When you download, access and use the App, it may use technology to automatically collect information related to your usage of the App and information about your mobile device and internet connection. The technologies and methods we use for automatic information collection may include:
- Cookies and Web Beacons. "Cookies" stored on your mobile device or computer, and web beacons. "Cookies" are files that store small amounts of information on your computer or mobile device and "remember" you when you visit websites. Cookies help make it easier to use websites and surf the internet. They keep you logged in when you are visiting a website, remember when you add an item to a shopping cart, and help make sure that the information you see is likely to interest you. “Web beacons” are graphic image files embedded in a web page used to monitor activity on a web page and send back to a server of the host site, a network advertiser or some other third party information from your browser, such as the IP address, the URL of the page on which the beacon is located, the type browser that is accessing the site and the ID number of any cookies on your computer previously placed by that server. Ability to store cookies can be controlled through browser settings.
- Random Number Generation. When you download and install one of our Apps onto your mobile device, we assign a random number to your App installation. Through this number we can identify you personally once you become a registered user of the App. We use this random number in a manner similar to our use of cookies as described in this privacy policy. Unlike cookies, however, this number cannot be removed through settings. If you do not want us to use the number for the purposes for which we use cookies, please do not use the App. We also obtain any information about your mobile device, which is limited to information regarding the brand, make, and model and type of operating software your device uses.
- IP Address. We also collect information regarding your IP address, which is a number that identifies your computer or mobile device on the internet. Knowing your IP address is necessary to allow your computer or mobile device to communicate on the internet. We also collect some technical information about your computer or mobile device, so that we can ensure the information we are sending is compatible with your device.
- Real-Time Location. Certain features of this App use GPS technology to collect real-time information about the location of your device so that the App can determine your approximate distance from the hospital or other health care facility where a patient is being transported.
Advertising and Analytics
- The Application may be supported by advertising, and the data collected helps support the advertising. This helps keep the cost of the Application low.
- We work with analytics companies and researchers to help us understand how the Application is being used and to improve the Application (see "How Google uses data when you use our partner's sites or apps"). None of the data used for this purpose will identify you.
How We Store and Protect Personal Information
We Store and Protect Personal Information:
- On secure servers. We may keep more than one copy so that if one is damaged, another remains available.
- Only as long as it is needed, as determined by Pulsara in its sole discretion.

By using several different kinds of security measures, we try to protect your data. However, no security is perfect, and no security system can prevent all security breaches.
Changes to Our Policies
