## Overview

### What is a Geofence?

Geofencing creates a smart zone around your location - like an office or campus. Inside that zone, Door James can automate what matters: timely nudges, smooth check-ins, and smarter event arrivals.

**Privacy Note:** We do not track you or spy on you. Geofence data isn’t stored - it's only used in the moment to trigger the action.

### Admin Panel Functionality

**Navigation Path:**
Office > Office Information > Office Location & Geo-Fencing

1. **Placement:** A marker is pre-placed based on the office address.

2. **Configuration:** Use the integrated Google Maps view to set the radius.

   - Drag the circle directly on the map.

   - Enter parameters on the left side.

   - Fine-tune using the plus/minus controls on the right.

3. **Activation:** Once finalized, click **Save** to activate the geofence.

### App Functionality

Geofencing automates key actions for the end-user:

- **Automatic Check-in:** Triggered when entering the geofenced area.

- **Check-out Reminders:** Prompted when leaving the area.

- **Smart Access:** Powers tailored notifications and access whenever needed.

**Requirement:** On the member side, users must allow **permanent location tracking** within the app settings. Once enabled, automatic check-ins and smart notifications work seamlessly without extra taps.
