Personal Data
The App requests certain optional forms of personal information in order to enable specific features of the App:
- User Location is an optional but recommended form of data collected by the App to execute certain features, such as customizing the feed and reporting fires. In order for the App to access location data, the user must grant the App permission for this data, either when prompted within the App or within device preferences. The user’s location is only public when the user reports a fire, as the user’s location at the time of reporting is assigned as the fire’s location. All fires are publicly displayed on the feed and map once reported.
- Camera Access is an optional feature of the App, as it is only required when reporting a fire. In order for the App to access the device camera, the user must grant the App permission, either when prompted when reporting a fire or within device preferences.
