The Provider recommends installing such updates immediately after they have been made available via Google Play or App Store in the case of iOS devices.

Article 7. Privacy and Security
- Geolocation data transfer is obligatory and necessary to fulfil the Application User’s obligations related to the payment of the electronic Toll or the transport of goods in the SENT system.
- The current location is taken to determine the amount of the electronic Toll and to monitor the transport of goods in the SENT system. Geolocation data is collected continuously, even if the Application is running in the background during the trip.
- Where the obligatory electronic Toll is paid using the Application, geolocation data is collected to detect whether the road section being covered by the Application User is a toll section – in this case, the collected data is used only to calculate the amount of the due electronic Toll. In the case of the Application function related to the monitoring of the transport of goods in the SENT system, data is transferred on a continuous basis to control the transport of goods. Geolocation data is neither stored or used for other purposes. The data transfer frequency is configurable and ranges from 5 to 60 seconds.

- The Provider informs that it takes the utmost care to ensure a high level of IT security of the Application and Application User data.
