Which permissions we request and why
We request the minimum needed for the service to work. Here is each permission, its concrete purpose and how to remove it.
Permissions table
| Permission | What we use it for | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Ubicación precisa y aproximada | Determine the position of the vehicle or asset and produce the trip, the geofences and the contracted reports. | Yes |
| Ubicación en segundo plano | Keep reporting position when the application is closed or the screen is off, which is how a real transport shift works. | Yes, in the driver app |
| Cámara | Capture delivery evidence, inspection photographs and barcode scanning. | No |
| Almacenamiento y archivos | Temporarily store captured evidence when there is no signal and attach documents to an order. | No |
| Notificaciones | Notify about a new order, an operational alert or a route change. | No |
| Bluetooth | Connect to nearby sensors: temperature probes, driver identification readers and asset beacons. | No |
| Teléfono (estado de la llamada) | Pause capture during a call and resume afterwards, so reports are not lost. | No |
| Micrófono | Only when the panic button is activated, to open audio to the monitoring centre. | No |
| Ejecución en segundo plano y arranque | Keep the reporting service alive and resume it if the phone restarts mid-shift. | Yes, in the driver app |
Background location disclosure
Our driver application collects location data to enable fleet tracking and trip reporting even when the app is closed or not in use.
This is the same text the application displays on screen before requesting the permission, as Google Play and the App Store require.
- The permission is voluntary and granted on the device.
- You can revoke it whenever you want from system settings, without asking us.
- Once revoked, the application stops reporting position and tells you so.
- Location is not used for advertising and not sold.
How to revoke a permission
Android: Settings → Apps → [app name] → Permissions → select the permission → Deny.
iOS: Settings → [app name] → turn off the relevant permission.
You can also uninstall the application. If you additionally want to delete the account and the server-side data, use the account deletion page.
What we do not do
- We do not activate the microphone or camera without an action from you or a panic event.
- We do not read your contacts, your messages or your calendar.
- We do not install advertising software and we do not profile for advertisers.
- We do not share location with third parties other than those listed in the privacy policy.
