Alive – Privacy Policy

Alive respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Alive app (“the App”) handles information when you use it.

Overview

Alive is designed to work with minimal data and maximum respect for your privacy. The App does not require an account, does not sell your data, and does not share your personal data with advertisers.

Information You Provide

Alive stores the following information locally on your device (not on our servers):

• Your name (if you choose to enter it)
• Emergency contact email address
• Check-in preferences (such as frequency)

This information is used only to provide the core functionality of the App.

Location Data

Alive accesses your location only when you explicitly tap “Help Now.”

• Location is used to include a map link in an email to your emergency contact.
• Location is not collected, stored, or shared at any other time.
• Alive does not track your location in the background.

If location access is unavailable or denied, the App will still allow you to send a help email without location information.

Email Communication

When you use features such as missed check-in alerts or “Help Now”:

• The App opens your device’s email composer.
• Emails are sent only after you explicitly confirm sending.
• Alive itself does not send emails automatically or silently.

Alive does not store copies of sent emails.

Crash Reporting

Alive may use crash reporting tools (such as Firebase Crashlytics) to help improve app stability.

• Crash reports may include technical information about crashes (for example, device and OS details).
• No personal message content or location history is collected for this purpose.
• Crash reporting is used only to improve reliability and performance.

Data Storage

• All settings and preferences are stored locally on your device.
• Alive does not maintain user accounts or user profiles.
• The App does not require cloud storage for core functionality.

Data Sharing

Alive does not sell personal data and does not share personal data with advertisers. Data is shared only when you explicitly choose to contact your emergency contact.

Children’s Privacy

Alive is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Control

You are always in control of your data:

• You can edit or remove your emergency contact at any time.
• You can revoke location access in iOS Settings.
• You can stop using the App at any time.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the App’s functionality changes. Any updates will be reflected in the App and/or App Store listing.
