Privacy policy

Version v1.0

What this covers

Safe-Guide is a travel safety service for Suriname. Some of it needs nothing from you at all: the map, the safety library, the emergency contacts and the location pages behind a QR code are open to anyone and record nothing about who read them. This policy is about the part that does need something — registering a trip, marking your arrival, and reporting an incident.

What is shared

When you agree, the following is sent to the national tourism safety system:

  • The name and phone number of the two emergency contacts you give us.
  • Your trip details: where you are going, when you expect to arrive, and your backup lead.
  • Any medical notes you choose to add. These are optional and you can leave them empty.
  • Incident reports you submit, including where you said they happened.

Your QR check-in history stays on this device. It is not sent to the safety system.

Who can see it

This information is held in the national tourism safety system and is visible to the tourism authority staff who follow up on trips and incidents. Safe-Guide is a pilot service and does not guarantee that anyone is monitoring it.

Medical notes

Medical notes are optional. You can register a trip, mark arrival and report an incident without entering any, and nothing in Safe-Guide asks you for a blood type. If you do add them, they are sent with the trip they belong to and are never shown on any public page.

Changing your mind

You can withdraw your agreement or ask for your data to be deleted from the privacy page in your account. Both send a request that the tourism authority reviews; neither erases anything by itself. Some records — an incident report that has already been acted on, for example — may have to be kept.

Agreeing again under a newer version of this policy replaces the version and date on your record. A withdrawal you have already asked for is never erased by that.

This is a pilot

Safe-Guide is a pilot service. Registering a trip or filing a report here does not guarantee that anyone is monitoring it or that help will be dispatched. If you are in danger, contact the local emergency services directly.
