Abstract

A user's travel is securely monitored using user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints within a secure travel profile. The user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints granularly specify controls related to user travel privacy and authorized release of travel information to a user-specified trusted third party in association with the user's travel, in addition to specifying a planned travel route and a planned travel time frame. A route deviation by the user relative to the planned travel route or planned travel time frame is detected during the secure monitoring of the user's travel. A user-configured level of travel information authorized by the user to be released to the user-specified trusted third party within a traveler safety alert responsive to the route deviation is determined based upon the user-configured secure travel monitoring constraints. The traveler safety alert with the user-configured level of travel information is sent to the user-specified trusted third party.
