Android Giveaway of the Day - SafetyNet

SafetyNet supports neighborhood and community services by providing a mechanism to alert members nearby if someone needs help. Registered users act as a support group or network each keeping an eye out for other members.

It leverages the standard features of smart phones to present a map and indicate where other registered users are. On this map others in need of assistance are highlighted but this is useless unless you are recognizable. So, information you enter to describe yourself is presented. An example of a description may be "60 yr old, tall male" or "blonde, short, young female". Enough to pick you out of a crowd especially when your location is already pointing to a position.

In order to protect your identity, SafetyNet only requires your phone number this as a way to uniquely identify you. The number is NEVER shown and will never be used in any other way. In addition, your name and description of yourself is only used to help identify you to someone is looking to help you.

We intentionally keep very limited information and keep no history to ensure our database is worthless to anyone else.
