This notice explains our privacy practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used on this Site. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy works in conjunction with the Terms of Use but does not modify or supersede these documents.

100% Permission-Based.

mPanion is a completely opt-in service; informed, express consent is received from each subscriber.

Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change the provisions of this privacy policy at any time by posting a revised privacy policy on the Site and indicating on the privacy policy the date it was last updated. Your use of the Site following the posting of such changes or revised statement shall constitute your acceptance of any such changes.

End User Privacy Controls

Users are in complete control of their location sharing and presence, and can change the privacy settings at any time by updating the group’s privacy settings on their mobile phone or the mPanion Web site. Users may turn location sharing and presence on or off for a specified group of contacts, or change the privacy level of information shared by updating the groups privacy settings on their mobile phone or the mPanion Web site.

Location and Status Sharing By Groups.

Your location and/or presence status is only shared with those you choose to add to a specified group, according to the privacy settings for that group. In order for you to share your location with someone, you must first either invite them to be your mPanion contact and assign them to one of the groups, or accept a received invitation from a friend. When an invitation is successfully sent, the prospective contact can view your location and/or status immediately. However, they must consent to a reciprocal "connection" before you will be able to view their location or status.

Continuing Education

mPanion encourages responsible usage of its service with in-application messaging, notifications, and our web-based guides and tutorials.
