No. Your position is only sent when you communicate an alert or decide to enable a PUBLIC GUARDIAN.

The Security Level is the application setting that will allow you to have access to different functions. You can choose between three levels:

  • High: you have all the features that Alertcops offers (sending alerts, security notices, Guardian, geopositioned alerts, SOS Button, etc.)
  • Medium: you will only have positioned alerts or receive security warnings if you are in the affected area at the time these features are activated. In no case can you use the Guardian function or the SOS Button.
  • Low: with this level of security you will only be able to send alerts to the FFFCC. In other words, you will not have features such as geopositioning alerts, security notices, the Guardian service or the SOS button.

You can change your Security Level in the "MORE" menu.

Alertcops is availablel throughout the Spanish territory except in the Basque Country and Catalonia.
