Problem
Victims of abuse, violence, stalking, and bullying often struggle to collect and preserve digital evidence, such as messages, images, and audio recordings, which is crucial for legal proceedings. This evidence is often scattered across various platforms and devices, making it difficult to present a coherent case to law enforcement. Furthermore, victims risk losing this critical data if their devices are damaged, lost, or accessed by their abusers.
Solution
MyTutela is a mobile application designed to securely collect and store digital evidence from smartphones, ensuring its admissibility in legal contexts. The app captures data in a forensically sound manner, preserving the integrity and chain of custody of messages, screenshots, images, and videos. It offers an "Audio Ambiente" feature to record conversations, and generates comprehensive data reports suitable for submission during complaints and legal processes. In emergency situations, MyTutela facilitates direct contact with emergency services and law enforcement. The platform also ensures data protection, even if the user's phone is damaged or lost, and guarantees anonymity by making recordings available only upon filing a complaint.
Target Audience
MyTutela primarily targets individuals who are victims of abuse, violence, stalking, and bullying, as well as legal professionals such as lawyers, consultants, and psychologists who support these individuals.
