Delhi Police has made its mobile application for the safety of women – HIMMAT – more secure and user-friendly.
The app's data is now stored on the National Informatics Centre (NIC) cloud storage. Earlier, it used to be uploaded on a foreign cloud.
The app contains cellphone numbers of women and earlier this data was being stored on Amazon cloud storage, said a senior police officer.
"There is always a fear that with your data being available on a foreign platform, it might be hacked into or misused. However, now with the data being uploaded on the NIC cloud, the data is more secure since it is on the Indian government's getaway," he added.
The app was launched in 2015 on the Amazon cloud.
Recently, it was relaunched with more user-friendly features, including an easier registration process.
