It is important that the "client" has a mobile device with the Mexshield application and has data / Wi-Fi service at the time of the emergency, this will be the only way to provide the assistance and advisory service of medical or legal emergencies to our “clients”. The location of the "client" will allow Mexshield to provide the service for which it was contracted by the "client", anywhere in the territory of Mexico where the "client" is located.


By agreeing to these provisions, the "user" consents to our collecting of location data from their mobile devices. Mexshield collects this information from the moment assistance is requested until the service is terminated (said collection period can be indicated with an icon and a notification on the mobile device, depending on the operating system) and each time the application is running in the foreground (application open and on screen) on the mobile device.


"Users" may use Mexshield applications without giving permission for precise location data to be collected from their mobile devices. However, this may affect the quality of our services and/or some functions of the Mexshield applications. To mention an example, if a “client” or “adviser” does not allow location data to be collected, it will not be possible to request assistance or service through the application.


In addition, the location data collected from the "user" during a requested emergency service will be linked to the account created by the aforementioned, even when it has not been allowed in order to provide support, generate proof of service provision, reasons related to litigation or any other diligence of a criminal nature and health care issues, car accidents, etc.
