- Contact Information: Emergency contact names and phone numbers that you manually add to the app
- Device Information: Basic device information required for network scanning and camera detection features
- App Settings: Your preferences for SOS messages, alert patterns, and theme selection
We do not collect any other personal information beyond what is necessary for the app's safety features to function properly.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we collect is used solely for the purpose of providing safety and emergency features:

We do not use your information for advertising, marketing, or any other purposes unrelated to the app's safety functionality.
4. Local Storage Only
All data collected by our App is stored locally on your device. This means:
- You have complete control over your data
- Emergency contacts and settings are stored only on your device
- No data is transmitted to our servers except during SOS activation

We respect your privacy and limit data sharing as follows:

- No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes
- No Analytics: We do not use analytics services that collect user behavior data
The only time your information leaves your device is when you explicitly trigger an SOS alert to send emergency messages to your designated contacts.

Our App may interact with the following third-party services:
- Google Maps: Used to generate location links included in SOS messages
- SMS Services: Used to send emergency messages to your designated contacts

These third-party services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.
