Recipients see a saved, time-stamped snapshot.
Your trust is part of
our safety system.
SafeTrace Care is designed to share the right information at the right moment, not to watch your everyday life.
Used for eligible missed signals and SOS alerts when enabled.
Your information is used to operate SafeTrace Care.
SafeTrace Care helps people send purposeful safety signals to family, friends, carers, and other trusted contacts. This policy explains what information we collect, why we need it, when a saved location may be shared, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
We collect only the information needed to operate SafeTrace Care and deliver your chosen safety signals:
- Account details: your name, phone number, and timezone. Your phone number is used to sign in.
- Circle information: the names and phone numbers of members and alert recipients you add.
- Signal activity: when a signal was due, confirmed, missed, or escalated.
- Device information: push notification tokens and limited technical data needed to deliver notifications and keep the service reliable.
- Safety events: the time and status of missed signals and SOS alerts, any note you include, and location only when the conditions below are met.
Optional location sharing
If you enable location permission, SafeTrace Care may save the latest location supplied by your device. An SOS may use a location sent with the alert or a recent saved location. An eligible missed-signal alert may use a saved location from the previous 24 hours.
Your trusted recipients may receive an expiring link to that saved location with the exact time it was captured. The page is a snapshot, does not update as you move, and does not contact a maps provider unless the recipient chooses to open one.
You can change location permission through your device settings. SafeTrace Care does not use location for advertising or profiling.
How we use information
- Authenticate your account using an SMS or WhatsApp verification code, depending on country availability.
- Schedule and deliver signals, reminders, and escalation alerts.
- Notify the trusted people you selected when an alert requires their attention.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the reliability of the service.
- Process subscriptions when you choose a paid plan.
Your choices and control
You can review and update your name, circles, alert recipients, signal schedule, messaging preference, and location permission from the app or your phone settings.
To request access, correction, or deletion of your account data, email privacy@safetrace.io. We aim to delete or anonymise account data within 30 days unless we must retain limited information for security, legal, or operational obligations.
Security and retention
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. We retain information only for as long as needed to provide SafeTrace Care, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain service security.
Questions or requests
For privacy questions or data requests, contact us at privacy@safetrace.io. If this policy changes materially, we will update the effective date and provide notice where appropriate.
