1. What is Personal Information?

Personal Information is personally identifiable information such as your name, telephone number, email address and any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing information. Personal information does not include aggregate information, which is general user data we collect about the use of 1Push. Our Privacy Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate information.

2. What Personal Information Does 1Push Collect?

2.1 Information you provide for the use of technology

- Registration and Profile Information. When you create an account, we may collect your personal information such as your first and last name, email address and mobile phone number. If you want to add a contact’s name to your account, we collect the contact’s name, email address, and mobile phone number. We may collect billing information when you sign up for the Premium service.


- Geolocation. We collect your unique user identifier and your location through GPS while the application is running and also; if allowed by you, in the background even when the application is closed in order to obtain your location for the purposes of providing the 1Push Service. We collect the location of your designated Location Alerts in order to provide notifications and alerts when you or a nearby user sends out a new alert. We also use your location when you choose to send out an alert to nearby users with your location. If you turn off location sharing we will not share your location with other users, and you will not be able to send out or receive alerts to nearby users; however, while you are logged in to your account. We maintain location information only so long as is reasonable to provide the Service and then delete the location data.


2.2 Automatically collected information through the use of technology:

When you use the 1Push Service, we and our business partners may collect certain information about your computer or device through technology such as cookies, web beacons, log files, or other tracking/recording tools.

The service is intended to be used by children under 13 only with parental approval. If a parent wishes to add a User who is under 13 to the Family account, the parent must send 1Push Parental Consent via email. The child’s personal information will be shared with other members of the family account. 1Push may then use the child’s personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. However, we do not use or share personal information collected from the accounts of children under 13 for marketing or advertising purposes, or permit our third party partners to collect and use such information for advertising purposes.


Please contact us at support@1push.co.za if you have questions about your child’s account. If you believe that we might have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us.
