Personal data, i.e. your name, your postal address, your telephone number, your e-mail address as well as any data communicated on our Site and our Application constitute confidential data.

Depending on the situation, the uses are as follows:

Providing you with alert services

  • The use of the Alert service requires that your mobile device be geolocated at the time you alert your contacts.
  • The use of the Alerting service also requires that your mobile device be geolocated at the time you proceed with the alert.
  • Finally, the use of the Tracking service, the Silent Alert service or the Downward Alert service, requires imperatively that your mobile device is geolocated continuously. With your express prior consent, the GeoAlert App collects location data in the background and transfers it to the Site to indicate your location to your Contacts in the event of an alert or to inform you of a major incident near your location.

It is important to note that many mobile devices with built-in GPS capability allow users to “turn off” the sending of location data to GeoAlert. If you do not wish to report your location, please disable the geolocation service on your device. However, disabling the geolocation service will prevent you from using the Alert services.
