Location Tracking
Location tracking in Halo is designed specifically for mobile app users and is tied to event bookings. This ensures accurate, event-specific tracking while maintaining user privacy outside of active events.
How It Works
-
Event-Based Tracking: Users are only tracked when they are booked onto an event. Once they book off, their location pin is removed from the map, and they are no longer tracked in the app.
-
Personal Devices: If users are accessing Halo via their own personal devices, they can opt in or out of location tracking through their device’s location settings. These device-level controls can override Halo’s tracking functionality.
Key Points
-
Tracking is automatic during booked events.
-
Location tracking stops immediately after booking off.
-
Users retain control over tracking if using personal devices.
Locational Tracking: The Halo System can track staff locations when logged in and operating within a Halo System logbook that you have assigned them. This enables the longitude and latitude of incident locations, task completions, and live staff movement to be tracked, in the interests of safety and response in the event of an emergency.
This is always a personal choice that is opted-in to at the app level per user on their device. All locational tracking ceases on logging out from the event or daily logbook, and permission to track location can be removed at any time by any individual, at their device-level app location settings.
However, this is a feature that Halo can optionally entirely switch OFF - if you are satisfied with staff selecting and/or describing the location of incidents, issues, and completions.
