    7. Privacy Policy
    This app uses your current location when creating reminders which fire based on your current location. A background periodic task also runs and accesses your location, and use it to determine if your proximity to destination location which you setup within the app. Your location is not shared in any way with any third party. You can always override this option by using the ‘Settings’ page to disable the background location.
    PS: SMART Reminders app uses background agents which run periodically. Note that we ca not guarantee this periodic nature because the operating system has control over their scheduling.
