Private Message System Policy​
At Find Me Alive (FMA), our Private Message System is a core feature of our service, designed to provide users with a safe, reliable, and secure way to record critical information in real time. Whether noting where they are going, who they are with, or what feels suspicious in the moment, users can leave private messages that become part of a digital safety trail. These messages are stored and made accessible to the user, their trusted contacts, and—in the event of an emergency—the authorities.
This policy outlines how the Private Message System works, how it protects user privacy, and the safeguards in place to ensure ethical and lawful use.
