Data Collection in Our Enterprise Solutions

Location Data in Field Service Applications

Some of our enterprise solutions, including field service management applications, may collect location data to enhance functionality. Here's why:

1. Service Optimization: Location data helps optimize service routes, reduce travel time, and improve response times for field technicians.

3. Service Verification: Location data helps verify service completion at customer sites, ensuring accurate service records.

We implement strict controls over location data collection and provide clear opt-in mechanisms for such features.

For specific enterprise solutions requiring enhanced security, we may process biometric data under strict controls:

1. Purpose: Biometric authentication (like facial recognition) may be used exclusively for secure access control in enterprise environments.
