
  • Legal authorities when required by law or to protect safety and rights
  • Account, profile, WhatsApp/phone, and task history are kept while your account is active
  • Chat messages and uploaded media are retained to operate the service and for safety/moderation
  • Location points collected for an active job are used for real-time tracking; related Location may be retained with the task record for support and dispute handling
  • Push tokens are kept while the device remains registered and removed or replaced when you log out, uninstall, or request deletion
  • After account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period (typically within 30 days), except data we must keep for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or accounting obligations

You can delete your Ninjo account and associated personal data at any time:

  • In the app: Profile → Delete account (immediate deletion after confirmation)
  • By email: write to hello@localheroapp.io with subject "Account Deletion Request" and include the email on your account — we process email requests within 30 days
  • Web instructions: https://localheroapp.io/delete-account

Depending on where you live (including GDPR where applicable), you may have the right to:

  • Contact us at hello@localheroapp.io to exercise these rights.
  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent for optional features (Location, camera, microphone, notifications)
  • Export or receive a copy of your data where required by law
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Ninjo is strictly for users aged 18 and older.
  • We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
  • If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls, and encrypted password handling via our authentication provider.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use a strong unique password and keep your device locked.

We use third-party services that may process limited personal data under their own privacy policies, including authentication, cloud hosting/databases, payment processing, push delivery, and maps/geocoding.

Ninjo is used internationally (including Indonesia / Bali and the EU). Data may be processed on servers outside your country. Where required, we take steps to protect transferred data in line with applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will change when we do. Continued use of Ninjo after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
