Scope, Applicability & Data Controller Identity
This Privacy Policy applies to all users worldwide who access or use the mobile applications, web portals, connected hardware, Bluetooth tags (including Tile devices), APIs, and services operated by 360mods, Inc. (referred to herein as "360mods", "we", "our", or "us").
For the purposes of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA (CCPA), and other international privacy frameworks, 360mods, Inc. operates as the designated Data Controller for personal data collected through our platform.
When you create a "Circle" or join an existing family group, you enter a private peer network where members voluntarily share location, driving diagnostics, and safety statuses among authorized participants. By downloading, registering, or interacting with 360mods, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the practices described in this document.
Categories of Personal Data We Collect
We collect personal information directly from you, automatically through your device hardware, and through authorized Circle invitations:
- Account Registration Identifiers: First and last name, verified mobile telephone number, email address, profile avatar image, account password hash (stored via salted bcrypt), and third-party authentication tokens (Sign in with Apple, Google Single Sign-On).
- Circle & Family Profile Metadata: Names of private Circles (e.g. "Smith Family", "College Roommates"), custom Place names (e.g. "Home", "Oakridge High School", "Grandma's House"), member roles (Admin vs. Standard Member), and customized geofence radiuses.
- Emergency Contact Records: Names, relationships, and telephone numbers of individuals designated to receive automated SMS notifications during SOS triggers or vehicular collision alerts.
- Billing & Payment Details: Transaction records, subscription tier (Free, Silver, Gold, Platinum), renewal dates, and obfuscated payment tokens. Full credit card numbers are processed directly by certified PCI-DSS Level 1 payment processors (Stripe, Apple App Store, Google Play) and never stored on 360mods servers.
Precise Geolocation & Environmental Sensor Telemetry
Precise real-time location is essential to delivering core safety capabilities including live family maps, geofenced Place arrival/departure alerts, and emergency dispatch routing.
With your explicit mobile operating system permission ("Always Allow" on iOS, "Allow all the time" on Android), we collect:
- High-Precision Coordinates: Latitude, longitude, altitude, horizontal and vertical positional accuracy radii (measured in meters), bearing, and velocity.
- Ambient Wireless Telemetry: Basic Service Set Identifiers (BSSID), Wi-Fi network signal strengths (RSSI), and cellular tower identifiers (CID/LAC) used for low-power indoor triangulation when satellite GPS signals are obstructed.
- Adaptive Background Polling: Our patented motion algorithms poll location dynamically. When your device is stationary inside a designated Place, GPS sensors enter deep low-power sleep. When device accelerometers detect movement or transit speeds exceeding 5 mph, high-frequency location updates resume automatically.
Driving Telematics, Motion Sensors & Crash Diagnostics
For accounts with Driving Safety enabled, 360mods accesses your device’s internal hardware sensors to compute real-time trip analytics, safe driving feedback, and instant crash detection:
- Inertial Measurement Sensors: 3-axis accelerometer force readings, gyroscope angular rotation rates, and magnetometer orientation data sampled at high frequencies during detected drives.
- Drive Telematics Profile: Trip start time, trip conclusion timestamp, total mileage, route geometry, maximum and average speeds, high-speed threshold violations, rapid acceleration events, and hard braking instances.
- In-Transit Phone Usage: We detect whether the smartphone screen was actively unlocked, tapped, or manipulated while the vehicle was in motion at driving speeds. We do not record keystrokes, screen contents, or audio recordings.
- Crash Impact Vectors: In the event of sudden severe deceleration indicative of a vehicular collision (>25 mph pre-impact velocity), we capture multi-vector G-force metrics to verify crash probability and initiate emergency response protocols.
Tile Trackers & Bluetooth Beacon Mesh Network
When you pair a Tile hardware tracker or 360mods Pet Tag with your account:
- Device Telemetry: We collect the unique hardware MAC address, firmware version, battery voltage status, and cryptographic pairing credentials of each physical tracker.
- Community Find Mesh Network: If a tagged item (such as lost keys or a pet) is separated from your phone, our global Community Find network assists in finding it. When any active 360mods or Tile app user passes within Bluetooth range (up to 400 feet) of your lost tracker:
- The passerby’s phone detects the tracker's encrypted public beacon broadcast.
- The passerby’s app silently and securely transmits the location coordinates to 360mods servers.
- The update is relayed exclusively to your private map. The passerby is never notified of the tracker's presence or your identity, and you never see the identity or location of the passerby.
