Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

RSPNDR (“RSPNDR,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) values the privacy of individuals who use our application, websites, and related services (collectively, the “RSPNDR Platform ”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from RSPNDR users (“Users”), comprised of RSPNDR Requesters (“Requesters”), RSPNDR Responders (“Responders”) and RSPNDR Partners (“Partners”) including alarm monitoring stations, alarm dealers and alarm software companies . Beyond this Privacy Policy, your use of RSPNDR is also subject to our contract with you, your constant and/or the RSPNDR Partner through whom you access the RSPNDR Platform.

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly

Account and User Profile Information. If you create a RSPNDR account we may collect your name, email address and phone number.  For RSPNDR Partners and RSPNDR Responders we may also collect business address, business registration numbers and security license numbers or the equivalent in your jurisdiction.   RSPNDR Responders must also provide a profile photo.

Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact our support team, we will receive your name, email address, phone number, the contents of any message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide.

Payment Information. To make sure RSPNDR Responders get paid promptly, we keep information about bank account numbers, tax information, and any other relevant payment information provided by RSPNDR Responders and/or their respective companies.

B. Information We Collect As You Use the RSPNDR Platform

Location Information. RSPNDR aims to get Responders to Requesters as fast as possible. To achieve this, we need to know where our Responders are and where a Requester needs them. When you open the RSPNDR app on your mobile device, we receive your location. We may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background.

Device Information. RPNDR receives information from Users’ devices, including IP address, web browser type, mobile operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, application installations, device identifiers, and push notification tokens. We may collect mobile sensor data from RSPNDR Responders devices (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration or deceleration) to improve location accuracy and analyze usage patterns.

Usage Information. To help us understand how you engage with the RSPNDR Platform and to help us make it better it, we automatically receive information about your interactions with the RSPNDR Platform, your actions within the app, and the dates and times you use it.

Call and Text Information. We work with a third party partner to facilitate phone calls and text messages between RSPNDR Responders, RSPNDR Partner, RSPNDR Requesters and our team.  We receive information about these communications including the date and time of the call or SMS message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of any SMS messages. For security purposes, we may also monitor and/or record the contents of phone calls made on the RPSNDR Platform, such as those between RPSNDR Responders and RSPNDR Partners.

Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to understand how you navigate through the RPNDR Platform, to learn about what you like about it and how you use it. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the RPSNDR Platform.

C. Information We Collect from Third Parties

Third Party Partners. We may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, payment information, or fraud detection information, from third party partners and combine it with other information that we have about you.

Background Information on RSPNDR Responders. We may work with third party partners to perform driving record and criminal background checks on Responders, and we receive information from them such as available information about a Responders’s driving record or criminal history.
