2.Basic operation
2.1. User application does not require explicit personal information (like email, contacts list, phone number and alike) to operate.
2.2. We collect following information about service use (in order to improve operation)
- Geo location coordinates of user device when beacons are activated (used to maintain beacon placement on the map)
- Your keyboard language settings, device type, OS version (to optimize experience)
- Activation date and time and beacon identifier (to provide additional context information, if available)
2.3. The information that may be implicitly collected while transmission
- Your IP address
3.User tracked operation
Some functions required user aware experience, in such case we may decide to collect more information. To implement this, we may generate and store on your device (and use to identify you between application sessions) unique random user identifier (or use equivalent identifier if provided by operating system). The user identifier may be used to track application function used. This information will be used to provide you with adapted experience like: information about relevant product updates, suggestion about goods or services that may be relevant to you, relevant advertising etc.
4.Microphone access
Application allows customization of sound beacon voice message via sound recording. To implement this function, application contains explicit recording functionality and will use your microphone. To activate audio recording user have to explicitly press recording button. To stop record, user has to press stop recording button. The maximum recording time is limited to ~1 min (depends on device resources). The recorded data may be uploaded to the sound beacon by explicit pressing upload button. The recorded data will not be permanently stored on user device and will not be sent to the Internet.
5.Camera access
Application may use device camera to scan QR codes. To activate camera, user have to explicitly press QR code scan button. The QR code data will be used inside application for relevant proposes (like sound beacon device identification). The camera stream data will not be permanently stored by the app and will not be sent to the Internet.
6.Your device Mac address
To implement administrative faster connection to sound beacons, we may use your device’s network adapter MAC address (if it is available via OS function).
7.Sound beacon location public information
The application allows beacon administrator user to explicitly provide extended public information about location where sound is installed. This information may include place name, web site address, phone number, surrounded space description relevant to blind users etc. This data will be stored in the cloud and will be publically accessible via Internet to anyone. Any private or personal information is not required to be entered to submit this data. This should be public information that is related to the beacon location and user should take all responsibility to the information provided there.
8.File read access
Application allows customization of sound beacon voice message via exiting audio file. To implement this function, application contains explicit audio file read functionality and will read device file storage. For audio file reading user have to explicitly activate existing file read function. User will be prompted to select sound file. Upon selection, only explicitly selected file will be read by app and may be uploaded to the sound beacon by explicit pressing upload button. The selected audio file data will not be permanently stored on user device and will not be sent to the Internet.
9.Personalized user experience
In a future, we may offer you personalized experience, in such case we will explicitly ask you for more personal information and provide you with updated privacy policy.
