Last updated: 1st March 2026

Aftwatch is a trading style of Consider I.T. Solutions Ltd, registered in England and Wales.

This Privacy Policy explains how Aftwatch collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you use:

1. Who We Are

Aftwatch provides GPS tracking and asset monitoring services for marine, fleet, plant and professional applications.

Depending on how the service is used, Aftwatch may act as:

• A Data Controller – where we manage platform accounts and system access
• A Data Processor – where customers use our platform to monitor vehicles, assets or personnel

2. Data We Collect

Account Information

When an account is created, we may collect:

• Name
• Company name
• Email address
• Username
• Contact details

Accounts are created by Aftwatch administrators and issued to authorised users.

Device & Location Data

When a tracking device is active, the system processes:

• GPS coordinates
• Speed
• Direction
• Timestamp
• Device identifiers
• Vehicle or asset identifiers

This data is transmitted securely to Aftwatch servers hosted in the United Kingdom.

The Aftwatch Manager application does not collect GPS location directly from the user’s mobile device. Location data displayed within the app is retrieved from authorised tracking devices connected to the Aftwatch platform.

App Technical Data

The mobile applications may collect limited technical data including:

• Device model
• Operating system version
• Application version
• Diagnostic crash information

This is used solely to maintain and improve service reliability.

3. Push Notifications

Aftwatch uses Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver push notifications.

Firebase may process:

• Anonymous device tokens
• Message delivery metadata

Firebase does not receive location history or account credentials.

Firebase services are operated by Google LLC.

Firebase services operate as independent data processors under Google’s terms and privacy framework.

4. Crash Diagnostics

Aftwatch uses Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymised crash reports to improve application stability.

Crash data may include:

• Device type
• OS version
• App version
• Technical error logs

No live tracking data is transmitted to Crashlytics.

5. How We Use Data

We use data to:

• Provide GPS tracking services
• Display live and historical tracking information
• Deliver alerts and notifications
• Maintain system security
• Improve platform performance

We do not sell personal data.

6. Data Hosting & Security

All core tracking data is hosted within Aftwatch private cloud infrastructure in the United Kingdom.

We implement:

• Encrypted communications (HTTPS/TLS)
• Role-based access controls
• Authentication controls
• Secure server infrastructure

7. Fleet & Employer Responsibilities

Where fleet or business customers use Aftwatch to monitor vehicles or personnel:

• The customer acts as Data Controller
• Aftwatch acts as Data Processor

Customers are responsible for:

• Informing employees of monitoring
• Providing lawful basis for tracking
• Maintaining appropriate employment policies

Aftwatch processes tracking data solely on customer instructions.

8. Data Retention

Tracking data is retained according to customer configuration and contractual agreement.

Account data is retained while the account remains active.

9. Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, individuals may have the right to:

• Access personal data

Upon verification of identity, Aftwatch will:

• Disable the account

• Remove tracking data associated with that user where applicable

Where Aftwatch acts as a Data Processor on behalf of a fleet or business customer, deletion requests may need to be directed to the relevant Data Controller (the customer organisation).
