Definitions.

Types of Information Collected. In order to better provide Users with STRAX Intelligence Group’s Services, STRAX Intelligence Group collects several types of information from and about Users, including Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (each as defined below and collectively referred to as “User Information”) as well as Event Information or Incident Information (together with User Information, “Collected Information”). STRAX Intelligence Group’s primary goals in collecting information from User are to provide the Services and to collect information related to the Services.
Personally Identifiable Information. Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets STRAX Intelligence Group know the specifics of who Users are. When a User engages in certain activities on the Site or the App, STRAX Intelligence Group may ask that User to provide personal information, such as first and last name, organization name, home address, alternative address(es), email address, telephone number, and Badge/Unit number. During the use of STRAX Services User’s may supply additional information such as location, activity, or other Event/Incident Information either automatically via the Site or App functionality or manually.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific User. STRAX Intelligence Group gathers certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Users based upon their access to and use of the App and/or the Site, including, but not limited to: traffic data, location data, logs, communication data, the resources that a User accesses and uses on or through the App and/or the Site, the website’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) from which User just came, to which URL User next goes, what browser User is using, and User’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address. It can also include including information about your mobile device and internet connection, including the device’s unique device identifier, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information. This information can be compiled and analyzed on both a per-user and an aggregated basis. We may also collect other Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In certain cases we may combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information in which case all resulting or connected data will be considered Personally Identifiable Information.
Information from Third Party Sites. We may collect, store and use certain User Information from third party sites and services that are accessible via or integrated with the Site or the App or are contemplated by use of the Services (e.g. Google accounts, etc.), including information that may be transmitted by such third party sites in connection with use of the Services. We may also receive access, store and/or use User Information that is collected by third party service providers and our other vendors related to your use of the Services (e.g. Google Analytics, etc.).

Collection of Information.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information. STRAX Intelligence Group generally collects Personally Identifiable Information about a User when a User voluntarily provides it to STRAX Intelligence Group or it is related to use of a Service (e.g. use of the App). User provides certain Personally Identifiable Information to STRAX Intelligence Group when User (i) downloads and installs the App; (ii) provides information in the App or allows the App to access certain device permissions or settings; submits web forms or provides/imports information through the Site or the App, including information provided at the time of registering to use the Site or the App; (iii) transmits other information by telephone or email, including STRAX Intelligence Group’s “contact us” web form; (iv) or provides it via other methods STRAX Intelligence Group may request or allow from time to time. STRAX Intelligence Group may also collect Personally Identifiable Information from a User when using the App (e.g. via App settings or functionality such as location access) or at other locations on the Site or the App that state that such information is being collected.
Automatic Collection of User Information. In addition, STRAX Intelligence Group may also automatically collect, including through third party service providers (e.g. Google Analytics), certain User Information, including Personally Identifiable Information. Such User Information may be collected when you use the Services and may not require you to provide or input specific information. STRAX Intelligence Group may use User Information to diagnose problems with the Services and to improve and market the Services and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy. Certain User Information is collected automatically through your use of the App and permission that are utilized by the App.

STRAX Intelligence Group, and/or its Affiliates or its service and technology providers may use various methods to collect Personally and Non-Personally Identifiable Information about Users. These methods may include, but are not limited to (i) cookies – a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters placed on User’s computer or mobile device that identifies User’s web browser; (ii) analytics and user tracking technologies that may allow us to monitor what actions Users take on the Site or the App; (iii) log Files – information, which is automatically reported by User’s web browser each time User views a web page, possibly including, but not limited to, User’s IP address, browser type and language, number of clicks, domain names of websites visited, pages viewed, and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time; (iv) clear gifs – web beacons, which are pieces of data used to track the online usage patterns of Users anonymously, and which may also be used in HTML-based emails sent to Users to track which emails are opened by recipients; (v) third party service-based technologies and information, including, but not limited to, linked services (such as Google Accounts) that User authorizes to share information about User with STRAX Intelligence Group; (vi) other available technologies that may be integrated into the Site or the App; and (viii) requests for data or information collected through the Services.
Event/Incident Information. Event/Incident Information is voluntarily submitted to the Services by Users generally when reporting, participating in a Event/Incident, or Investigating an Event/Incident.
App Information. We may collect certain User Information when you use our App. Such Information may include:
Device Information. We collect information from and about the devices you use. For example, we collect:
information about your hardware and software, such as the hardware model, operating system version, device memory, advertising identifiers, unique application identifiers, apps installed, unique device identifiers, browser type, language, battery level, and time zone;
information from device sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, microphones, and whether you have headphones connected; and

Camera and Photos. Services may require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, you won’t be able to send or upload photos from your camera roll unless we can access your camera or photos.
Location Information. We may utilize location services on your mobile device to collect information about your precise location by using methods such as GPS, wireless networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other sensors and technologies, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, and compasses as well as other location-enabling technologies like iBeacons, RFID and Bluetooth. We may use this location data to send notifications and alerts to devices located in a specified geolocation area. We generally do not maintain a history of the location of a device, only where your device is at any given moment; provided that in emergency situations we may track the location of your device until the resolution of the emergency. Should you choose to disable location services, you will not receive such notifications intended for a specified geolocation and we will not be enabled to collect your device location. It is possible that emergency responders may be unable to respond to your emergency.
