Privacy & Security

Security by Design

Built with the same privacy-first principles used at leading tech companies. Minimal data collection, maximum protection.

Minimal Data Collection

The app collects as little data as possible. No email addresses are required for government messaging, ensuring privacy while maintaining direct communication.

EU-Based Infrastructure

All user data is hosted on EU-based servers. Our CRM system is secured through Cloudflare Zero Trust architecture with multi-factor authentication and role-based access control.

No Personal Data Shared

Emergency messages and notifications reach citizens without exposing any personal information. Location-based targeting uses network detection, not stored personal data.

EU Infrastructure

Fully hosted in the European Union. GDPR by default.

All data is stored and processed on servers within the European Union. This is not an optional setting or a premium feature. It is how the platform is built from the ground up.

EU-only data residency

User data never leaves EU jurisdiction. All servers, backups, and processing happen within EU borders.

GDPR compliant by design

Data minimization, purpose limitation, and storage limitation are built into the architecture, not added as an afterthought.

Cloudflare Zero Trust security
