Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 20, 2025
Last Updated: June 20, 2025
We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and dignity. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your information when you use our platform. This application is built for survivors, allies, and communities impacted by sexual assault, and our highest priority is protecting your safety, anonymity, and trust.

Introduction

We understand that privacy is essential—especially in the context of sexual assault response and recovery. This app is designed to provide support without requiring personal identification. We minimize data collection, prioritize encryption, and empower users with complete control over their information.

Information We Collect

We only collect information that is essential to the functioning of the app, and only with your consent.

a. Automatically Collected Data

  • App usage logs (e.g., button taps, screen visits)
  • Crash and performance reports (non-identifiable)
  • Device information (e.g., OS version, app version)

b. Optional User-Provided Data

  • Notes, journal entries, or emotional logs
  • Emergency contact information (if you enable SOS tools)
  • Voice recordings (only for in-app features and never uploaded without consent)

c. Location Data

  • Location is collected only if you explicitly enable it
  • Used solely for geolocation-based services like finding nearby shelters or clinics
  • You can disable location at any time in your device settings

What We Never Collect

We do not collect your name, email, or phone number by default

We do not access your contacts, photos, messages, or files unless you explicitly grant permission

We do not use third-party advertising tools that track you

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with advertisers or third parties

How Your Data Is Used

We use data only to support and improve your experience. Specifically:

To enable features like SOS tools, journaling, or local resource suggestions

To help you find support based on your needs and location (if allowed)

To improve app performance and reliability (via anonymous analytics)

Data Storage and Security

We take strong security measures to protect your data:

All sensitive data is encrypted in transit and at rest

Optional personal content (e.g., notes) is stored locally on your device, not in the cloud unless you enable backups

If data is stored in the cloud, it is hosted on secure, HIPAA-compliant servers

You can delete your data at any time

Anonymous and Offline Use

We designed this app so that it can be used completely anonymously. You can:

Access all major features without signing up

Use offline mode to avoid any data transmission

Avoid storing sensitive data unless you choose to

Your Rights and Controls

You have full control over your data.

You can view, edit, or delete journal entries or other content you create

You can disable access to location or microphone at any time

You can clear your entire app history with a single button

If accounts are offered in future versions, you will be able to delete your account at any time

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your data with law enforcement or other entities unless:

Required by a valid court order (which will be carefully reviewed)

You request it (e.g., to send an emergency message or SOS)

You voluntarily opt to share your information (e.g., with a counselor)

We do not work with ad networks or third-party trackers.

Third-Party Services

Some features (such as maps or hotlines) may rely on external services. We make every effort to use providers that respect privacy. Links to third-party resources do not imply data sharing.

Children’s Privacy

This app is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn that a minor has provided information without parental consent, we will promptly delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will:

Post the updated version with the new date

Notify users if changes are significant (via app alert or banner)

You are in control. You are safe here.

We’re here to support—not track—you.
