Terms of Use

Last updated: March 2026

Acceptance

By downloading and using BLEA, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Purpose

BLEA is a public safety tool designed to assist in locating missing persons who have Bluetooth-enabled medical devices. It is not intended for any other purpose.

Privacy of Located Individuals

When a detection is made, location data is shared exclusively with verified law enforcement investigators. BLEA does not share detection coordinates with family members, case submitters, or any non-law-enforcement party.

If law enforcement determines the individual left voluntarily and is not in danger, the case is closed and no location information is disclosed. BLEA respects every individual's right to privacy and safety.

BLEA does not assist in locating individuals who have voluntarily left or where no law enforcement investigation is active.

User Conduct

You agree not to attempt to reverse engineer, modify, or misuse the BLEA app or its detection network. You agree not to submit false or fraudulent missing persons cases.

BLEA users are not notified when a signal match occurs. All detection data is reported directly to law enforcement.

If you have submitted a case and are notified of a signal detection, do not attempt to locate the person yourself. Share all detection information with law enforcement and allow them to coordinate the response. Approaching a location without law enforcement present may compromise the safety of the missing person and interfere with an active investigation.

Case Activation

Cases are only activated with a verified, active law enforcement case number. BLEA verifies all case submissions with the reporting agency before activation.

Case Submitter Responsibilities

By submitting a missing person case through BLEA, you represent and warrant that:

No Warranty

BLEA is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app will detect any specific signal, or that detections will result in the recovery of a missing person. BLE detection range varies significantly based on environment, device, and interference.

Rewards

Where a family has posted a reward for information leading to recovery, BLEA facilitates but does not guarantee reward distribution. Reward eligibility is determined by the posting family and applicable law.

You may register your device for reward eligibility by providing your name and phone number. This information is shared only with verified law enforcement and the reward-posting family for the sole purpose of facilitating the reward. You can remove your registration at any time from the app home screen. When you remove your registration, your name and phone number are permanently deleted from our servers. Any detections previously associated with your device will be retained in anonymized form only.

Limitation of Liability

BLEA and its operators shall not be liable for any damages arising from use or inability to use the app, including but not limited to failure to detect a signal, inaccurate GPS coordinates, or delayed transmission.

Age Requirement

BLEA is intended for users aged 18 and older. By downloading and using the app, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age. BLEA involves law enforcement coordination, missing persons investigations, and background location data collection, and is not designed for use by minors. If you are under 18, please delete the app immediately. BLEA does not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.
