You Are Not Alone · Effective date: March 21, 2026

Information We Collect

You Are Not Alone does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data (contacts, messages, preferences) is stored locally on your device using on-device storage.

Location Data

When you trigger an alert, You Are Not Alone requests your GPS location to include in your emergency SMS. This location data is sent only via SMS to your chosen contacts. It is never sent to our servers or any third party.

SMS Messages

You Are Not Alone uses your device's native SMS capability to send messages. Messages are sent directly from your phone to your contacts. We do not have access to, store, or process these messages.

No Analytics or Tracking

You Are Not Alone does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not collect usage data, crash reports, or any form of telemetry.

No User Accounts

You Are Not Alone does not require account creation. There are no usernames, passwords, or cloud-synced data.

Third-Party Services

You Are Not Alone does not integrate with any third-party data services. The only external communication is SMS sent through your device's native messaging.

Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you can delete all app data by clearing the app's data in your device settings or uninstalling the app.

Children's Privacy
