About Photon Access
Photon Access turns your phone into the key for your building. Open the gate and the lift with a tap — or turn on touchless and let the door open as you walk up, without taking your phone out. EVERY DOOR YOU'RE ALLOWED, IN ONE PLACE Your buildings, and the doors you've been granted in each, on a single screen. Tap to open. If you're out of range, the app tells you plainly instead of leaving you guessing. WALK UP AND IT OPENS Turn on touchless and Photon Access notices when you arrive at your own doors and opens them for you. It stays off until you switch it on, it only ever watches for your own doors, and you can turn it off at any time. LET A VISITOR OR A COURIER IN Send one link. It opens your doors for a single visit and then expires, and it works even if they have never installed the app. Afterwards your history shows what actually happened at the door, so you know whether they got in. JOIN YOUR BUILDING IN SECONDS Invited by your building manager? Your access appears on its own. Invited by phone number? Enter the code you were sent. FOR BUILDING MANAGERS Set up access controllers, add and remove residents, issue and revoke cards, and manage units across every building you look after — from the same app. ENGLISH AND ARABIC Fully localised, including right-to-left layout. PRIVACY Photon Access uses Bluetooth to reach the controller at your door, and location only if you turn touchless on. Your location is never sold, shared, or used for advertising, and the app contains no tracking or advertising SDK. You can delete your account from Settings at any time. Photon Access works with Photon Smart access controllers installed in your building. If you are not sure whether yours are supported, ask your building manager.

We're now Photon Access. Same app, same doors, new name — SAControl is now Photon Access, and Ruva is now Photon Smart. TOUCHLESS UNLOCK Turn it on and your doors open as you arrive, without taking your phone out of your pocket. VISITOR AND DELIVERY ACCESS Send a visitor or a courier one link that opens your doors for a single visit and then expires. They don't need to install anything. Afterwards, your history shows what actually happened at the door. MY ACCESS, REDESIGNED Each building now shows its doors and its visitor link together as one card, so it's clear which doors belong where. BETTER ARABIC A full pass over the Arabic copy — more formal, more consistent, and correct throughout the app. ALSO • Contact us now reaches us on WhatsApp • Terms and privacy policy are easier to find in Settings • Improvements to Bluetooth reliability at the door
