Types of Account Data Collected

Information provided by Customers: Our systems provide the capability for Customers to store basic personal information such as an individual’s name, credential number, email address and photographs. This information is used to correlate events to the correct individual, as well as to enable notifications and mobile application functionality. The Customer is solely responsible for determining if storage of this data is appropriate in the context of applicable laws and regulations.

Mobile Application: We provide mobile applications what can be used with our systems. The Security App is a form of digital credential used to authorize physical access to a building. We collect information about the location of the device and its proximity to certain available readers within Bluetooth range of the Security Mobile App to simplify authorization to open the proper lock or door. In order to provide these services, we collect various types of device, WiFi access point data and Bluetooth data. In order to use the services of the mobile application, various features such as location services, WiFi, and Bluetooth communication will need to be enabled on the mobile device.

Location Data: For some features to work reliably, the Security app requires Location Services always enabled. We don’t ever collect your physical location or GPS information, and do not share or sell your data to third parties. The app doesn’t use your physical location, but rather Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which iOS and Android consider as part of their Location Services.

  • On iOS devices: The Security app also uses Motion Services in order to detect if a phone is in motion – if it is stationary, the Security background service will shut down in order to conserve battery. If the app detects the phone is moving, the Security service will resume in order to communicate with any nearby Security readers.
  • Logging data: Security does not log the geolocation or GPS of your phone. We temporarily log motion data on iOS devices and can only receive that data if you Send Feedback via the app for troubleshooting purposes.

If you’d rather not enable these features, you can still unlock entries on iOS devices by using Touch to Unlock with the Security app open and Bluetooth turned on. On Android devices, Touch to Unlock won’t work if Location Services is turned off regardless of the app is open or not, but you can still use the app to unlock entries by tapping on the lock icons next to the entries.
