HOW IT WORKS

An IP protocol more efficient SOS than a phone call or an SMS!

🔒 Your privacy matters!

We take your data seriously: App-Elles® is fully GDPR compliant, and we utilize industry-leading privacy and security protocols to protect your information.

Alert your trusted contacts

in real-time

A private network of trusted contacts

Your contacts are alerted instantly,

Your position is tracked and geolocated,

Speak, everything is listened to live,

All data is recorded and saved,

Call the emergency services at the same time.

Strengthen the role of each other. Users must first invite and agree to connect to each other. This relationship of trust can only be created at the initiative of the user wishing to be protected. They are the only ones who can launch an invitation to a contact to ask them to be their protector. The contact can then accept or refuse it. Each user can only have a maximum of 3 protectees and 3 protectors. This limit is intended to create commitment and to strengthen the bond between protectees and protectors. A strong social network is shown to help victims end the cycle of violence sooner.

Help your loved ones

in distress

A real-time connection

Connect to the situation in one click,

Check out the address and track location,

Listen to surrounding voices and sounds,

Communicate live by Walkie Talkie,

Call the emergency services at the same time.

Once the network of trust has been created, triggering an alert will automatically send an SOS to each of the protectors. They then simultaneously receive an audible warning by push notification (15-second alarm) to inform them that one of their protectees needs their assistance. By clicking on it, a screen will allow them to identify the contact in distress, locate her address, track her position in real time and listen to the sounds and voices picked up by the microphone of her mobile. All alerts are automatically recorded and saved from the first second they are triggered. Once completed, the alert can be downloaded by the issuer and can be replayed for 15 days by all contacts who have been alerted!

Data Security

No personal information requested!

To create an account, App-Elles® only needs two pieces of information:

An email address
A login password

To verify that you are the owner of the e-mail provided, a confirmation link is sent to this address. Without a confirmation from you, you will not be able to connect to other users or download your alert recordings.

No identity revealed!

So that your trusted contacts can recognize you on their applications, App-Elles® allows you to create and modify at any time:

Your username (Pseudo)
Your profile picture (Avatar)

You are invited to choose a nickname and a profile photo that only your trusted contacts will be able to identify and recognize on their applications. Sharing your GPS location and microphone is only possible from the moment you have triggered an alert and previously given these permissions to the application (these permissions can be granted and withdrawn at any time).

No strangers can contact you!

App-Elles® only puts you in touch with people you have chosen, who know you and whom you trust

As part of our core philosophy to protect the identity and data of our users, App-Elles does not have a public list of users to connect to like traditional social media. Opening up access to unknown users poses a grave risk and potential real-world danger to our users. This is why our secure system is built to ensure the protectors are only trusted contacts, such as friends and family, or other professionals who are trained to provided targeted assistance.

All your data is protected!

At any time you can disconnect and reconnect on another phone.

Your account settings and alert data are continuously backed up on our servers.
You want to report proof of violence, but your phone is broken or stolen. Connect directly from your contact's phone to find all your account data

Your alert data is kept for 15 days on our servers before being completely destroyed. You can download these recordings to keep them longer and/or share them as evidence.

Best Practices Sheet

Use a personal email address or create a new one that only you know and have access to.This address will be used to confirm your account, reset your password and receive archives of your issued alerts.

Only share your information (username and avatar) with each other. Don't use a name or photo that you already use on social media and other online spaces.
Take the time to talk to your contacts before inviting them to protect you or agreeing to protect them. App-Elles® is a tool to bring you closer together and help each other.
