1. Introduction

Safe Texas ("we," "our," "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how your information is handled when you use the Safe Texas Android application.

2. Data Collection and Usage

Safe Texas is designed as an "offline-first" application. We prioritize your privacy by processing data directly on your device.

• Location Data: To provide proximity alerts and map functionality, the app accesses your device's live location. This data is processed locally on your device to display relevant information and trigger notifications. No location data is transmitted to, logged by, or stored on any external server by us.
• User-Specific Data: Your preferences, such as your watchlist, snoozed offenders, and notification settings, are stored in a local database on your device. We do not have access to this information.

3. Third-Party Services

To provide core features and support the development of this app, we integrate the following third-party services which may collect their own data according to their respective privacy policies:

• Google Maps SDK: Used to display map data and location markers. Google may collect certain technical information in accordance with their privacy policies.
• Google AdMob: Used to serve advertisements within the app. AdMob may collect device-level identifiers and usage data to provide personalized advertising services.

4. Children's Privacy

Safe Texas is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
