- Emergency Contacts: You may choose to add emergency contacts to your profile. We collect their names, phone numbers, and relationship to you.
- Location Data: We collect precise location data to enable the app’s core features, such as sending emergency alerts and sharing your location with your emergency contacts and upto 9 nearby users.
- Device Information: We collect information about your device, including the device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
- Usage Data: We collect data about how you interact with the app, such as the features you use and the duration of your sessions.

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

- Access and Update: You have the right to access and update your personal information within the app.
- Opt-Out: You may opt out of certain data collection practices, such as location sharing, by adjusting your device settings or app preferences. However, this may limit the functionality of the app.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will notify you by updating the date at the top of this policy and, in some cases, provide additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification).
