Anyway, what is beacon?
Beacons are small and simple Bluetooth radio transmitters and they repeatedly transmit a special signal that other devices are able to see. Each beacon has a special ID, so it can help the hearing device to choose which beacon passes. The unique ID of beacon broadcasts a receiver like your smartphone. From that point, we can consider the receiver’s software as an app and distribute special materials to the user. It has 3 main parts; Radio, a central processing unit (CPU), and battery. They are all working with Bluetooth low energy and this is a real deal because it means that you can use it efficiently for a longer period.
Nobody is watching you! This is just a fairy tale
Many people believe that these devices can collect special information about them. This is a great misunderstanding. Beacons are just basic equipment, so the simple argument here is that they cannot get your special information. They are not safety cameras or Bluetooth scanners that they cannot capture the Mac address sent from the smartphone without your application. But it is coming from a true thing as all myths. Things are changing a bit when you have installed a beacon-competent app and yes when it asks you to use your location and always options. After allowing consumers the application, it can learn where the users come from and how users use the application. Although it seems a brake of privacy. This small tool cannot find your ID, your name or pieces of secret information. Finally, you do not have to worry about your privacy. Just lie back and enjoy new techniques that help you get a perfect shopping experience.
