SAFE APP Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us at SAFE APP, we have a few fundamental principles:
- We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
- We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
- We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information on your website is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
- We help protect you from overreaching government demands for your personal information.
- We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.
Information We Collect
We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so—for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better. We collect information in three ways: if and when you provide information to us, automatically through operating our Services, and from outside sources. Let’s go over the information that we collect.
Information You Provide to Us
It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The amount and type of information depends on the context and how we use the information. Here are some examples:
- Basic Account Information: We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account or process your request to us.
- Communications With Us: You may also provide us with information when you respond to surveys, or submit the inquiry form.
Information We Collect Automatically
We also collect some information automatically:
- Log / Analytics Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, referring site, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information.
- Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our site from certain geographic regions.
- Information from Cookies & Other Technologies: A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. SAFE APP uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors as well as track and understand email campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads.
How And Why We Use Information
Purposes for Using Information
We use information about you as mentioned above and for the purposes listed below:
- To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our site, which helps us improve our site and service offerings;
- To measure, gauge, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, and better understand user retention and attrition;
- To monitor and prevent any problems with our digital services, protect the security of our web properties, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of SAFE APP;
- To communicate with you, for example through an email, about career opportunities, offers, and promotions offered by SAFE APP and others we think will be of interest to you, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date on SAFE APP and our products;
- To personalize your web experience, provide content recommendations, target our marketing messages to groups of our users, and serve relevant advertisements.
Legal Bases for Collecting and Using Information
For users in the European Union, our legal grounds for processing information about you under EU data protection laws include:
- Necessary for compliance with a legal obligation;
- Necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person;
- Our legitimate interest in using your information—for example, to provide and improve our services, safeguard our solutions, communicate with you, and monitor usage;
- Your consent, for example when you grant permission to receive news or promotional materials.
Sharing Information
How We Share Information
We do not sell our users’ private personal information. We share information about you only in the limited circumstances below:
- Subsidiaries, Employees, and Independent Contractors: We may disclose information to our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors who need the information to help provide our Services. They must follow this Privacy Policy.
- Third Party Vendors: We may share information with vendors who provide services to us or to you, such as delivery, customer support, marketing, analytics, or hosting. Vendors must agree to privacy commitments.
- Legal Requests: We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or government requests.
- To Protect Rights, Property, and Others: Disclosure may occur if reasonably necessary to protect SAFE APP, third parties, or the public.

Information Shared Publicly
Information you choose to make public, like public profiles or posts, may be publicly available and indexed by search engines. Please consider this when sharing content.
How Long We Keep Information
We generally discard information when it is no longer needed for its collection purposes and not legally required to keep it. For example, web server logs may be kept for about 30 days to analyze traffic or investigate issues, and deleted content may remain in backups until purged.
