CRISAFE
Report Safety, Rescue, Crisis Information

The CRISAFE app enables those affected by crisis (like war, riots or natural disasters) to quickly, easily and securely communicate their personal safety status to friends and family, as well as check existing dangerous situations to increase their own safety and chances of rescue in the event of an imminent threat.

We make sure that your data is protected and no location data is shared unless you want it or you need to be rescued.

Warn others about dangers or point out places where they are safe.

Security & Scalability

The system is hosted on secure AWS servers in Frankfurt (to comply with EU-GDPR) and make use of the AWS WAF web application firewall, ApiGateway and AWS Shield. Also all connections are encrypted via SHA-256 with RSA Encryption/ECDSA. We verify users by 2-factor authentication. Scalability is given due to the use of AWS Load Balancers, Autoscaling within AWS and heavy use of AWS Lambda, AWS CloudFront, RDS, S3 SNS, SQS and other systems. The API we are using is developed in a secure environment and the code is private and secured. Access to the API can only be done after 2FA-Authentication with an encrypted token via an encrypted connection.

Data Protection & Data Poverty

We make sure only a minimum of data is used and sent to minimize risks for people in crisis areas, especially in war. GPS data is only sent for rescue or location based services where needed. We do not track any GPS data to protect our customers. We mitigate fraud of location information by making sure the person sending information is at the current location. So you can only send information if you are at a location. Personal and safety information is only shared if both verified app users are matched and both agreed to share status information, GPS data is not shared unless explicitly wanted. This makes sure you only give information to people you really know ant who you want to inform.

Reasons for the App

We want to help save lives. This app is addressed to users wanting to know the status of friends, relatives and contacts as well as sharing information about danger, safety and shelter. Due to the app technology matched contacts are able to see each others safety status.

Please help us spread the app, the more people using the app, the more lives are saved.

Warning

We will try to make sure all data is protected as good as we can. But please be aware that the app is used at own risk. We will give no warranty or guarantee that any of the information is valid.


Data Protection: This app is meant to help people in case of a crisis and inform friends and family about your and their safety status und warn others in case of danger and where to find shelter. We will try our best to make sure everything is perfectly secure, and no data is sent to third parties. We will try to protect your identity as good as possible, but we give no guarantee for your safety or accuracy of any data. Use this app at your own risk, especially when you share information. In this context be especially careful about exposing your location outside of known friends.

Rescue Me: Although the status is only shared between matched contacts, please be careful with the "Rescue Me" feature so that you don't walk into a trap. Your contact's mobile device could possibly be taken by another person with bad intentions. Do not run blindly into a rescue situation, try to contact the person first and watch out for suspicious behavior.
