Overview

Privacy Policy

A Privacy Policy is a hard requirement for both Android and iOS app stores.  

Useful links to Apple and Googles privacy policy guidelines, explaining mandatory content for apps:  

Apple:

Android / Google:

GPS Coordinates 

If an app user has location services turned off, a map pin will indicate the default location.  This link can assist with obtaining the required latitude and longitude of your default location.

Analytics

To enable the setup of your app, we require that you create a Google account to be associated with analytics. 

Please create the account with the email address in the format [clientname].redcat@gmail.com.  Please ensure that 2FA (2 factor authentication) is not enabled as we will need to log in to this account. 



Google Maps API Key

To enable the setup of your app, we require that you provide an API Key which will be used when displaying customer facing maps during the ordering process.  Your contact from the Redcat Implementation Team can assist you with obtaining this API key if you do not already have one.
