Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information

You will be providing protected health information directly to the Company via the eBodyGuard App. Your input and disclosure of such information is done by you with the express intent that it will be used and disclosed to third parties as set forth herein. To that end, we notify you that we will use and disclose the protected health information about you for public safety, marketing, and related functions required for the effective functioning of the eBodyGuard App, its operations, and as required by law. Such use and disclosure may include, but are not limited to: disclosure to Company partners, affiliates, and law enforcement agencies, including first responders, EMTs, and 911 operators; marketing and related purposes; provision of data, recordings, and related electronic communications to law enforcement agencies and judicial officers; communications with medical professionals and/or emergency services; and any other related purpose.

 

In the event that you are providing information related to another individual, including a minor child, your authorization indicates that you have current authority to make decisions for such individual or minor child and that you are a personal representative for all purposes relating to such individual or minor child’s protected health information.

Location Data Collection and Use

The eBodyGuard App collects your precise GPS location and approximate location while in use. The App also collects location data in the background — including when the App is not actively open — and runs a continuous location service to support real-time safety monitoring. This data is used exclusively to:

 

  • Provide emergency response coordination
  • Communicate your location to 911 operators, EMTs, first responders, and law enforcement
  • Support the core personal safety features of the App

 

Location data may be shared with emergency services, law enforcement agencies, and Company partners as described in this policy. The App is designed to restart its location services when your device reboots to ensure uninterrupted safety coverage.

 

All location information is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy, HIPAA, and applicable data privacy laws. By using the App, you consent to this location data collection and its use as described above.

If you prefer, we will prepare a summary or an explanation of your protected health information for a fee. Please contact us for a full explanation of our fee structure. Without your written authorization, we will not disclose your health care information except as described in this notice.

Legal Notice

 

This document is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Admissibility, evidentiary weight, and constitutional determinations are made by courts of competent jurisdiction. eBodyGuard’s platform is designed to support lawful evidence preservation and chain-of-custody practices consistent with applicable law.

Why eBodyGuard Does Not Offer Deletion — And Why That Protects Everyone

eBodyGuard is a life-safety platform. Every design decision we make is made with one question in mind: does this protect the person in crisis, or does it put them at greater risk?

The absence of a deletion option is not an oversight. It is one of the most important safety decisions we have made — and it is the right one.

The Problem With Deletion in a Life-Safety Context

Platforms that offer evidence deletion assume that a request to delete is always made freely, voluntarily, and without coercion. In the populations eBodyGuard serves — survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, stalking, and violent crime — that assumption is dangerous.

A survivor being threatened by their abuser may be told to delete their evidence. A trafficking victim may be coerced into clearing their record. A witness to a homicide may be pressured to remove footage. In each of these scenarios, a deletion function does not protect the user. It becomes a tool used against them.

eBodyGuard cannot verify the conditions under which a deletion request is made. We cannot see whether a hand is on someone’s shoulder when they make that request. We cannot know whether the person asking is the user, or someone controlling the user. Because we cannot know — we do not offer the option.

This is not a limitation. It is a life-safety design decision aligned with constitutional protections..

The Architecture of Permanent Evidence

Every piece of evidence captured through the My eBodyGuard Program™ is:

  • Owned by the User — the individual who captured the evidence retains ownership and lawful rights of access, subject to evidence-preservation requirements and applicable law
  • Permanently stored — evidence is retained in a secure, encrypted, private cloud with no expiration, no automatic deletion, and no third-party override
  • Tamper-proof from the moment of capture — every record is timestamped, immutable, and designed to preserve chain-of-custody integrity from the instant it is created
  • Court-ready — the evidentiary record is preserved in a format that is admissible, defensible, and traceable from capture through prosecution
  • Constitutionally protected — 4th Amendment protections are enforced at the infrastructure level, not by policy, protecting individuals, law enforcement, and witnesses simultaneously

When Law Enforcement Has Standing

eBodyGuard’s evidence framework is not in conflict with law enforcement. It is designed to work with it.

At the moment a 911 call is placed, the laws and jurisdiction of the relevant city, county, or state are activated. Evidence access remains subject to applicable legal process and jurisdictional authority. The evidentiary record associated with that event becomes subject to the lawful authority of that jurisdiction. eBodyGuard cooperates fully with all authorized law enforcement requests connected to a 911 event — from the moment the call is made through the full course of investigation and prosecution.

Upon receipt of a lawful subpoena or court order, eBodyGuard is legally obligated to cooperate and will do so fully, in compliance with FBI CJIS Security Policy and all applicable federal and state law.

In the event of a User’s death, evidence may be accessed by law enforcement through a subpoena or court order, or by a pre-designated trusted contact named in the User’s Safety Card profile through eBodyGuard’s formal review process. Access by a trusted contact is limited to the scope authorized by the user and subject to identity verification and platform review safeguards.

 

What This Means for First Responders and Prosecutors

For the first time, law enforcement arrives at a scene with evidence that:

  • Was created at the moment of the incident — not reconstructed afterward
  • Has never been altered, deleted, or tampered with
  • Is timestamped, encrypted, and designed to preserve integrity from capture
  • Is available within minutes of a 911 call through the My eBodyGuard First Responder Portal™
  • Survives device loss, theft, destruction, and coercion

The gap between a citizen in crisis and a first responder in the field is where evidence disappears. eBodyGuard closes that gap — permanently, securely, and constitutionally — in real time, every time.

A Note on Platform and Regulatory Compliance

eBodyGuard’s no-deletion policy is fully documented in our Privacy Policy and Evidence Retention & Chain of Custody Policy, available at www.ebodyguard.org. Our policy framework has been reviewed by our Chief Legal Officer and is compliant with FBI CJIS Security Policy, HIPAA, COPPA, FERPA, and applicable federal and state privacy law.

The preservation of evidence is not in conflict with privacy. It is the highest expression of it — because it protects the most vulnerable people from having their truth erased.
