Location Privacy Policy

01 Purpose

Big Bull Technologies, LLC (“Big Bull Technologies,” “BBT,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) recognizes that location information is sensitive.

This Location Privacy Policy explains how Before the Call (“B4C”) collects, uses, protects, and limits location information when Customers choose to enable location-based administrative features.

Our goal is to provide transparency while protecting the privacy of every Authorized User.

02 Privacy First

Location services within Before the Call are designed around one principle:

Location features exist to automate administrative workflows such as documenting station attendance and duty hours. They are not intended to monitor where members travel, where they live, or how they spend their time.

03 What We Collect

When Station Presence Verification is enabled, B4C may collect information such as:

• Arrival at an approved department location
• Departure from an approved department location
• Date and time of each event
• The approved location associated with the event
• The member associated with the event

This information is collected solely to support administrative workflows selected by the Department.

04 What We Do Not Collect

Before the Call is intentionally designed not to collect continuous location history. B4C does not intentionally:

05 Approved Department Locations

Location-based administrative features operate only in connection with Department-approved locations configured within Before the Call. Examples include:

• Fire stations
• EMS stations
• Administrative offices
• Training facilities
• Department-owned properties
• Other locations designated by the Department

The platform is not intended to monitor activity unrelated to approved department locations.

06 Background Location

Some optional features, such as Station Presence Verification, may require background location permissions. When enabled:

• The application may determine whether you have entered or exited an approved department location.
• Background location is used only to support authorized administrative workflows.
• Background location is not used to create continuous location histories.

Users remain in control of device-level location permissions.

07 User Choice

Location-based features are optional unless required by Department policy.

Users may generally:

• Grant location permission
• Deny location permission
• Modify permission settings
• Disable background location
• Re-enable permissions at any time

Disabling required permissions may limit or prevent automated administrative features from functioning.

08 Department Access

Departments control access to administrative records generated within their own organization.

Access to location-related administrative events is limited according to user roles and permissions established by the Department. Not every user has access to every administrative record.

09 No Advertising

Big Bull Technologies does not use location information to:

• Deliver advertisements
• Build advertising profiles
• Sell marketing information
• Support third-party advertising
• Share location information with data brokers

Location information exists solely to support Customer-requested administrative functionality.

10 Security

Location-related administrative records are protected using the same administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards applied to other Customer Data. Additional information is available in:

• TRU-001 — Security Overview
• TRU-003 — Data Security

11 Customer Responsibilities

Departments are responsible for:

• Informing members about department policies
• Configuring approved locations accurately
• Managing user permissions
• Reviewing administrative records when appropriate
• Complying with applicable employment, volunteer, labor, and privacy laws

Departments determine how administrative records are used within their organization.

12 Our Commitment

Big Bull Technologies believes trust is earned.

Accordingly, we commit that Before the Call will never intentionally use location information to:

Location services exist only to simplify administrative work.

13 Changes to This Policy

Big Bull Technologies may update this Location Privacy Policy periodically.

Material changes will become effective on the published Effective Date after reasonable notice has been provided through the Services, our website, email, or another appropriate communication method.
