Overview
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Emergency Communications Division (ECD) Priority Telecommunications Services (PTS) Program developed and deployed the PTS Dialer mobile application. The PTS Dialer mobile application assists in making Wireless Priority Service (WPS), Government Emergency Telecommunication Service (GETS), and WPS+GETS phone calls.
This Privacy Policy notifies and informs users of the PTS Program's collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when using the PTS Dialer mobile application.
Information Collected
The PTS Dialer mobile application has the ability to store a user's GETS Personal Identification Number (PIN) as optional information. The user's contacts and telephone call histories are accessed by the dialer application. User's contacts and call histories are retained locally on the user's device and are not accessible by DHS or any third party.
Uses of Information
The user's GETS PIN is transmitted to GETS service providers for authentication purposes when placing a call using the GETS service. If a WPS+GETS call is made, the user's GETS PIN is also transmitted through the WPS service provider.
Information Sharing
Other than as described in the "Uses of Information" section above, the PTS Dialer mobile application does not disclose any data.
Application Security
All user settings and other data are stored on the local device. No data is accessible by any other application on the device. The user is responsible for protecting access to the device and the data it contains.
