Sanitation Officers Assoc. 3.4.0

The SOA Local 444 App facilitates real-time engagement for its members, offering a streamlined interface to access the latest news, events, volunteering opportunities, and job training resources. Users can navigate through content efficiently, marking items of interest for quick reference while dismissing irrelevant information. This functionality empowers members to actively participate in significant initiatives without missing critical updates.

One of the noteworthy features of the app is HereNow, which delivers timely, location-based information regarding relevant events and resources through push notifications. For instance, when a follower attends a rally related to SOA Local 444's initiatives, they receive a notification with pertinent talking points directly on their mobile device. Users have control over this feature, with the option to opt-in or decline notifications.

The HereNow feature operates on persistent location services, enabling the delivery of contextually relevant content. Organizations can establish specific locations, set radius limits, and designate time frames for content delivery. When users who have opted in for notifications and enabled location sharing enter designated areas, they receive the associated content. It is essential to clarify that user data is neither sold nor shared; there is no advertising within the platform. Location data is exclusively used for transmitting HereNow content from organizations that users have chosen to follow. The app assesses user proximity to HereNow activation zones without maintaining records of user travel history or location tracking.
