Who controls your information
Optimal Deviation, trading as Find a Security Guard, determines how marketplace account information is used. Independent guards and Stripe may also process information under their own responsibilities.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use Find a Security Guard, we collect account, contact, profile, role, guard business, booking, availability, package, payment, payout, message, support, notification, safety, location, device, consent, and diagnostic information.
Purposes and legal bases
We use information to provide accounts, bookings, payments, support, safety controls, fraud prevention, service improvement, and legal compliance.
Location and sharing
Guard business or service-base coordinates can be shown on the public marketplace map. Client search, assignment location, and live booking information is limited to the relevant feature and authorised workflows.
Children and younger clients
Younger clients may use Find a Security Guard only with appropriate permission and supervision where local law requires it.
Automated processing
Readiness and matching indicators support security booking and planning. They do not make legal or similarly significant decisions.

You can change device privacy choices, revoke live-share access where available, and request a copy of account information where available. Contact support for privacy requests or complaints.
