You can check the review history on either app, the project has existed for a full year. The timing is a coincidence, but I do understand the paranoia.

I am taking security very seriously. All sensitive rows are protected by RLS, and I have gone even further by adding random noise to all location data. Locations are locked down, but in the unfortunate event of a hack what would be leaked i
