I’m Alright Privacy Policy – Effective Date 12/26/22

The I’m Alright personal safety app is intended to provide an automated inactivity alert mechanism for people who live and/or spend significant amounts of time alone.  Using smartphone motion sensors, the app can detect if the phone has not been moved for an abnormally long period of time and sends text message alerts to the contact phone numbers provided by the app’s user.

 

1.     Information Collected:

·        Emergency Contact Phone Numbers:

During app setup, a list of emergency contact phone numbers is entered into the app.

·        Location Information (Optional):

If enabled during setup, the app will attempt to determine the user’s GPS coordinates to provide to the emergency contacts when an alert is issued.

 

2.     How Collected Information Is Used:

·        Emergency Contact Phone Numbers:

Emergency contact phone numbers are used to send text messages to the contact list provided by the app user.  The phone numbers are only stored within the app and are not shared with any parties beyond the app user and the individual contacts.  The device’s Contacts app is not accessed.

Text messages are the alert mechanism used by the app.  During installation, the app will request that the user grant SEND_SMS permission.  SEND_SMS permission is required for this app to function.

 

·        Location Information:

This app is capable of obtaining location information from the device.

During installation LOCATION permission will be requested.  If granted by the app user, the app will attempt to include it in alert messages sent to the emergency contact list.  Location information is optional and can be enabled/disabled through the SETTINGS screen.

If location information is determined, it is visible only to the recipients specified in the emergency contact list.  It is not otherwise shared and is destroyed after the alert is issued.

 

3.     Information Handling:

Phone numbers and location information exists in unencrypted form internally within the program itself.  Phone numbers are retained within the app across restarts and upgrades.  Location information becomes part of alert messages but is not retained within the app after the message is sent.
