Terms of Use

You can freely use SharpAlert for any purpose, except when restricted. See restrictions.

[Restriction System] You can be restricted by breaking the Terms of Use, having moderator action taken against you in EAS Culture (Discord server), being muted or banned in r/EmergencyAlertSystem (Reddit subreddit), or actions outside of those provided. Being restricted means your Discord accounts will be added to a restriction list, and Discord-related functions will either be partially or fully restricted from use. In rare situations, you can be restricted from functions outside of Discord-related ones. The restriction list is public, and viewable by anyone.

Privacy Policy

[Location] The user can select locations to store locally in multiple forms. Location data is not sent over the internet, and is only used for alert processing to determine if an alert should or should not be relayed.

[Internet / Network] The app uses an internet connection to retrieve alert data from various alert authorities. No information containing personal data is sent as part of the requests.

[Discord Rich Presence] The app connects to an open Discord client to provide activity data. This activity data includes alert information, such as, the alert type, alert beginning/end date and time, locations specified by the alert, and partial alert text. Activity data is sent using the most recent alert that has been relayed, and displays for up to 15 minutes, or until the alert expires, which ever one comes first. User data is not sent over the internet, but the user ID of the connected Discord client will be compared against an online list to check the user's restriction status. Any users can be restricted for any reason that breaks the terms of use, or the rules in the EAS Culture Discord server. Restrictions may be given from incidents that occur outside of those two that are provided. Restrictions only apply to Discord functionality of the app.

[Storage] User preferences and settings are stored locally on the device only. No advertising identifiers, analytics IDs, or personal identifiers are collected or stored. The app stores user preferences and settings in the user's home directory, under "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\SharpAlert". ("<username>" is a placeholder)
