Bull Horns Panic Button

Allows you to instantly alert your community, security company or the police to come and help you. As seen on national television. Ideal for use by Community Policing Forums (CPF) and Neighbourhood Watches in South Africa.

Sends your emergency contacts your location by SMS and, if your security company partners with us, they can see your exact location in real-time. You can also add and receive local crime and suspicious activity reports. This app only uses GPS and data when it is open and being used.

- in an emergency, your emergency contacts receive an SMS notification with your location. We (or your security company if they partner with us) can also remotely track your location in real-time, even if you can't speak or are on the move.

- your phone will call the emergency number you selected.

- activate the panic with just one press from your earphones or your Android Wear smart watch (beta).

- receive notifications of crimes or suspicious activities near to you.

- easily report crimes and suspicious activities and automatically notify people in your community.

- view crime locations and hotspots on a map.

- allow us to track your location if you are going into a situation you are nervous about.

- record audio with one touch (to, for example, record an official soliciting a bribe).

- upload a "selfie" photo to help the police or your security company recognise you in an emergency situation.

- the app has national emergency numbers of more than 150 countries pre-loaded.

- generate data to combat crime.

Please note we do not actively monitor or respond to panic or follow me activations. Your emergency contacts may or may not do so. If your security company partners with us they will receive alerts including a link to show your details and location and they may use this information to actively respond. The performance of third parties (including the police and security providers) is out of our control.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Why does the app require all these permissions?

Some app users are concerned about the number of permissions the app requires, which is especially obvious in Android 6 (Marshmallow). In general, the app only uses additional permissions when the user initiates specific activities where these are required. Here are the specific examples of how it uses the permissions:

Contacts - When you add emergency contacts, you can select them from your existing contacts.

Location - When you activate the panic button or the “Follow Me” button, the app can tell your contacts and security company (if they partner with us) where you are. It is also used when you want to add home location or location of crime alerts.

SMS - When you press the panic button it will send an SMS to your emergency contacts showing your location. It will also send SMSes to contacts when you cancel the alert.

Phone - To make phone call to your emergency contact when you press the panic button.

Photos/Media/Files - So you can add a photo of yourself (at registration) or a crime (when adding an alert). The app never does this in the background - you must initiate this.

Microphone - To record audio when you press the “Record Audio” button only.

Data - The main way the app uses data is when you press the panic button or follow me button (to send a small data alert to the backend database), at registration and adding crime alerts (to save details to the database), to use the map (e.g. to find your home location or crime locations) or to use the online shop.

Identity - So Google Play knows who has downloaded it and so users can access across devices.

Device ID and call information - Device ID so we can synchronise your app details if, for example, you delete the app and re-install it.

经常问的问题。

为什么应用要求所有这些权限？

有些应用程序用户关心的应用程序需要的权限的数量，这是Android的6（棉花糖）尤为明显。在一般情况下，当用户发起其中这些要求的具体活动应用仅使用附加的权限。下面是它如何使用权限的具体例子：

联系方式 - 当您添加紧急联系人，你可以从现有的联系人中选择。

位置 - 当您激活恐慌按钮或“跟我学”按钮，应用程序可以告诉你的联系人和证券公司（如果他们与我们的合作伙伴），你在哪里。当您要添加的家位置或犯罪警报的位置它也可以用来。

短信 - 当您按下紧急按钮，将短信发送到您的紧急联络人显示你的位置。当您取消警报也将发送短信息给联系人。

电话 - 要打电话给你的紧急联络人，当你按下紧急按钮。

照片/媒体/文件 - 所以，你可以添加自己的照片（在注册）或犯罪（添加警报时）。该应用程序从来不会这样的背景 - 你必须启动这一点。

麦克风 - 要时，你只按下“录音”按钮，录制音频。

数据 - 应用程序使用数据的主要方法是，当你按下紧急按钮或跟随我的按钮（一个小数据警报发送到后端数据库），在注册并加入犯罪警报（保存信息到数据库中），使用地图（如找到你的家位置或作案地点），或使用在线商店。

身份 - 所以谷歌播放知道谁已经下载了它，所以用户可以跨设备访问。

设备ID与呼叫信息 - 设备ID，所以如果，例如，您删除应用程序，并重新安装它，我们可以同步你的应用程序的详细信息。
