In the user menu, open **Personal Data**, switch to the **Privacy** tab and go to **Notifications**. Under **Scan alert to me** you can determine whether you will be notified by e-mail yourself during a scan. Under **Notify emergency contacts during the scan** you control the notification of your saved Emergency contacts.


Notification of the Emergency contacts can include email and, if you have a mobile number, SMS. Your own scan notification will be sent to the Email address of your account. Under **Emergency contacts**, you can tell by the status **Confirmed** or **Confirmation pending** whether the invitee has already accepted their role.


To protect against repeated alarms, contact notifications have an 18-hour lockout period. Additional scans within this period will not trigger the same contact notification again. My scan email and contact notification are separate settings and can be turned on or off independently.
