AreaWise Support

AreaWise helps users understand official SAPS crime statistics for Cape Town SAPS precincts they record during trips.

Coverage

The first launch covers Cape Town only. If you travel outside the bundled Cape Town precinct polygons, the app will show a Cape Town-only coverage notice instead of recording a misleading area visit.

Privacy

Location is processed on your device. Raw coordinates are not saved or sent to a server. The app stores only derived precinct identifiers, display labels, arrival timestamps, departure timestamps, and optional trip IDs.

Data Sources

Crime statistics are sourced from official SAPS quarterly crime statistics. Cape Town population denominators use Census 2022 police-precinct profiles. Boundary data uses the Stats SA 2025 PoliceDistrict frame.
