receiving at the network interface information regarding an event from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network; simultaneously storing at a memory of a server the information for contacts and the information regarding the event; receiving at the network interface a notification that at least one specified condition has been met for the notification to have been sent to the network interface from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network; receiving at the network interface event completion data from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network; processing the received notification using a processor to determine a contact of the user to contact; and based on the notification that at least one specified condition has been met, the at least one specified condition comprising at least one task completion by the user of the at least one task, contacting at least one contact of the user wherein the one or more tasks include one or more of inputting a password, triple clicking a home button on a computing device, double clicking a home button on the computing device, and replying to a text message. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the computing device capable of matching computer readable code stored on the memory of the server with computer readable code in a memory of a criminal database via an application server. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the contacts including one or more of a family member, a friend, a church acquaintance, a business acquaintance, a school acquaintance, and a medical acquaintance. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, the event including one or more of a solo event, a one-on-one event, a group event, a social event, a family event, a business event, a recreation event, a shopping event, an exercise event, a church event, a sporting event, and a travel event. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving at timed intervals at the network interface, more than one GPS tag correlating to a location of the computing device. ### Claim 6 A system for providing personal safety communications for a user, comprising: a network interface for receiving information for contacts from a computing device connected to the network interface over a network, the computing device comprising GPS tagging capabilities; the network interface for receiving information regarding an event from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network; the network interface for receiving a notification that at least one specified condition has been met for the notification to have been sent to the network interface from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network, the at least one specified condition comprising at least one task completion by the user of the at least one task; the network interface for receiving event completion data from the computing device connected to the network interface over the network; a memory of a server simultaneously storing the contact information, the event information, the notification, and the event completion data; a processor for processing the received notification to determine a contact of the user to contact; wherein the server is controlled by the processor to contact at least one contact of the user further wherein the one or more tasks include one or more of inputting a password, triple clicking a home button on a computing device, double clicking a home button on a computing device, and replying to a text message. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, the computing device capable of matching computer readable code stored on the memory of the server with computer readable code in a memory of a criminal database via an application server. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, the contacts including one or more of a family member, a friend, a church acquaintance, a business acquaintance, a school acquaintance, and a medical acquaintance. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, the event including one or more of a solo event, a one-on-one event, a group event, a social event, a family event, a business event, a recreation event, a shopping event, an exercise event, a church event, a sporting event, and a travel event. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, further comprising the network interface for receiving more than one GPS tag correlating to a location of the computing device.
