What does the safety app on your phone know about you? Gart's answer: nothing. By design. 1. No background tracking. The alert button stays silent until you trigger it. No background location. 2. End-to-end encrypted. Alert content and chat use NIP-44. We can't read them, and neither can the relays. 3. Nothing to hand over. No identity, contacts, or location stored. You can't leak what was never collected. 4. Publicly verifiable. The live alert stream is public. We'd rather you check than trust us. We wrote exactly how it works.

Location is not tracked in the traditional sense (the app is not fetching constant updates). When you hit the button, your device takes the GPS, encrypts together with your custom alert message and sends as kind 694. the event is published to ~6 relays, while your Watcher's devices are listening to your 694 alerts, and when they find one, they decrypt its contents with a shared finder Key (shared within your Group of watchers).
