Effective date: 6 July 2026 (updated for version 2.2 — live responder locations)
F+R 90 ("the app") is a companion tool for retained firefighters of Fire and
Rescue NSW Station 90 Menai. It is operated by InteractiveWebs
(interactivewebs.com) on behalf of the brigade.
What the app collects
Your Gartan username and password are used once, at
sign-in, to verify your identity directly with Gartan (FRNSW's rostering
system at retained.fire.nsw.gov.au). The password is transmitted over HTTPS
to Gartan only and is never stored on the device or on our
servers.
Your name, member initials and Gartan username are kept
on your device so the app knows who you are, and your initials are held by
our server to attribute responder statuses (e.g. "on the way") to you.
Responder status you set during an incident is shared
live with other signed-in brigade members.
Your live location (optional, version 2.2+): if you mark
yourself as responding to a current incident and grant the location
permission, your position is shared live with the other signed-in brigade
members on the responder map, so the crew can see who is on the way. Location
sharing is only active while an incident is current; it stops automatically
when the job ends (at most 60 minutes), when you clear your response status,
when you tap Stop, or when you sign out. Locations are held in memory
only on the brigade server — they are never written to disk, never
kept beyond the incident, and any marker not updated for 2 minutes is
discarded. You can decline the location permission and still use every other
feature of the app.
What the app displays
The app shows brigade-operational data sourced from public pager feeds and
Gartan: incident pages, station availability, platoon rosters, station contact
numbers and six-month incident attendance figures. This data is visible only to
signed-in brigade members.
What the app does not do
No advertising, no analytics, no tracking SDKs.
No data is sold or shared with third parties.
No contacts, photos, microphone or camera access. Location is used only
for the optional responder map described above — never for advertising,
profiling or tracking across apps.
Data retention and deletion
Signing out removes all pager data and your identity from the device and
ends the server session. To have your responder history removed from the
brigade server, send a request through the support
form.
