- The site says location reaches its server only as an approximately 11-kilometer zone, not an exact position.
Field notes
The described service uses a receiver configured for a covered zone to receive earthquake notices and forward them to iPhones there; the landing page says Canarito does not detect quakes itself. Its privacy explanation says the server receives, at most, a zone of about 11 kilometers rather than an exact location. The site also warns that alerts may be late, absent, or sent without an earthquake.
