Location services are essential to Saferadar's functionality:

• •Seekers: Share location when requesting help
• •Givers: Share location when accepting and responding to help requests
• •Both Parties: Live location tracking during active assistance

Our app uses optimized location updates:

• •Updates sent when you move 10+ meters from last position
• •Updates sent every 5 seconds during active help requests
• •High-accuracy GPS mode with battery-efficient fallbacks

You can control location access through:

• •Device Settings: Enable/disable location services for the App
• •In-App Controls: Toggle "Active Helper" status for Givers
• •Session Control: Location sharing stops when help request completes

Note: Disabling location services will prevent the App from functioning properly.

• •Room-based communication ensures only matched parties communicate
• •Automatic reconnection when navigating between screens

During active sessions, the following data is transmitted in real-time:

• •GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude, accuracy)
• •Movement data (speed, direction)
• •Connection status and room membership
• •Help request status updates

• •All socket communications are encrypted
• •Room membership is validated on the server
• •Only matched Seeker-Giver pairs can join the same private room

• •Encryption: Data encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL
• •Authentication: JWT tokens with auto-refresh for secure sessions
• •Access Control: Room-based access restrictions
• •Socket Security: Validated connections and event authorization
