These locations are stored securely and are only used to geo-locate the location of a responder. We do not access your contacts or accounts. Other information such as Name, Email Address, and other contacts are not required but could exist in a linked portal account. This information is securely stored and never shared with any third party.

We will never share information collected by the app with third parties.
