Questions & Answers

As a customer, do we need to delete personal data?2024-08-01T12:19:20+02:00

Only you as a customer can decide which alarm recipients and administrators should have access to our services at the moment. It is therefore important that you regularly review what authorization different people have and delete the personal data of those who should no longer have access to the system. In other words, this should be done naturally linked to the removal of their access rights. The same should apply to users. When the GPS device is withdrawn, the user must also be deleted in PosifonCare.
This is easily done by a system user with the authorization role of department administrator.

Auto exit inactivity sludge2024-08-01T12:24:17+02:00
Inactivity alarms (device not in contact with the system for X hours) are terminated as soon as the device is in contact with the system again, unless an alarm receiver has accepted the alarm and is thus acting on the ongoing alarm case.
Auto shut off battery alarm2024-08-01T12:24:29+02:00
Battery alarm for GPS alarms will end when the battery level passes 35% charge again unless an alarm receiver has accepted the alarm
Auto-termination of other alarms2024-08-01T12:24:02+02:00
All alarms are automatically closed after 7 days regardless of whether they are accepted by an alarm receiver or not. We assume that everyone ends all alarms within 7 days, but as we now pass alarms on via integrations to other alarm systems, this function is needed. Please contact us if you want a different time span than 7 days. All completed alarms can be found to review via Historical alarms in the alarm list

Likely reasons for inactivity alarms2024-08-01T12:23:50+02:00

If no custom settings have been made, an inactivity alarm is sent out if a GPS device has not been in contact with PosifonCare for three hours. An inactivity alarm can be due to various reasons, the main reasons being that the device is discharged or switched off, or that the device has no mobile coverage and therefore cannot pass on its information to the system. Other less common reasons may be that the device has broken down, for example due to water damage, or that it has stopped working for some other unknown reason. Please contact our support for troubleshooting.

Report and log2024-08-01T10:36:33+02:00

PosifonCare includes a reporting and logging tool, which provides access to detailed user logs and a number of reports designed to monitor the use of the services. You can access this through the Information Owner role. All customers have access to the user logs, in order to follow up how the services have been used, e.g. what individual users have done in PosifonCare during a specific period of time. Who has tried to log in etc. NOTE! this role gives access to all personal data registered on the customer in PosifonCare and cannot currently be limited per department. Remember to only give this role to users who are responsible for the management of personal data and the use of the services or have been authorized by them. The reporting tool provides enhanced possibilities to analyze and print statistics and personal data. Access to this is considered optional. Please contact Posifon if you wish to have access to it.

Time limiting access to PosifonCare2024-08-01T10:36:21+02:00

It is now possible to time-limit the authorization to use PosifonCare. The restriction is activated by selecting the date in the User valid from and User valid to fields in the user registration. This can be done both when registering a new user and by changing the settings of an existing system user. If you want to impose a time limit on an existing user, proceed as follows:

  1. Go to the user view at customer or department level in the system.
  2. Tap the edit icon of the user for whom you want to activate the feature.
  3. In the right column there is a choice Enable time limit. Click on this and two
    date fields will appear, User valid from and User valid to.
  4. Use the calendar function to the right of the input field to select the date.
  5. Press the green Update User button to save the changes.

Previously registered users have unlimited access, unless you have actively requested otherwise, which means that the Roll valid from and Roll valid to fields are blank.

User valid from means that the user can only log in from the date set.
User valid to means that the user cannot log in after the date set.

The function is intended to be used for substitutes and during vacation periods, when regular staff is not on duty and substitutes or summer staff need access to PosifonCare.
When the authorization period has expired, the user can no longer log in and needs to contact the nearest administrator to get an extension of the authorization period.

What personal data is stored in PosifonCare and how long is information stored in PosifonCare?2024-08-01T10:43:04+02:00

It is up to each customer to decide their local policy and determine what personal data can be recorded and stored in PosifonCare and who is authorized to do so.
Similarly, only the customer can determine when a person’s need for the service ends and who among their staff should and should not be authorized to use the system. Posifon therefore never deletes any personal data unless the customer directly instructs us to do so.
Anyone who has administrative authorization with the customer can easily do so themselves within the departments they have been authorized to administer. When you choose to register and store personal data in PosifonCare, which we would definitely recommend as the benefit clearly exceeds the risk it may entail, the system will generate indirect personal data in the form of positions etc. These are automatically deleted as follows: – Positions that are not linked to search/alarm 24 hours
– Position data in completed search 24 hours
– Position data in completed alarm 6 months
– Alarm log completed alarms 6 months
– Activity logs etc. 5 years Since the customer’s staff can easily change or delete the personal data at any time, we anonymize the data rather than deleting them, so that logs in alarm cases etc. will be intact. Intact means that data should exist, but be anonymized.
The log can then look something like this: ADC12x raised the alarm at 14:31 and Xyz123 took the alarm at 14:33

Which units support which security areas?2024-08-01T10:35:04+02:00

Some devices have a restriction on the type of safe area supported.
Approved safe areas per device type are:
Keruve: Circle
Navy: Circle
Pico, Pico Pro, Nano and Nano 4G are supported by all types of safe areas.

Why am I not getting a new positioning?2024-08-01T12:23:35+02:00

The fact that you do not get a new position on your map when searching can be due to a couple of different factors. The most common reasons we ask you to check are:
Is the GPS unit switched on?
Is the battery charged?
How is the coverage where the GPS unit is located? If you find that all of the above is in order, we recommend that you restart the GPS unit and test again. If the new positioning fails even then, please contact our support department.

Why can’t I assign safe areas to certain users?2024-08-01T12:23:22+02:00

The most common reason why you cannot assign a safe area to a user is that they do not have a GPS device attached to them. In this case, there is no button to add safe areas as these would not work. If the button to add safety areas is on the user but the safety area you want to link is not in the list, it is because that particular safety area is not supported by the device the user is using. More information about this can be found here under Help & Support.

Why don’t I get an alarm when the GPS is outside the safe area?2024-08-01T10:35:31+02:00

For an alarm to be generated when you step outside a security area with your GPS alarm, a position must first be received inside the security area. If not, no alarm is generated.
Another factor may be that the GPS alarm has been outside the security area for too short a time and has not had time to take a new position outside the boundary. This way the area does not work as a fence. The default on most of our devices is to take a new position every three or five minutes.

Wifi positioning2024-08-01T12:24:55+02:00
Our Posifon Nano and Pico Pro devices have the function that in addition to GPS, they can also pick up positions via wifi, ie the devices detect mac addresses nearby. The standard for Wi-Fi in Europe is a general range (the signal strength of routers and antennas has a limited output power due to the rules for CE marking) that allows you to reach the network in a radius of up to 50 meters indoors and 100 meters outdoors. Then the range is affected by the number of walls and other obstacles present, the material they are made of and so on. So the range can effectively be reduced to just a few meters indoors.
