Privacy Policy for The Beaconeer, for Android:

Revised November 2020

Thank you for downloading The Beaconeer™ app. In order for the app to function properly, you will need to authorize the app's access to your Camera, Contact, Phone, SMS, Storage, and Location Sensor (GPS). Instructions are below.

On a regular basis Google Play reviews and updates the security compliance requirements of all apps within their store, to protect the privacy and security of consumers. The Beaconeer version 10 has been updated to comply with API29.

As a result of Google Play's compliance requirements of app developers, when you open The Beaconeer™ pop-ups will appear requesting you to "Allow" or "Deny the app's access to the communications, storage, camera, and location features on your phone.
Please check "Allow".
However, these pop-ups will keep happening at every instance until you set your Permissions for the duration of The Beaconeer™ install on your phone!
To avoid constant pop-ups go to Settings / General / Apps & Notifications / App Info / Beaconeer Turbo / Permissions ... and enable all functions as shown below.

We want to assure you that authorizing these permissions are necessary for proper functioning of The Beaconeer™. Under no circumstances do we transfer any SMS, Phone Calls, GPS Location, Image Media, without the user initiating such action or opt-in. Furthermore, when The Beaconeer™ is not in use, there is absolutely no coding that self-initiates any of the communications, storage, camera, and location features on your phone.

So, if your Beaconeer™ permissions appear like the screenshot above, you're good to go!

We value your privacy and want you to know how we handle information you submit in The Beaconeer™ app.

There are seven functionalities in The Beaconeer™ App. We protect your privacy in the following manner:

1. Beaconeer Operations Screens : There are three of these screens. We do not save any GPS locations that you discharge to your “Beacon” recipient list, nor do we save any text messages that you enter in the “Text Box" on these screens.

4. Send with no GPS and Send/ w GPS – These buttons are located in the "Beaconeer Operations" screens. When pressed by the user, these buttons send your Latitude, Longitude, and Locality, along with the user-defined text message to the list of phone numbers previously defined by the user in the "Beacon Lists". These behaviors can only be initiated by the user.
