State8 Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") operates the State8 Response Watch Face application and its mobile companion dashboard (collectively, the "App"). This policy explains how we handle sensitive user information. Protecting your privacy is our highest priority, and we design our systems to keep your tactical data secure.
1. Information We Access and Use
To provide real-time operational functionality, the App requests access to specific sensitive device frameworks. This information is used exclusively for on-device processing and rendering:
- Location Data: the mobile companion app accesses your device's location (GPS) solely to identify local alphanumeric highway designations (e.g., A/B/M road numbers) and format tactical location fields. This routing logic is processed entirely locally on your device. The resulting road name is sent only from your phone to your paired watch over a direct device connection — never to State8 servers or any third party.
- Health and Fitness Metrics: the Wear OS watch face accesses system-level complications to display operational metrics such as real-time heart rate and daily step counts.
- Preferences: call signs, configuration styles, and layout settings are stored directly within your local app storage.
2. Data Collection, Transmission, and Sharing
We operate without external databases or tracking servers.
- No Collection: State8 Ltd does not collect, harvest, or store your location history, health metrics, or personal call signs.
- No Transmission: your location data, health data, and local configuration preferences never leave your physical devices. They are never transmitted over the network, never uploaded to our servers, and never shared with third parties.
3. Third-Party Services and Analytics
We do not integrate any third-party analytics frameworks, advertising software development kits (SDKs), or background tracking tools within the App.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
Because we do not collect or store any personal, location, or health data on external servers, there is no user data held by State8 Ltd to manage or delete. You remain in complete control of your data. You can clear all local preferences, cached settings, and revoke system permissions at any time by uninstalling the App from your phone and watch.
5. Children's Privacy
The App is intended for general adult audiences (specifically emergency services and frontline personnel) and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly access or handle information from children.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to maintain compliance with mobile operating standards. Any revisions will be accompanied by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
