Privacy Policy
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.
