Your location may be shared with the contacts you choose when you activate or allow a safety feature that requires location sharing. Spher will request permission

This may include records relating to reports of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE), Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), grooming, or other serious violations involving child safety, where retention is necessary to comply with applicable law, cooperate with law enforcement, prevent repeat violations, or
protect users. Data Protection We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Our security measures may include encryption, secure storage, access controls, and regular security assessments.
