========= Technical ==============
SpotAware leverages Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Location service of the iOS device in order to function. Cellular or WiFi access to internet is also a requirement. Although notification service is used, SpotAware users have the option to enabled or disabled notification service for the app.

SpotAware content is only delivered and available while a user is within the perimeters of a SpotAware enabled location. Once a user exits a Spotware enabled location the content is no longer accessible. SpotAware app has a breadcrumb feature that allows a log of SpotAware enabled places, visits, and dwell time. The breadcrumb feature is disabled by default but user has the option to enable it and even clear any breadcrumb logs captured.

SpotAware enabled locations are locations equipped with BLE beacons and have opted to subscribe to the SpotAware service. A subscribed SpotAware location would provide and approve all content delivered by the SpotAware app for that location. Unique identifiers for the locations and beacons are used to obtain location specific content via the SpotAware web service.
