Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 27, 2026
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how SafeTogether collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information. All data is stored on a secure server located in Switzerland.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
When you register, we collect your first name, last name, and phone number for identity verification purposes. This information is kept private and is not publicly visible.
1.2 Location Data
The App collects location data in two modes:
- Foreground location: collected while the App is open to display the map and nearby incidents.
- Background location (optional): if enabled, the App can send notifications about nearby incidents even when closed. This requires explicit consent and can be disabled at any time.
1.3 Address Information
You may optionally provide a primary and secondary address to receive targeted alerts for specific locations such as your home and workplace.
1.4 Incident Reports
When you report an incident, we collect the event type, location, description, and any photos you choose to attach.
1.5 Device Information
We collect a unique installation identifier and device token for push notification delivery. No other device metadata is collected.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Verify your identity and ensure community trust
- Display relevant incidents on the map near your location
- Send push notifications based on your location preferences and alert radius
- Allow emergency services to assist you if needed
- Improve the safety and reliability of the App
- Investigate and resolve reports of abuse or policy violations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
