Bruny Island Now does not collect, transmit or store any user information except for two specific cases:

• anonymous technical data to deliver ads, help monitor app performance and diagnose any crashes (these data are collected by Google’s AdMob and Firebase services), and
• whether user devices have entered and exited a series of geofences on the road approaches to both terminals of the Bruny Island Ferry and along the ferry route. There is no information which can identify an individual user. The information is stored on a remote database and aggregated totals are processed by other devices with the app.

The app requests permission to determine the user’s location in the background after installation. If granted the app is able to periodically determine whether it is located in one of the geofence areas created by the app. A geofence is a circular area based on a latitude, longitude and radius and geofence monitoring is a feature of the device operating system. The app will still display information provided by other users if permission is denied.

The app may also include advertising provided by Google’s AdMob service. Apart from removing various advertising themes that are not appropriate Graeme Wheller has no control over the advertisements shown or the data distribution policies of Google and its partners.

Specifically, Google and its partners may be placing and reading cookies on users’ devices, or using web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on users’ devices. Apart from the general information provided by Google in its AdMob service Graeme Wheller does not have access to any data collected by Google and its partners that would identify any user.
