Location Based Services may work even if you are not in communication with the Monitoring Center. The accuracy of the Location Based Services is limited, and the Company, the Operators, the Monitoring Center, the Responders, or others may not be able to identify your location or the location of the Equipment precisely or at all. You authorize the Company to collect location-based information. Location-based information will only be shared with the Operators, the Monitoring Center, the Responders, any person or entity that acquires the Company and/or the Company's interest in and to the Monitoring Services, or any other person or entity you specifically designate, and only for the purpose of providing and improving the Monitoring Services.
