Privacy Policy

Summary

• No account, advertising, analytics SDK, or cross-app tracking.
• Preferences, broad saved places, and private Safety Notes stay on the device.
• The app has no emergency calling or responder-dispatch feature and does not send location to responders.
• Preview safety context is a planning aid, not a live emergency feed.

Approximate Location

Safe Traveling asks for location permission only after you choose a map or travel-context action. Approximate location can center the map, match a broad covered area, or choose a broad area for a private Safety Note.

Location is used for travel-planning context. The app does not select emergency numbers, place calls, request emergency assistance, or send your location to responders.

Apple MapKit may process map searches and map content under Apple's terms and privacy practices. Apple Maps also processes direction requests, including route endpoints, under Apple's terms and privacy practices. Safe Traveling does not receive your Apple account identifier.

Information Stored On Device

• Onboarding completion, language, and app preferences.
• Broad saved-place identifiers and travel-planning preferences.
• Private Safety Note text, category, timing, and rounded broad-area coordinates.
• Number preferences saved by an earlier version remain local and unused; this update does not delete them.

Safety Notes are not police reports. They are not sent to authorities, moderators, a community feed, or a verified-alert system. Deleting the app removes its local app storage from the device.

Safe Traveling Service

The first public build uses clearly labeled Preview Data and does not embed a production backend URL. If a future build enables a reviewed service, this policy and the App Store privacy answers will be updated before release to describe any transmitted search, map, route, or diagnostic data.

Emergency And Safety Boundaries

Safe Traveling is not an emergency service. It does not provide emergency calling, dispatch help, monitor a check-in, share an arrival time, or send a distress message. For an emergency, use your device's Phone app or contact the appropriate local emergency service directly.

Scores, alerts, risk zones, route options, summaries, and recommendations should be confirmed with official local guidance. They do not replace emergency instructions or local authorities.

Sharing, Children, And Contact

The current app does not sell personal data or share it for advertising. Safe Traveling is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect children's personal information.

For privacy questions or deletion requests related to a support message, use the Safe Traveling support page. Do not include exact home addresses, live coordinates, credentials, or other sensitive personal information.
