A beacon is a small wireless device that transmits a low-power signal, much like a virtual lighthouse, allowing it to communicate with your customers' smartphones.
Please keep in mind, we do not track customers when they are not checked in to the location. The Beacons work by using Bluetooth which recognizes the Beacon when they are within ~20ft.
Customers can opt-out of this feature by turning off their Bluetooth or deselecting the "Enable background check-ins" feature in the settings menu of the Rockbot user app.
