The application will use GPS technology (or other similar technology) to determine your current location. The application will never send these location information to our servers unless you request for help or you acknowledge to act as first-aider for a certain emergency case.
Your location information will only be sent to our servers as long the emergency case is active and you act as first-aider. You always are able to decline your help and the application will stop sending your location information.
