Where required by law, we will request appropriate permission or consent before collecting or using certain information.
Some information is necessary to provide AirBolt services. If you choose not to provide that information or disable relevant permissions, certain features may not function.
4. How We Use Your Information
AirBolt uses personal information for legitimate business and service-related purposes, including:
Providing Our Products and Services
To create accounts, register devices, provide GPS tracking, operate smart locks, manage subscriptions and deliver connected functionality.
Order Processing and Fulfilment
To process purchases, confirm transactions, arrange delivery and provide order updates.

To send service notices, product updates and promotional communications in accordance with your preferences and applicable law.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
To comply with applicable laws, maintain required records, respond to lawful requests and protect our legal rights.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where the European Union or United Kingdom GDPR applies, we process personal information under an appropriate lawful basis depending on the purpose and circumstances.
| Purpose | Potential legal basis |
|---|---|
| Providing products, accounts and connected services | Performance of a contract |
| Processing purchases and subscriptions | Performance of a contract and legal obligations |
| Maintaining account and service security | Legitimate interests and applicable legal obligations |
| Customer support and technical troubleshooting | Contractual necessity or legitimate interests |
| Product analytics and service improvement | Legitimate interests, subject to applicable safeguards |
| AI-powered recommendations and Intelligent Optimisation | Contractual necessity, legitimate interests or consent, depending on the feature and applicable law |
| Marketing communications | Consent where required or another lawful basis where permitted |
| Optional cookies and tracking technologies | Consent or another applicable lawful basis |
| Regulatory and legal compliance | Legal obligations |
Where processing relies on legitimate interests, we consider the interests of individuals and applicable privacy safeguards.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law.
5. Location Data, Device Reporting and Technical Diagnostics
Location information is central to the operation of certain AirBolt products.
AirBolt GPS devices may report location and movement information so authorised users can locate and manage their connected items.
Location History
AirBolt currently retains the most recent 200 recorded locations per device within its active location-history system.
Older location records are progressively replaced as new locations are recorded.
Certain operational logs or backups may temporarily contain location-related information beyond these 200 active history records, subject to the separate retention periods described in this policy.
Who Can Access Location Information?
Device location information may be available to:
-
The registered device owner.
-
Users explicitly authorised to access a shared device.
-
Authorised organisation users with relevant device permissions.
-
AirBolt personnel or service providers where limited access is reasonably necessary for technical support, security or service operation.
The information available depends on the relevant account, product features and access permissions.
Diagnostic Information and Customer Support
AirBolt uses technical diagnostics to understand device performance, resolve issues and improve product reliability.
Our routine technical support diagnostics focus on information such as:
-
When a device last reported.
-
Device connectivity and reporting status.
-
Relevant configuration and settings.
-
Serial numbers and technical identifiers, including IMEI and ICCID.
-
Diagnostic events, reporting errors and system performance indicators.
Routine technical support diagnostics are not designed to provide unrestricted browsing of a customer's complete GPS location-history timeline.
However, certain technical logs may contain location-related information where necessary to investigate a specific support or technical issue.
Such information is accessed and used for legitimate support, troubleshooting, security and service-operation purposes.
Product Improvement Analytics
AirBolt may analyse diagnostic information to improve device reliability and identify technical problems.
For example, this may include examining:
-
Whether expected device reports are being received.
-
The frequency and timing of reporting events.
-
Data formats and technical completeness.
-
Missing or unexpected data fields.
-
Connectivity failures and other error indicators.
-
Firmware behaviour and reporting performance.
These analyses focus on technical quality, functionality and reliability rather than unrelated use of customers' personal location histories.
Where possible, information may be aggregated or anonymised to help identify patterns and improve products.
Tracking Other Individuals
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their use of AirBolt tracking products complies with applicable privacy, consent and surveillance laws.
AirBolt devices must not be used for unlawful tracking, stalking, harassment or unauthorised surveillance.
Where devices are used to monitor items associated with other people, customers are responsible for providing any notices and obtaining any permissions required by applicable law.
Location Permissions
You can manage certain location permissions through your mobile device's operating system settings.
Disabling those permissions may affect features that require access to your phone's location.
Disabling your phone's location permissions does not necessarily stop a separately activated AirBolt GPS device from reporting its own location through supported networks.
6. Artificial Intelligence, Personalisation and Intelligent Optimisation
AirBolt is developing AI-powered technologies designed to make its products and services more intelligent, personalised and easier to use.
As these features become available, they may help customers optimise device performance, automate selected functions and receive more contextual assistance.
AI-Powered Recommendations
AirBolt intends to introduce intelligent recommendations based on individual device behaviour and usage patterns.
Depending on the feature, these systems may analyse:
-
GPS reporting intervals and activity.
-
Device movement patterns.
-
Battery consumption and performance.
-
Connectivity and reporting behaviour.
-
Device settings and configurations.
-
Geofences, alerts and enabled features.
-
Interactions within the AirBolt mobile application and web portal.
The purpose is to help users make informed choices about their device settings and improve performance.
For example, AirBolt may recommend adjusting a device's reporting frequency to help extend battery life while maintaining a suitable tracking experience.
Intelligent Optimisation
AirBolt also intends to introduce Intelligent Optimisation, an optional feature that allows supported device settings to be adjusted automatically based on device behaviour, usage patterns and user preferences.
Where available and enabled by the user, Intelligent Optimisation may automatically adjust authorised settings such as GPS reporting intervals, motion-based tracking configurations or other supported functions.
Intelligent Optimisation will be user-controlled.
Customers will be able to enable or disable optional Intelligent Optimisation and AI recommendation features through the applicable settings.
Automatic device adjustments will operate within the features, permissions and controls available to the user.
AI-Powered Support and Guidance
AirBolt also intends to introduce AI-assisted support through its mobile applications, web portal and other supported service channels.
These assistants may help customers:
-
Understand and navigate product features.
-
Set up, configure and manage devices.
-
Troubleshoot technical problems.
-
Review relevant device settings.
-
Understand battery and connectivity information.
-
Identify potential configuration improvements.
-
Receive contextual support based on their device and account information.
Where necessary and appropriately authorised, future AI assistants may use relevant device information, including location-related information, to help resolve specific technical or support issues.
Support conversations and associated information may be retained as reasonably necessary to provide assistance, maintain service quality, investigate issues and meet applicable legal obligations.
AI-Generated Profiles and Product Improvement
As AI-powered functionality becomes available, AirBolt may generate device-usage profiles, behavioural insights and recommendations based on relevant device and account information.
These profiles may help provide personalised recommendations and Intelligent Optimisation.
AirBolt may also anonymise or aggregate usage insights to identify broader product performance trends, improve AI-powered features and develop new functionality.
Information that has been genuinely anonymised so that individuals are no longer reasonably identifiable may be retained and used for product improvement, including after the associated account has been deleted.
Information that remains identifiable or reasonably linkable to an individual will continue to be treated as personal information and subject to applicable privacy rights and retention requirements.
Third-Party AI Technology
AirBolt may use third-party AI and technology service providers to support these features.
Where personal information is processed by those providers, we will take reasonable steps to apply appropriate privacy, confidentiality and data-protection arrangements in accordance with applicable law.
Any additional use of identifiable customer information for AI model training or development will be subject to applicable legal requirements, including additional notice or consent where necessary.
AI Transparency and User Control
AI-powered recommendations are intended to help customers make informed choices.
Optional Intelligent Optimisation features will require the user to enable the relevant functionality before automated adjustments are performed.
Where supported, customers may disable or modify AI-powered personalisation and automation preferences.
AI-generated recommendations or assistance may occasionally be incomplete or inaccurate and do not guarantee a particular level of product performance.
AirBolt does not intend to use AI-powered optimisation or support features to make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on individuals without meeting any applicable legal requirements and safeguards.
If new AI functionality introduces materially different processing of personal information, we will provide additional information or obtain consent where required by law.
