Who we are

Liveathome operates IMOK. This policy explains what we collect, why, and who can see it.

Data we collect

Account: name, email (from Google or Apple, including Hide My Email), locale, timezone, terms acceptance.

Circle: invites, watch directions, approvals, checks you configure for people you watch.

Signals: I’m OK, I need help, cancel help, heartbeats, steps, movement, heart-rate sample presence, unlock/phone used, charging, geofence enter/exit, experimental TV/radio/flush labels. Each signal may include device context: GPS (lat/lon/accuracy/age), battery percent and charging state, network type (wifi / cellular / none), whether the phone is on your saved home Wi‑Fi, the current Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) when you are connected and not on home Wi‑Fi, device time and timezone, app foreground/background, and today’s step total if already collected.

Devices: push tokens (FCM), platform, notification locale.

Not collected: raw audio, SMS, call contents, other apps’ screens, advertising IDs for ads. Your home Wi‑Fi name is stored only on your phone to detect “at home”; it is not uploaded as a separate home identifier. When you are elsewhere on Wi‑Fi, the current network name may be shared with people who watch you (same audience as location).

Why we collect it

To run check-ins, show last-known context to people who watch you, send help and overdue notifications, and let you export or delete your data.

Who can see your data

Watchers with an active direction can see your recent signals and latest context (including location if you granted GPS). People you only watch cannot see your context. Pending or revoked directions do not grant access.

We do not sell your data. We use AWS DynamoDB/Lambda/S3 for hosting, Amazon Cognito with Google/Apple for sign-in, and Firebase Cloud Messaging for push. Export files are encrypted and expire after seven days. We do not use Firestore or Firebase Storage.

Retention

Signals are kept about 90 days, then deleted. Latest context on your profile stays until overwritten or you delete the account. Export and deletion requests run asynchronously; Settings shows progress. Completed deletion status is retained briefly so your device can confirm completion.

Permissions (on the phone)

Location, notifications, activity/steps, Health, microphone (experimental sounds), and (Android) phone state for call/unlock approximations are requested in-app. Deny any of them; the rest of the app still works. Help still sends without GPS.

Children

IMOK is not directed at children under 13 (or the age required in your country).

Changes

We may update this policy. Continued use after an in-app notice means you accept the update.
