Push Notification Policy

01 Purpose

The Before the Call (“B4C”) mobile application may send push notifications to help Authorized Users stay informed about administrative activities within their organization.

This Push Notification Policy explains the types of notifications B4C may send, how notification preferences can be managed, and our commitment to respectful communication.

Our goal is to deliver timely, relevant administrative information — not unnecessary interruptions.

02 Our Notification Philosophy

Notifications should provide value.

B4C is designed to send notifications that support administrative operations, improve communication, and help members stay informed. We do not believe in sending notifications solely to increase application usage or engagement.

03 Types of Notifications

Depending on Department configuration, user preferences, and platform functionality, B4C may send notifications related to:

04 Emergency Notifications

Before the Call is an administrative platform.

Push notifications should not be relied upon for:

Departments should continue using their designated emergency notification systems for operational response.

05 Marketing Communications

Big Bull Technologies does not use push notifications for unsolicited advertising.

Marketing or promotional notifications, if offered in the future, will:

• Be optional
• Require user opt-in where required by law
• Include clear methods to update notification preferences

Our primary focus is administrative communication, not marketing.

06 User Preferences

Users may manage notification preferences through:

• In-app notification settings (where available)
• Device operating system settings
• Department-configured notification options
• Other supported preference controls

Some critical account or security notifications may continue to be delivered when reasonably necessary to protect the account or Services.

07 Department Configuration

Departments may configure certain notification types based on organizational needs. Examples may include:

• Meeting reminders
• Training notifications
• Certification reminders
• Station duty alerts
• Administrative announcements

Available notification options may vary by subscription level and platform capabilities.

08 Delivery

Push notification delivery depends on several factors outside the control of Big Bull Technologies, including:

• Device settings
• Operating system behavior
• Internet connectivity
• Notification permissions
• Battery optimization
• Third-party notification services

Accordingly, delivery cannot be guaranteed. Departments should not rely exclusively on push notifications for critical communications.

09 Privacy

Notification content is designed to minimize unnecessary disclosure of sensitive information.

Where appropriate, notifications may display limited information until the user securely opens the application.

Notification information is handled in accordance with:

• LEG-002 — Privacy Policy
• DAT-001 — Data Ownership Policy

10 Security Notifications

Certain notifications are intended to protect user accounts and the platform. Examples include:

• Password reset confirmations
• Login alerts
• Multi-factor authentication requests
• New device sign-ins
• Security advisories

Users are encouraged to review these notifications promptly.

11 Respectful Communication

Big Bull Technologies is committed to using notifications responsibly. We strive to:

• Avoid excessive notifications
• Deliver notifications only when relevant
• Allow users to manage preferences where practical
• Minimize unnecessary interruptions
• Improve notification quality over time

Notification effectiveness is regularly evaluated as part of our ongoing product development.

12 Changes to This Policy

Big Bull Technologies may update this Push Notification 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.
