Additionally, a device token may be assigned to facilitate the sending and receipt of push notifications.

Precise Location Information:

When you use a Mobile Apps containing location-enabled services, the Mobile Apps may use GPS technology (or other similar technology) to determine the mobile device's current location. Some Mobile Apps may need your precise location for one or more features to work properly.

      Respond to requests and to address any issues or concerns;
    • Notify you when updates to the Mobile Apps are available, and of changes to any products or services offered through the Mobile Apps.
    • Send you push notifications to notify you of updates, changes, or other relevant information. A push notification is a way for the Mobile Apps to send information via a badge, alert, or pop-up message;
    • For some Mobile Apps, send you SMS messages to authenticate you.

The Mobile App may incorporate technology from third party service providers. Some Mobile Apps may use Google Firebase phone authentication (formerly known as Digits by Twitter) for identity management and Google Firebase notifications for notification sending. Mobile Apps also use one or more of the following data analytics software provided by third party data analytics providers, including Google Analytics, Crashlytics and AWS Mobile Analytics. Analytics software automatically collects and analyzes information about usage of the Mobile Apps, and data analytics providers help John Deere understand how the Mobile Apps are used (such as frequency and duration of usage).

Your mobile device settings may provide the ability to restrict the collection of certain device data. For example, depending on your mobile device (and operating system) you may be able to disable the Mobile App’s access to the camera, microphone, or other features through your mobile device's settings. Some features of the Mobile App may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

Some Mobile Apps contain location-enabled services. If you do not want the Mobile Apps to determine the mobile device's current location, please turn off the location services for the Mobile Apps located in your mobile device’s settings. Turning off this feature may cause the Mobile App to not function properly.
