Why does the app require all those permissions ?

The CellOPark Apps have been in use for over 6 years and used by hundreds of thousands of people.  CellOPark understands that in this age of on-line piracy and identity theft you may have concerns about how the required access to your mobile device could be used.

The App does not look at personal data that may be stored on the phone, but it may need access to the same areas on the phone to store data that is applicable to the App.

The more advanced and complex the app is - the more access it requires.  In this regard CellOPark is not different from other apps on the market.  It is not "just an App" and is connected to an entire system behind it and as such needs quite a bit of information to work properly.   Some of the information required depends on the features of the App.  All the access levels are built into the App and CellOPark does not look for any private information.

  1. Device & app history

    The iMoved service creates a log file, which it uses to determine when you have moved, and - to do that - requires access to those logs. The App also allows you to automatically launch a navigation App (with the "where did I park" and "navigation options"), and to do this it needs "device and app history"

  2. Identity

    The app has a built in push notification service which it uses to send information to the device for the users benefit.

  3. Location (GPS)

    Is used for assisting in pre-selecting your location ,in the “where did I park?” feature and to remind the user when they leave parking to stop the parking session.

  4. Phone

    This is used for the one click dial available through the FAQ's

  5. Photos/Media/Files

    The App requires access to these folders to create a log file that the iMoved service uses to see when you moved. The App can create/change/delete the log files.   The App does not look at your photos or media files

  6. Camera

    This is used to scan QR codes.  This saves the user from selecting the zone from a long list.

  7. Wi-Fi Connection information

    This is used to tell you when there is no internet connection

  8. Device ID & Call information

    The App has a built in option for CellOPark to send generic push notifications to the device. (for example: telling everyone of an introduction of a new feature or city) instead of doing it via SMS.

  9. Browsing History

    Some of the app pages (within the settings menu) are webpages and open an internal browser (the URL is not shown but it's simply a webpage)
