Data Collection and Use

The systems of the National Center for the Prevention and Control of Plant Pests and Animal Diseases collect and use geolocation (GPS) data through our internal applications only after obtaining the user’s explicit consent. This data is used solely for managing and operating the Center’s activities (Weqaa Center). GPS is used to determine the user’s current location for the purpose of monitoring attendance, safety, and task duration, even when the application is running in the background. This data is securely stored on our systems and is used for compliance and operational analysis, and is retained only when necessary. Disabling location permissions will restrict tracking, mapping, and data logging features.
