• Location Data: To show safety scores for your specific area.
• Preferences: Cities you explore to improve our mapping algorithms.

🔋 How We Use Data

We use the data collected to:

• Calculate and personalize safety scores for your neighborhood.
• Identify zones where community feedback indicates a need for more data.
• Improve Safe Route Finder accuracy based on common transit routes.
• Notify you of critical safety updates in your saved areas.

🤝 Third Party Services

We work with trusted partners to deliver our mapping services:

• OpenStreetMap: Our primary source for infrastructure nodes.
• Wikipedia: For providing historical and cultural context for cities.
