The INC app uses Global Positioning System (GPS), WiFi information, travel bookings, mobile network routing information, and cellular base station information to determine the app’s location. The location is continuously uploaded to Insured Nomads servers, depending on internet access and location service settings on your device. The location is used to determine which alerts to send to your device. It can also be used to allow your Insured Nomads to locate you in case of emergencies. In order for the app to locate the user, the app works best when it can run freely in the background. On iOS, this means that you should not “swipe-kill” the app since this will lead to more irregular location reports. Push notifications will however still work. On Android, some models and apps shut down apps that run in the background or have not been opened for a few days, via so-called battery optimizers. Users should try to override these optimizations, since they would lead to locations not being reported, and push notifications will not be shown at all.
