2. Information We Collect
ProteGuard is designed as a sensor-based safety detection system. The app collects the following information to provide its safety services:
- Motion sensor data (accelerometer and gyroscope readings), processed on your device.
- GPS location coordinates, used only when you consent or during an active SOS event.
- Anonymized sensor patterns, collected only with your explicit opt-in consent.
- Emergency contact information (names and phone numbers), stored securely and used exclusively to send alerts on your behalf.
- SOS event logs, stored on your device and transmitted to our servers only when an alert is triggered.
- Basic device identifiers used to associate your profile with your account.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely to provide ProteGuard's safety services. Specifically:
- Processing is on-device whenever possible. Sensor data is analyzed locally on your device.
- Data is only sent when you trigger an SOS or when the system detects a high-risk event.
- Emergency contacts are stored securely and only used for alerts.
- We do not use your data for advertising, marketing, or any purpose unrelated to your personal safety.
4. Data Sharing
- No data is sold or shared with third parties.
- Emergency contact information is used solely to send SOS alerts to the contacts you have designated. Your contacts receive alerts only when you trigger or authorize an SOS event.
- TRUEic LLC does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose your personal information to any outside party.
