APCON Mobile App Privacy Policy

The next four paragraphs address APCON's Mobile App privacy policy.

We do not charge for the APCON IntellaView Mobile application because it is considered a strategic tool that adds value to our customers who purchase our products, as well as an educational tool so that potential customers can experience the capabilities of our products through the usage of the DEMO mode.

The APCON Mobile App reads the mobile device's phone and network state to identify the mobile device's unique ID. This ID is used by the Google Cloud Messaging System to allow notifications to be sent to the mobile device from the user's switch(es) using TITAN or IntellaView Enterprise.

Understanding a Device's Network Locations

To scan and connect to a switch over Bluetooth, Bluetooth must be enabled on your mobile device and you must allow the application to use Bluetooth when it requests to do so. The APCON IntellaView Mobile application may request access to your device’s location. This may be required to connect to a switch via Bluetooth.

To access your IntellaView products over the mobile device's network/internet connection through the APCON IntellaView Mobile application, your network/internet connection must be turned on in the mobile device, and you must not deny the application access to the mobile device’s network/internet connection.

Receiving Alerts and Information -- including wake lock

Alert and event notifications can be sent to the APCON IntellaView Mobile application from the user's switch(es) using TITAN or IntellaView Enterprise.

Google Analytics

APCON IntellaView Mobile application uses Google Analytics to understand basic information about customer usage. Here are the events that we specifically count inside the application:

  • The collective number of login events
    • Whether the login was over Bluetooth, the internet, or the demo mode.
    • This helps us understand how our customers prefer to connect to their IntellaView products.
  • The total number of times, collectively, each screen is accessed
    • This helps us identify what workflows are most important to our customers.

Google collates information for us as part of using Google Analytics. Examples of this type of information are:

  • Number of unique users
  • Average time spent in the application
  • Other standard events defined by Google (number of application updates, number of OS updates, etc.).

This information helps us understand how many customers use the mobile application, and how long, on average, they spend working in the application.

As of the time of writing this policy, all the currently collected events are marked as 'NPA' in the Google Analytics platform. According to the terms of Google's service agreement, Google should not send you any 'Personalized Ads' based on the information gathered through the APCON IntellaView Mobile application.

The APCON Mobile App accesses a mobile device's location to identify the user's nearest switch closet and TITAN/IntellaView Enterprise. The switch closet and TITAN/IntellaView Enterprise are then represented as icons on the APCON Mobile App map.

Receiving Alerts and Information -- including wake lock

The APCON IntellaView Mobile application does not access the user's voice, video, or photographs on the mobile device.

Policy Updates

We may revise our privacy policy in the future to adjust to such changes. We recommend you check it frequently. If you have questions or comments on this Privacy Statement, please submit them by contacting us.
