Privacy Policy

Updated 2023-10-18

Using GuardTools Apps and Components

When you use GuardTools apps and components such as GuardTools Mobile or GuardTools Command & Control, your personal data is not shared outside of GuardTools unless your employer is required to do so (by law, rules or agreements). On the other hand, the data that is produced for event reports – for example text, timestamps and photos in GuardTools Mobile – can and will be shared with relevant parties at your employer’s discretion, such as an end-client.

GuardTools Mobile allows you to actively report your location in a word order. The app also continuously sends your location to your employer’s instance of GuardTools. This is a background process that is on-going even if the app is inactive or closed for your safety, because your colleagues must be able to locate you even if you are incapacitated. It also speeds up the alarm process. The operator can quickly dispatch the alarm to the guard who is closest by. Finally, location data can also be used for general workforce management in GuardTools. Through your employment and use of GuardTools you agree to this privacy policy.

Nobody Likes Spam

If you have received any irrelevant marketing from us, please accept our apologies and feel free to customize your subscription or unsubscribe from our marketing e-mails at any time.
