Privacy Policy
GIRT Mobile built the Galway Safe app as a Free app. This SERVICE is provided by
GIRT Mobile at no cost and is intended for use as is.
This page is used to inform visitors and app users regarding our policies associated with the collection, use, and disclosure
of Personal Information in the event that someone has chosen to use our Service.
If you do choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in
relation to this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used for providing and improving
the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described
in this Privacy Policy.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which is
accessible at Galway Safe unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection and Use
For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain
personally identifiable information, including but not limited to SMS and location data.
SMS
We use android.permission.SEND_SMS, for physical safety / emergency alerts to be sent by SMS, and android.permission.READ_CONTACTS for adding contacts to your list of emergency contacts.
Location Information
Location information is also provided to your ‘In Case of Emergency’ or ICE contacts so friends, family and in extreme cases Emergency Services can be alerted to ensure your safety. You have the option to share your location data with these parties before you first use the application. The option to share location information with the parties stated above is only possible if the option to always track location is selected even when the application is not open. This ensures that the user does not need to think about running or launching the application so user input can be minimal. It is also the case that the location information is only shared with the parties named above at certain times of the day or night. So for example it maybe the case that this is only captured between 12 midnight and 6 o’clock in the morning.
The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.
The app does use third party services that may collect information used to identify you.
