Last updated: June 2026 · SOSS (Save Our Squad Signal)

Summary

SOSS is built for emergencies in crowds. We collect only what the app needs to work on your device. We do not sell your data.

Data stored on your device

• Your name and squad emergency contact (optional, stored locally on your phone)
• App settings (flash speed, sounds, hold duration, SMS consent)

This information stays on your device unless you choose to send an SMS or share content.

Location

If you enable location sharing, SOSS reads your GPS only when you activate a signal or prepare a squad alert. Location is included in messages you choose to send. SOSS does not continuously track you in the background.

Camera / flashlight

SOSS uses the camera hardware only to control the flashlight during an active signal. No photos or video are captured or stored.

SMS

Squad alerts open your phone’s messaging app with a pre-written message. You must tap Send to deliver. SOSS does not send SMS without your action. Standard carrier rates may apply.

Beta testers & waitlist

If you apply for the Android closed beta or join a waitlist on getsoss.com, we collect your name, email address, and optional notes about how you’d use SOSS so we can send a Google Play testing invite. By submitting, you agree to receive those emails. We do not sell this data.

Analytics

The SOSS mobile app does not include analytics or advertising. The getsoss.com website uses privacy-friendly analytics: page views and button clicks (for example App Store and demo links). We do not use cookies for this. UTM campaign tags from links may be stored in your browser session only. Referrers are recorded as the site hostname (for example reddit.com), not your identity. No data is sold.

Children

SOSS is not directed at children under 13.
