I. Location Data Collected

What Location Data We Collect

CareVision Plus Mobile App collects the following location data:

• Precise location (GPS and network-based location)

• Background location (when travel tracking is active)

II. When Location Is Collected

Location data is only collected:

• When a user checks into a scheduled booking (a point-in-time location is captured)

• When a user starts an active travel session during a booking or shift

• During an active travel tracking session

• Until the travel session is ended by the user or is automatically stopped when idle for a period of time

• We do not continuously track location outside of active travel sessions.

Location data may be collected:

• While the app is in use and the user checks into a booking (a point-in-time location is captured)

• While the app is in use and the user has explicitly selected to track travel

• While the app is running in the background (during active travel tracking) and the user has explicitly selected to track travel

• The app collects background location data only during active travel tracking sessions to accurately record travel routes and distances.

• An icon will always be displayed on the mobile device indicating that travel tracking is active.

III. How We Use Location Data

We use location data for:

• Validating check-in location against the scheduled booking

• Travel tracking to make it easy for users to report kilometers traveled in the application

• Recording geopoints during work-related travel after the user has opted to track travel

• Calculating distance traveled on work-related bookings

• Generating travel timesheets for your employer and work-related purposes

• Compliance, billing, and payroll-related processing as deemed necessary by your employer

• Location data is used strictly for work-related travel logging.

IV. Data Sharing

We do not sell location data or any of your data to any organization.

Location data may be shared only with:

• The employer/organization associated with the user account

• Secure backend servers for processing travel logs

V. Data Storage & Security

• Location data is transmitted securely using encryption

• Stored securely on our servers

• Retained only as long as necessary for payroll and compliance purposes

• Only accessible to appropriately authenticated users at the organization you work for

VI. User Control

Users can:

• Stop travel tracking at any time

• Disable location permissions in device settings

• Request deletion of their location data by contacting their employer
