No. Your privacy is of the utmost importance. You can only be located if you have asked for help. UWF Guardian location information is only enabled when you choose to make an emergency call, send a tip or when your safety timer expires and UFWPD has been designated as your guardian.
When using the Safety Timer, the user received a reminder message at 5 minutes and 1 minute before expiring. If it expires, a message goes active immediately to your chosen guardian(s) and they can call your cell phone. If the UWFPD is your chosen guardian, the call log will display the PIN used to set the time and we can verify if the person on the phone is the registered user or is in distress. Users and Guardian are notified 3 minutes before the Safety Timer expires, and then both parties are notified the second the Safety Timer finally expire.
