⚠️ Important Notice

Community Watch is a neighbourhood communication tool. It is NOT a replacement for Triple Zero (000), police, fire, ambulance or other emergency services. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

🛡️ User Responsibilities

• Report facts only — not rumours, assumptions, or accusations based on race, ethnicity, or appearance
• Never confront, chase, or follow any person you observe. Always stay at a safe distance
• Call 000 first for any emergency before posting on Community Watch
• Do not share others' precise location without their consent
• Treat all community members with respect

⚖️ Disclaimer of Liability

Community Watch is provided as a free community service. The creator and contributors accept no responsibility for any harm, loss, damage, or legal consequences arising from the use of this application, including but not limited to:

• Reliance on alert information that may be inaccurate, delayed, or incomplete
• Actions taken by users in response to alerts, including confronting individuals
• Failure to call 000 in a genuine emergency
• Misuse of the platform by third parties
• Technical failures, data loss, or service interruptions

🔒 Privacy

No personal information (email, phone number, or account) is collected. Location is requested only when you submit an alert or explicitly choose a location feature. Your data stays on your device and is not shared with any third party.

🚩 Reporting & Moderation

If an alert is reported by 3 or more community members, it will be automatically hidden from the feed. This helps the community self-moderate and prevents the spread of false or harmful information. The creator of this app reserves the right to remove any content at their discretion.
