02 / Mobile application

RAS Mobile

Last updated:

RAS Mobile is the internal mobile app of Recovery Advisers Pte. Ltd. for its employees, on iPhone, iPad and Android. It works only with a work account issued by Recovery Advisers; there is no public sign-up, and it is not the client portal. This section explains what the app collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.

What the app collects

  • Your account: your name, work email address and user ID, received from Recovery Advisers’ Microsoft sign-in when you sign in.
  • Case information: the cases, activities, notes, recoveries and payments you view or record. This can include details of the people and companies a case concerns, such as names, phone numbers, addresses and amounts owed or paid.
  • Photos and documents: only the ones you choose to take with the camera or attach from your photo library.
  • Voice recordings: only while you record a voice note or speak a question to VERA, the in-app assistant.
  • Location: only while you record a field visit, to note where it took place. The app does not track your location in the background.
  • Diagnostics: crash and performance reports, linked to your user ID so problems can be traced. They do not include your name or the content you enter.
  • Device and notifications: a push notification token and an identifier the app creates for your device, so notifications reach the right phone.

Face ID, Touch ID and fingerprint unlock are handled by your device. The app never receives your biometric data.

How it is used

This information is used to run the app’s features for your work at Recovery Advisers, to keep your account secure, and to find and fix problems. It is not used for advertising, it is not used to track you across other apps or websites, and it is not sold.

AI features

VERA, dictation, voice notes, translations and AI summaries send the content you give them to AI providers that process it on behalf of Recovery Advisers: Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. That includes your messages and recordings, and the case details and documents an answer needs.

The app asks for your permission before anything is sent to these providers, and nothing is sent if you choose “Not now”. You can turn AI features off at any time in the app, under Profile → AI data sharing.

AI answers can contain mistakes; check them before relying on them.

Who it is shared with

Recovery Advisers shares information from the app only with service providers that work for it, and only so they can provide their service:

  • Microsoft, for sign-in and for case documents stored in SharePoint.
  • Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, for the AI features described above, after you allow them.
  • Sentry, for crash and performance reports, stored in the European Union.
  • Expo, Apple and Google, to deliver push notifications.

Information you record about a case is visible to the Recovery Advisers colleagues who work on that case.

How it is protected

All data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Your sign-in is kept in the phone’s secure storage (the iOS Keychain or Android Keystore).

What stays on your phone

Work you save while offline, and unfinished drafts, are kept in the app’s storage until they are sent. If someone else signs in on the same phone, your queued work is held for you for up to 30 days and then deleted. Signing out removes your queued work and drafts from the phone.

How long it is kept

Work records are kept for as long as Recovery Advisers needs them for its cases and its legal obligations. Crash and performance reports are kept for a limited period and then deleted.

Your choices and requests

Camera, photos, microphone, location and notifications can each be refused or turned off in your phone’s settings. The rest of the app keeps working without them.

AI features can be turned off in the app under Profile → AI data sharing.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your personal data by writing to support@recoveryadvisers.com. Accounts are managed by Recovery Advisers; when you leave the company, your account is closed and you can ask for your personal data to be deleted.

Who the app is for

RAS Mobile is for Recovery Advisers employees only and is not directed at children.
