Alert Visibility

Community alerts are designed to reach the right people while protecting your privacy.

Who Sees Your Alert

  • Community members only: Only people who have joined the same community can see your alert
  • Topic subscribers: Within the community, only members subscribed to the relevant topic receive a notification
  • Radius-filtered: Members outside the alert radius may still see the alert on the community page but will not receive push notifications

What Is Shared

  • Alert title and description
  • The topic category
  • The approximate area (radius)
  • When the alert was created
  • Alert status (active, resolved, expired)

What Is NOT Shared

  • Your exact home address
  • Your phone number or email
  • Your profile details beyond your display name

Resolving Alerts

When the situation is resolved (e.g., a lost item is found), you can mark the alert as resolved. Resolved alerts remain visible for reference but are no longer actively notified.
