1. Data Collection
Precise location data: The App collects precise location data to provide specific features including but not limited to navigation, event notifications, and other services available to app users and campus visitors. Precise location data collected through the app is not linked to a user’s identity and is not used for tracking purposes by UNCW other than providing the service(s). Precise location data is not retained or stored by UNCW.
App usage data: UNCW also collects usage data for analytics purposes. This includes information about how you interact with the App such as the features you use, pages you visit, session duration, and any errors that occur or are reported.
Account log in data: In order to access certain features of the App, or to access services you may be redirected to, a UNCW account may be required.
2. How We Use Data
Precise location data: UNCW uses location data solely for in-app functionality. It helps us provide accurate services like navigation, event notifications for on-campus activities, and other services that require the use of your device’s location data.
