- Nearby volunteers see an approximate distance, not the requester’s name or exact location; SOS records are described as deleted after 30 days.
Field notes
The described matching flow limits what volunteers initially see: an approximate distance, without the requester’s name or exact position. Before meeting, each person can inspect the other’s live selfie and first name, decline the match, and use paired keywords to confirm identity. For SOS incidents, the site says it retains the initiator, time, and an approximate 5 km zone for 30 days.
