If you download the App, the App will request access to your device location. If you grant the App access to your device location, we will be able to track the physical location of your device using GPS and WiFi signals. We use this information to provide the Service. You can remove the App’s access to your device location at any time by changing your privacy settings on your device, and you may also permit the App to only track your location at specific times by changing your privacy settings within the App. Not enabling access to your device location may limit the features and functionality of the Service that you can use. Location data will be available to the Account Owner.
Location data is automatically tracked for fraud prevention purposes (eg. to potentially identify unauthorized access to your account) and unusual patterns or location data that is flagged by the Security Services may be notified to the Account Owner/applicable administrators. In the event of high-risk activity flagged by the Security Services, your account may be temporarily disabled to protect against fraudulent activity through your account.
