Introduction

SafeHer - Women Safety App ("SafeHer", "we", "our", or "us") is designed to support women safety and emergency assistance. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you use the application. We are committed to transparency, data minimization, and user control in line with applicable privacy standards and Google Play Developer Policy requirements.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide core app functionality:

  • Name
  • Phone number
  • Emergency contact numbers
  • Real-time location data (only during SOS activation or live tracking sessions)

We also request device permissions required for app operation:

  • Location (foreground and background)
  • SMS
  • Internet

How We Use Information

Your information is used strictly for safety and emergency response features, including:

  • Triggering SOS alerts
  • Sending SMS alerts to your saved emergency contacts
  • Displaying and sharing live GPS location during emergency/live tracking events
  • Maintaining app reliability, security, and misuse prevention

We do not use your personal data for unrelated marketing purposes.

Location Usage

SafeHer uses foreground and background location access to support emergency protection features. Background location is used only when required to continue active SOS or continuous tracking functionality. Location collection is limited to active safety operations and is not continuously recorded outside these use cases.

Data Sharing

We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With emergency contacts selected by you when SOS/live tracking is activated
  • With service providers acting on our behalf for essential app operations (subject to confidentiality obligations)
  • When required by law, legal process, or to protect user safety and rights

We do not sell personal information.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no method of transmission or storage is fully secure, we continuously improve controls to reduce risk and maintain service integrity.

User Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access information associated with your account
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal obligations
  • Withdraw permission-based access (such as location or SMS) through device settings

Requests can be submitted through the contact email below. Disabling certain permissions may limit emergency features.

Children's Privacy

SafeHer is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such data has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it promptly.
