SafeSteps shows patterns of unsafety without revealing identity, exact locations, or public descriptions of reports.
01
No account, name, email, or phone number is required to submit a report. We never ask for a public identity or credentials that could link the report back to you.
02
SafeSteps does not use GPS and has no “current location” button. You choose the location by clicking on the map.
03
Before storage, the location becomes an approximate area of about 100 m. Publicly, zones are shown — not precise points.
04
Incident descriptions are used only by moderators to review reports. Descriptions are not shown on the public map and are not used for public statistics.
05
Only approved reports appear on the public map as grouped approximate zones. The community sees patterns and counts — not individual stories or descriptions.
The map uses OpenStreetMap tiles. Loading the map sends standard web requests to OpenStreetMap project servers.
This may reveal the IP address of the device you use to access the app. SafeSteps does not control or log this traffic.

The report form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect against automated submissions. This sends limited technical data to Cloudflare when submitting the form.
Turnstile is designed not to use tracking cookies.

The app does not store user IP addresses. Rate limiting uses a temporary in-memory HMAC pseudonym instead of raw IP.
This key is not a raw IP address, is not written to disk, and is deleted after the time window expires.
Once you submit a report, it cannot be edited or deleted by you. This protects the integrity of the record and your anonymity.
