← Before The Storm
Privacy
Last updated November 14, 2026. The app is still in development, and this page will be updated before it is released.
The short version
The app has no accounts and no sign-in. What you enter stays on your phone unless a feature below says otherwise.
What stays on your phone
- The age and sex you choose so the first aid steps match the person.
- Saved guides and checklist ticks.
- Your family name, family plan, check-ins and messages.
- The area you pick for the weather radar.
What leaves your phone
- Weather radar. To draw the map, the app asks the U.S. National Weather Service and the Iowa State University radar archive for a picture of a map region. That request shows them the region, not who you are.
- Your location, if you tap “Use my location”. It is rounded to about seven miles before it is used or saved, and it is only used to centre the map.
- Family check-ins over radio. Check-ins are sent as plain text over your own mesh radio on a shared channel. Anyone on that channel can read them.

Changes
If the app gains features that collect anything more, such as alerts or purchases, this page will say so before those features are released.
