Safeus ("we", "our", "the app") is a safety check-in application developed by Nimrod Bar. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Phone Number — We collect your phone number for account authentication. Your phone number is stored securely in Firebase Authentication and in our database to enable contact matching with other Safeus users.
Contacts — With your permission, we access your device's contact list to match phone numbers with other Safeus users. We do not upload or store your full contact list on our servers. We only compare phone numbers to find mutual Safeus users. Contact names are read locally on your device and never sent to our servers.
Safety Status — When you tap "I'm Safe" or "I'm NOT safe", your status and the timestamp are stored in our database so your contacts can see your safety status.
Location (only if you share it while not safe) — When you mark yourself as not safe, you can optionally share your location with your emergency contacts or with all your contacts. If you choose to share, a single coordinate captured at that moment is stored in our database, along with your sharing choice and a timestamp. We never track your location continuously or in the background. How long it's kept: the shared coordinate is deleted from our database the moment you mark yourself safe again.
Groups — Groups you create (names and member phone numbers) are stored in our database. Groups are private to you — only you can see your groups.
Push Notification Tokens — We store your device's push notification token to deliver notifications such as nudges and group safety alerts.
We do not:
Your data is stored using Google Firebase services (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging) hosted in the European Union (europe-west1). Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. A location you share while not safe is an exception: it is deleted from our database as soon as you mark yourself safe again. You can delete your account by contacting us at nimomix@gmail.com, which will remove all your data from our systems.
