SafeLink Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 20, 2026
SafeLink is designed for humanitarian communication, safety, live weather, emergency assistance, and community support. This policy explains what data the app uses and how users control it.
Location
SafeLink requests location permission only when you enable live GPS, weather intelligence, SOS location context, nearby services, or risk scanning. Location is used to fetch weather from Open-Meteo and nearby places from OpenStreetMap/Overpass. The current web app does not continuously track location after permission is disabled.
Accounts, Contacts, Messages, And Calls
Account, contact, message, call, and request data may be stored in the SafeLink backend when cloud features are enabled. Local app data can also be stored in browser storage for session persistence and offline use.
Diagnostics
SafeLink records local diagnostics such as API failures, performance warnings, and security events to help users and developers understand app health. These logs avoid storing passwords, PINs, OTPs, and full tokens.
Third-Party Data Sources
Weather data is provided by Open-Meteo. Nearby services and map intelligence are provided by OpenStreetMap/Overpass. If a trusted emergency, traffic, crime, or authority feed is not connected, SafeLink does not invent alerts.
User Controls
Users can disable live location, use manual location search, clear histories, clear local cache, remove sessions, and log out. Emergency information should always be verified with local authorities during real danger.
Account Deletion
Users can request account and cloud data deletion from the public SafeLink account deletion page.
Contact
For privacy requests, support, or data removal, contact the SafeLink project owner through the official app support channel.
