Survival AI privacy policy

Back to Privacy center

Effective date: October 31, 2026

Survival AI is an offline emergency and survival app for Android, made by Baywise Labs in Tampa, Florida ("we", "us"). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use the app.

The short version

  • We collect no personal information. We have no servers that receive your data, so we couldn't see your information even if we wanted to.
  • What you type or save stays on your phone. That includes your questions, your location, saved spots, your family plan and your medical ID.
  • No accounts, ads, analytics, tracking or crash reports.
  • We never sell or share your information. We don't collect it in the first place.

What stays on your phone

  • Chat questions and AI answers. The AI runs entirely on your phone. Your questions and the answers are never sent to us or to any other company.
  • Your location. The app uses your phone's GPS to show where you are on the offline map, measure distances, point the way and plan walking or driving routes. It reads your location only while the app is open, and only on the phone. The app never asks for background location and never sends your location anywhere.
  • Saved spots, family plan and medical ID. This covers names, birth years, blood types, allergies, medicines, conditions, doctors, contacts, meeting points and notes. All of it is stored in the app's private storage on your phone, where other apps can't read it.
  • Language and appearance settings. These are also stored only on your phone.

Sensitive health information

Your medical ID and family plan can include health details. They are used only inside the app. They appear on your screen, and the on-device AI can use them to tailor first-aid answers. We never receive them.

Downloads

The app connects to the internet only when you choose to download something:

  • AI models come from Hugging Face (huggingface.co).
  • Maps come from GitHub (github.com).

As with any download, those servers see your device's IP address and basic connection details, which they handle under their own privacy policies. We don't receive that information. Nothing you type or save in the app is sent with a download. After the downloads are done, the app works with no internet at all.

Google Play and Android

  • Google Play. Google handles installing and updating the app through Google Play, under Google's own privacy policy.
  • Android backup. If Android backup is turned on, Android may include the app's data in your phone's backup to your own Google account. That's so a new phone can restore it. Google encrypts that backup, and we can't access it. You can turn backup off in your phone's settings.
  • Copying. When you copy coordinates or a phone number, it goes to your phone's clipboard, where other apps on your phone may be able to read it.

Permissions

  • Location (precise and approximate): used to show your position on the offline map and to plan routes. Location is optional, and the rest of the app works without it.
  • Internet: used only to download AI models and maps when you ask.
  • Flashlight: the flashlight and SOS signal turn on your phone's light. The app never takes photos or video.

Deleting your information

You're always in control of your information, because it lives only on your phone:

  • Delete people, contacts or saved spots inside the app.
  • Delete everything at once: go to Settings → Apps → Survival AI → Storage → Clear data.
  • Uninstall the app: this removes all of its data from your phone.

We don't hold a copy, so there's nothing for us to delete.

Your privacy rights

Some privacy laws give you rights over your personal information, including the GDPR in Europe, the LGPD in Brazil and US state laws such as California's. These rights can include access, correction, deletion and objecting to sale or sharing. Survival AI doesn't collect, sell or share personal information, so we hold none of your data to act on. You can still contact us with any question or request at the address below, and we will answer.

Security

Your data stays in the app's private storage, which is protected by Android's security. We recommend keeping a screen lock on your phone, because anyone who can open your phone can also open the app.

Children

Survival AI is meant for general audiences and isn't directed at children under 13. The app doesn't collect personal information from anyone, children included.

Medical and safety notice

Survival AI gives general first-aid and survival information. The AI can make mistakes. The app isn't medical advice and doesn't replace a doctor or emergency services. In an emergency, call 911 in the US or your local emergency number (192 SAMU or 193 in Brazil) if you can.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here with a new effective date. If a future version of the app ever sends any of your information off your phone, we will update this policy first and say so clearly in the app.
