According to them, the platform does not collect names, addresses, or precise GPS coordinates from its users. Instead, it uses anonymized polar coordinate calculations based on ZIP codes to trigger location-based alerts.

The evidence that there is faked data is screenshots on Reddit that are claimed to be of a chatroom where someone is posting something that looks like personal data which contains information that the site says they do not collect. This isn’t exactly a smoking gun.

Given that they are the target of a cyber attack, likely one that is politically motivated, I would assume that the attackers are not above spreading disinformation on social media.
