Privacy Policy

The short version

You do not need an account. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number. We use what the app collects to make it work: to find alerts and records near you, to run subscriptions, and to keep the service secure.

Location

When you allow location access, Responder AI reads your device location while the app is open and sends the coordinates, together with the zone radius you picked, to our servers to look up incidents, hazard alerts and registry records in that area. We use the coordinates to answer the request.

You can refuse location access or turn it off later in iOS Settings. The app then uses an approximate area based on your IP address, or a default area.

Device and usage information

Like most apps, Responder AI sends some technical information to our servers and service providers when you use it, such as an identifier created for this install of the app, device type, operating system, app version, IP address and how the app is used, for example which screens were opened. We use it to run the app, measure how it is working, fix problems and prevent fraud.

Notifications

If you turn on alerts, Apple gives the app a push token so we can send notifications to your device. To send an alert for your zone we keep that token together with your zone center, radius and the alert types you chose. Turn notifications off in iOS Settings and we stop sending them. Deleting the app makes the token useless.

What stays on your device

• Your onboarding answers: alert types, age range and who you keep safe.
• Your zone radius and settings.
• Whether you accepted the alerts and registry notices.

Your age range and who you keep safe are used only to shape the app on your phone. They are never sent to us. Deleting the app removes all of it.

Where the information comes from

Alerts are generated automatically from public safety information, such as public dispatch activity and official weather, geological and emergency alerts. Registry records come from public state and federal sex offender registries. We are not the source of that information and we do not decide who appears in a registry. If a record is wrong, contact the agency that publishes it.

Who we share with

We share only what these services need to work for us:

• Apple, for maps, notifications and App Store purchases.
• Service providers that host our servers, process payments and manage subscriptions on our behalf.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, for example in response to a valid court order, or as part of a merger, sale or transfer of the business.

Security and retention

We use industry standard practices to protect your information, such as encrypted connections and limited access. No system is completely secure. We keep information only as long as we need it to run the app, meet legal obligations and resolve disputes.

Children

Responder AI is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

• Turn location or notifications off at any time in iOS Settings.
• Delete the app to remove everything stored on your device.
• Email [email protected] to ask what we hold or to request deletion.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update this page. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
