This privacy policy applies to the SafeCy mobile application ("Application") developed by KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence ("Service Provider") as a free service. The Application is provided "AS IS".
The Application does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information.
The Application requests access to the user's location in order to display nearby civil protection shelters on the map. This location information is used only locally on the device and is not transmitted, stored, or shared with any third parties.
The Application retrieves map data (such as shelter locations and base map tiles) from secure servers maintained by the Service Provider. This data is stored locally on the user's device to enable offline functionality and improve performance. No personal data is included in this content, and no user-specific data is uploaded to the server.
No login, account creation, or personal identification is required to use the Application.
The Application does not access, store, or use any personal files or media from the device.
The Application does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. Since no personal data is collected or stored, there is no risk of accidental data collection. The Application is safe for general public use.
As the Application does not process or store personal data, no user data is at risk. All data access is limited to functionality directly related to displaying shelter locations on a map.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or data handling in the Application, please contact us at:
