7. Permissions
7.1. Background Location Fetch: TeamLynk requires this permission in order for users to share their real-time, or near real-time, location with their contacts on the application if they choose to do so. Users do have the capability to turn off their location sharing by turning on “Ghost Mode” for their location in the application settings menu. If users choose not to enable “Ghost Mode”, their location will be shared with their contacts on TeamLynk and their location on the map will be visible by their contacts while the TeamLynk application is running in the background on their device.
Note: The use of the SOS feature will be hindered while a user’s “Ghost Mode” is enabled for their location sharing. While “Ghost Mode” is enabled for a user’s location, that user’s contacts will not be able to see their location even if the SOS feature is activated either by that user or on their behalf.
7.2. Contacts Fetching/Sinc: TeamLynk requires access to the contacts on a user’s device in order to provide users the ability to invite their contacts to join TeamLynk and link/interact with each other based on the users’ phone numbers. TeamLynk will not store, share, or sell a user’s contacts for any reason.
7.3. Notifications: TeamLynk requires the permission to send push notifications to users to facilitate real-time notification of activity and users attempting to contact each other. Push notifications will include when a user receives a chat, another user has activated their SOS feature, or TeamLynk has sent push notifications to its users detailing application updates, new features, or any other relevant information. Users have the ability to put their notifications in to “Ghost Mode” in the settings menu; this will mute that user’s notifications from TeamLynk.
7.4. Microphone: TeamLynk requires the permission to access a user’s device microphone in order for a user to send voice recording messages and radio messages (as these features are available). Outside of a user sending a voice or radio message, TeamLynk will not utilize a user’s device microphone for any other reason. Information from a user’s microphone will not be stored, shared or sold for any reason, other than to keep a voice message in the user’s chat history if they choose not to delete it.
7.5. Camera and Gallery: TeamLynk requires permission to access a user’s camera and photo gallery to facilitate the sharing of pictures and videos between contacts. TeamLynk will not collect, share, or sell any information from a user’s gallery or camera for any purpose other than storing the a picure or video that a user sends in their chat history if they choose not to delete it.
