Privacy Policy

The short version

• We never show your location to anyone continuously — not even to your guardians.
• No location history is ever stored. We only keep your last known location, overwritten each time it updates.
• A location snapshot is shared with a guardian only during an actual alarm, and it is deleted automatically within 24 hours.
• Guardians use Safelyo for free and can't add you to their circle without your consent.
• We don't sell your data, and we don't show you ads.

Information we collect

Account information: your name and email address, provided by Google or Apple when you sign in. We never see or store a password.

Location: your device's location, used only to check whether a rule you created was met (e.g. did you arrive home by the time you set), and to answer “is there an earthquake near this person” for the earthquake check-in. Your last known location is kept as a single value that gets overwritten — never a history.

Circle information: the names and relationship labels of the people you invite as guardians, and the people who invite you.

Device information: a push-notification token, so we can deliver “Are you OK?” checks and alerts to your phone.

Subscription status: whether your account is on a free trial, Premium, or the free plan. Payment details (card numbers etc.) are handled entirely by the App Store or Google Play — Safelyo never receives or stores them.

How we use it

To evaluate the rules you set, and to tell you or your guardians when one of them isn't met.

To match public earthquake data against your last known location and ask if you're OK.

To deliver push notifications, keep your account working across devices, and respond to support requests.

Who we share it with

Your guardians see your location only for the duration of an actual alarm, and only if you've turned location sharing on for that rule. They never see it otherwise.

We use a small number of service providers to run Safelyo: our database and backend infrastructure provider, Firebase Cloud Messaging for push delivery, and Google/Apple for sign-in. These providers process data on our behalf and don't use it for their own purposes.

Public earthquake data comes from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC); we only read from it, we don't send it anything about you.

We never sell your data to anyone, for any reason.

How long we keep it

• Your last known location: kept as a single current value, overwritten on every update — never a history.
• A location shared during an alarm: deleted automatically within 24 hours of the alarm closing.
• Account and circle information: kept while your account exists.
• Raw earthquake event data on our servers: kept for 7 days, then deleted.

Your rights

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete my account and all data. This immediately removes your profile, rules, circle links, and location data.

For anything else — access requests, corrections, or questions — contact us at tanselbasol@gmail.com.

Children

Safelyo is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 (or the minimum age in your country, if higher).

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) between your device and our servers. Access to your data is restricted by row-level security policies, so only you — and, only during an alarm, your chosen guardians — can read it.

Changes to this policy

If we make a material change to this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
