Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Application. By using the Application, you consent to the collection and use of your information as outlined in this policy.

Emergency Contact Notification

When you fail to perform a scheduled check-in, the Application will send a notification to your designated emergency contacts. This notification may include:

• Your name and the fact that you have missed a safety check-in
• The time of your last successful check-in
• Your last known location (only if you have explicitly enabled location sharing)
• Instructions for your contacts on how to follow up

We respect your privacy and only share your information in the following circumstances:

With Your Consent

We share your information with your designated emergency contacts only when you fail to check in as scheduled. This is the core safety feature of our Application.

For Legal Reasons

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Application, provide the Application on our behalf, or assist us in analyzing how our Application is used. These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication and authorization mechanisms
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
• Access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can access user data

Despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information transmitted through our Application.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Please notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Access and Correction

You can access and update your personal information directly within the Application settings. You can modify your profile information, emergency contacts, and notification preferences at any time.

Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the email address below. We will process your request within 30 days, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain information.

Opt-Out Rights

You can opt out of non-essential notifications through the Application settings. However, safety-critical notifications related to missed check-ins cannot be disabled as they are fundamental to the Application's purpose.

Do Not Track

Our Application does not respond to Do Not Track signals as we do not engage in cross-site tracking.

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data to the United States and process it there. By using the Application, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
