3. How Geographic Screening Works

Sol Price Widget uses a multi-signal approach to determine the user’s geographic location. This screening occurs at app startup, when opening settings, before each background price refresh, and whenever the home-screen widget is rendered, and uses the following detection methods in priority order:

Priority	Method	Data source	Reliability
1	SIM card country code	TelephonyManager (SIM operator)	Highest — physical SIM issued in a specific country
2	Network carrier country	TelephonyManager (network operator)	High — carrier-reported country code
3	Device locale setting	Android system locale	Moderate — user-configurable but indicative

3.1 Privacy-preserving design

• All screening is performed entirely on-device — no location data is transmitted to any server
• The App does not request location permissions (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION or ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
• No location history is stored, logged, or recorded
• Country detection relies solely on SIM, carrier, and locale signals already available to the app
• See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling

3.2 What happens when a restricted region is detected

If any detection signal indicates the device is associated with a restricted jurisdiction:

1. The App displays an informational compliance screen explaining that Sol Price Widget is not available in the detected region
2. The screen identifies the detected region for transparency
3. Access to the App’s features (price display, widget, settings) is fully restricted
4. The back button is disabled to prevent bypass
5. No personal data is collected, transmitted, or processed. The App sends one anonymous, aggregate counter (the event name geo_blocked and nothing else) so we can measure how many users are turned away; see the Privacy Policy

3.3 Limitations of geographic screening

We acknowledge that on-device geographic screening has inherent limitations:

• SIM-based detection may not reflect the user’s current physical location (e.g., travelling with a foreign SIM)
• Locale-based detection can be changed by the user in device settings
• VPNs or location spoofing tools may circumvent geographic restrictions
• Dual-SIM devices may report ambiguous country information

These limitations do not relieve users of their obligation to comply with applicable laws in their actual jurisdiction (see Section 4).

4. User Representations and Warranties

By using Sol Price Widget, you represent and warrant that:

• You are not currently located in, a resident of, or a national of any jurisdiction listed in Section 2
• You are not listed on, or owned or controlled by any person or entity listed on:
  • The US OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List
  • The EU Consolidated List of Persons, Groups and Entities Subject to Financial Sanctions
  • The UK OFSI Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets
  • The Australian DFAT Consolidated List
  • Any UN Security Council sanctions list
  • Any other applicable government sanctions list
• You are not acting on behalf of, or for the benefit of, any sanctioned person, entity, or jurisdiction
• You will not use VPNs, proxy services, location spoofing tools, or any other technology to circumvent the geographic restrictions
• You will immediately cease use of the App if your jurisdiction becomes subject to sanctions

5. Consequences of Violation

If we determine or reasonably suspect that you are using the App in violation of this Policy or applicable sanctions laws:

• Your access to the App may be immediately terminated
• We reserve the right to cooperate with relevant authorities if required by law
• We may disclose information as required by legal process, subpoena, or government request
• You may be subject to civil or criminal penalties under applicable sanctions laws

6. Updates to Restricted Jurisdictions

International sanctions are dynamic and subject to change. We monitor designations from OFAC, EU, UK OFSI, UN, and Australian DFAT and update the restricted jurisdictions list as necessary. Updates may be made via app updates or policy updates without individual prior notice.

7. No Legal Advice

This Policy is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. If you have questions about whether your use of Sol Price Widget may be subject to sanctions restrictions, consult qualified legal counsel in your jurisdiction.
