Permissions

The App may request your permission to access your mobile device’s storage capabilities, sensors or other features (e.g. photos, agenda, contacts, camera, Wi-Fi, geo-location, or Bluetooth). We require access when strictly necessary to provide the Services as detailed below.

 

  • WIFI. The App requires WIFI connection to configure your Device to the Wifi network.

  • Location. Android operating systems require coarse geo-graphic location to connect to the Device. iOS operating systems require geo-location to recognize when the App and the Device are nearby. However, Versuni will not process such data in any manner. The data will remain in your mobile device where Versuni will not have access to it. You can at any time block geo-location collection through the settings of the mobile device.

 

Sometimes a permission is a technical precondition of the operating system of your mobile device. In such case, the App may ask your permission to access a certain sensor or data, however we will not collect such data, unless required to provide the Services.
