Data Usage

Your data serves a single purpose: ensuring your safety status is accurately monitored and your contacts are notified only when necessary.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your emergency contacts' details are never used for marketing purposes.

We use your data to:

  • Monitor your scheduled check-in intervals.
  • Trigger automated email or SMS notifications to your emergency contacts if you fail to check in.
  • Prevent fraudulent access to your account settings.
  • Send you critical service updates regarding your account status.
