- Reporting: Tagging the exact location of a danger zone you report.

We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only in the following ways:
- Community Visibility: Reports you submit (description and photo) are visible to other community members, but your exact identity is kept private.
- Service Providers: We use Google services for authentication and maps.

You have full control over your data:
- You can enable or disable location permissions at any time through your device settings.
- You can choose to use the app in "Guest Mode" without providing personal details.
