Location Services allows us www.itslets.com and its mobile application, here with know as “ our app” to gather and use information based on the current location of your device to provide a variety of location-based services. For example, our app will use your location data and location search query to help you find a potential meeting partner or your device may set its time zone automatically based on your current location.

To use features such as these, you must enable Location Services on your device and give your permission to our app or website before it can receive location data from Location Services. The apps may request limited access to your location data (only when you are using the app or approximate location) or full access (even when you are not using the app or precise location).

For safety purposes, however, your device location information may be used when an emergency call is placed to aid response efforts regardless of whether you enable Location Services.

Location Services uses device sensors, including GPS and Bluetooth (where those are available), along with crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations to determine your device’s approximate location.

If Location Services is on, your device will periodically send the geo-tagged locations of nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers (where supported by a device) in an anonymous and encrypted form to Our app, to be used for augmenting this crowd-sourced database of Wi-Fi hotspot and cell tower locations.

By enabling Location Services, location-based system services such as these will also be enabled:

• Routing and Traffic: While you are in transit (for example, walking or driving), your device will periodically send GPS data, travel speed and direction, and barometric pressure information in an anonymous and encrypted form to Our app, to be used for augmenting crowd-sourced road traffic, roadway, pedestrian walkway, and atmospheric correction databases. Additionally, when you open an app near a point of interest (for example, a business or park) your device will send location data in an anonymous and encrypted form to Our app which Our app may aggregate and use to let users know if that point of interest is open and how busy it is.

• Significant Locations: Your device will keep track of places you have recently been, as well as how often and when you visited them, in order to learn places that are significant to you. This data is end-to-end encrypted and cannot be read by Our app. It is used to provide you with personalized services, such as meeting a prospective activity partner.

• Suggestions & Search: The location of your device will be sent to Our app to provide more relevant recommendations. If you turn off Location Services for location-based suggestions, your precise location will not be sent to Our app. To deliver relevant search suggestions and news, Our app may use the IP address of your internet connection to approximate your location by matching it to a geographic region.

• Alerts & Shortcuts Automations: Your device and Our app will use your location in order to provide you with geographically relevant alerts, such as a reminder to call someone when you get to a specific place, when to leave for your next appointment, or an app or shortcut recommendation based on where you currently are.

• Share My Location: You can choose to share your current location with others, on a temporary or ongoing basis, from within our app.

• System Customization: Your device will customize system appearance, behaviors, and settings using your current location, for example by automatically enabling Optimized Battery Charging when you are at home. This customization data does not leave your device.

• Emergency Calls & SOS: When an emergency call is placed, in addition to location already provided to emergency services, your device or Our app Watch will make supplementary data available through the Enhanced Emergency Data service. This may include street address information if your current location is near the Home or Work address in your personal contact card (My Card). Triggering Emergency SOS will also send location to your emergency contacts at the end of the call.

The crowd-sourced location data gathered by Our app does not personally identify you.

By enabling Location Services for your devices, you agree and consent to the transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of your location data and location search queries by Our app and its partners and licensees to provide and improve location-based and road traffic-based products and services.

You can disable Location Services at any time. To do so, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services, and either tap to turn off global Location Services or turn off the individual location switch of each location-aware app or feature by setting it to Never.

To disable Location Services for all websites, set the Location Services setting for Safari Websites to Never. You can also disable location-based System Services by tapping System Services, then tapping to turn off each location-based System Service.

Apps or websites may still use other information, such as the IP address of your internet connection, to attempt to approximate your location, regardless of the state of the Location Services switch.
