Frequently Asked Questions

Will my parents be able to track my location?

No. We never track location. Your parents only know that you checked in. Where you checked in from is entirely your business.

What if I'm at a party or traveling and forget?

You get reminders before the deadline. If you miss, your parents get a notification. Quick solution: check in early in the day before you go out.

Can I set my roommate as backup contact?

Your emergency contact can be anyone—parent, roommate, host family, or friend. Choose whoever can best help in an emergency.

Does this work in countries with restricted internet?

It works anywhere you can access the internet, including via VPN. If you're somewhere with zero internet for extended periods, let your contact know in advance.
