- Introduction
Our users’ privacy is important to us. Our Privacy Policy was designed to make important disclosures about how we collect and use our users’ content and information and how to use the APPLICATION to share such information.
By installing or using the APPLICATION (the “App“) you (the “User“) are agreeing to the following Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully. If you object to any of the terms provided herein don’t install or use the App. We do not knowingly collect information relating to users under the age of 13, and if we learn such information was collected by us unknowingly we will aim to delete such information promptly.
- What type of information we collect?
We may collect two types of data and information from our users. The first type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a user, which may be made available or gathered via the User’s use of the App (“Non-personal Information”). If we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for as long as it remains combined. Non-personal Information which is being collected may include your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information about your device (e.g. the type of browser and operating system your device uses, Location Data, Geo Coding data), in order to enhance the functionality of our Service.
The second type of information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual (“Personal Information”). This may include User’s device persistent identifier (e.g. IMEI, MAC address, etc.), IP address, location data or any other information you voluntarily submit by your use of the App, such as email address, social network user or identification number, reports associated with your username, “home” or “work”, etc. as well as store any information you provide to us in any other way (i.e. emails, App web-site posts, customer support interactions, purchase of App services or goods, etc.).
Certain App services require you to open an account, or to provide additional information, including full name and phone number, or allow generating content, such as user’s profile picture, video or audio recordings of reports. Upon opening an account, you must complete the registration process by providing us with current, complete and accurate information as prompted by the applicable registration form. We will use this information to contact you, to verify your contact information, to set up a client account allowing you to access the App’s services, to track App’s usage and user activities in the App and to provide your report to the applicable emergency service provider. Opening an account might also be available via using a Facebook or other third-party platform provided account supported by the App (the “Platform“). By accessing the App through a Platform, you are authorizing us to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed that the Platform could provide to us in connection with the App based on your Platform settings. Your agreement takes place when you connect with the Platform account via the App. If you choose to, You can use our “Find friends” feature to find people from your contacts list who use the App. If you choose to find friends through your device’s contacts list you hereby grant us the right to access your contacts list and use this information in order to determine whether or not someone in your contacts is using the App.
- How may we use the information we collect?
We use and share Personal Information in the manners described in this Privacy Policy. The Personal Information will be disclosed to a third party only to the extent required for the specific purpose, as stipulated in the Privacy Policy. We require that relevant third party agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy.
We may use Personal Information to provide the services through the App, to improve and customize our App to your needs and to identify and authenticate your access to certain features of the App. We may also use the information to monitor and analyze trends, usage and activities in connection with our App.

- Information on Your Public Profile
Any information or content that you voluntarily disclose on your profile becomes available to the public, subject to by applicable privacy settings that you set. Anyone can see your public profile, including reports you make, users who are included in Emergency Contacts by you and the profile information you give us such as your user name and picture. We may also make this public information available through certain APPLICATION features. For example, users who are connected to you will be notified when you submit new reports. In addition, when an incident is reported we may generate a map of such reports (i.e. the “Live Map“) detailing the reports made on such incident and the locations from which they were made along with certain information from the public profile of users who made such reports.
You may limit the information we can share from your public profile, and the users with whom we can share such information through your privacy settings, as follows:
- Access and change information in your profile page at any time, choose whether your profile page is available to search.
- Choose to manually approve each request to Parent Connect you or be Connected by you.
- Choose to make your profile private, which will exclude certain information from your public profile and make it accessible only to users who Parent Connect you or are Connected by you, for example, excluding your name and picture from reports on the Live Map.
- Close your account at any time. When you close your account, we’ll deactivate it and remove your profile. We may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
