PLP - People Location Protocol:

People who participate in the People Locator Protocol have a part in the Missing People section of the app, from which they can make a search request from another person with whom they are paired, if they consider they are at risk.

People who decide to pair up must be registered in the App of the same population.

Within the M7 Citizen Security Local Police program, fathers, mothers, guardians of minors or in situations of disability or vulnerability, may request the search of these relatives, if they consider that they may be in a critical situation. They would act for them, replacing their action, in the same way that a registered user does when, from the App of Citizen Security, sends an emergency message.

 The pairing process is carried out by the Social Welfare and Local Police departments of each municipality.

In any case, the position and route of the person sought will only be visible to the Police. Within the framework of the Official Law on Data Protection, it is not allowed to make a person’s location available without their express choice and even, in extreme cases, a court order is essential. In addition, technical means help to make this possible.
