Frequently Asked Questions
Can deployed service members use this?
If they have smartphone access and internet, yes. However, this is primarily designed for the family members at home who also need a safety net during deployment.
We move bases frequently. Does that matter?
Not at all. The app works anywhere with internet. No address or location setup needed. Move freely, check in from anywhere.
Can extended family (grandparents) check on us?
Yes. Set a grandparent or other family member as your emergency contact. On Protect Me, they'll be alerted if you miss a check-in, bridging the distance.
Is this OPSEC safe?
We collect no location data, no GPS, no movement patterns. Only your email, name, and check-in timestamps. No operational security concerns.
My spouse is deployed and I am managing kids alone on a base far from family. How does this help me?
Set a parent or sibling as your emergency contact. On Protect Me, if something happens to you, your extended family is alerted within hours and can coordinate help. Military spouses carry enormous responsibility alone during deployment, and this ensures someone is watching out for you too.
Can both the deployed member and the spouse at home use it?
Yes, though the primary value is usually for the family at home, who often lack a daily safety net during a deployment. If the service member has smartphone access and internet, they can check in too, but operational realities may make that inconsistent. Setting up the at-home spouse and any nearby elderly parents with daily check-ins means extended family is alerted if one of them goes quiet, which matters most when the usual in-house support is deployed.
Is a daily check-in app OPSEC-compliant?
A routine check-in shares no location and collects no movement data; tapping the button sends only that you are okay, along with your email, name, and check-in time. There is no live map, no GPS trace, and no pattern-of-life data that could raise operational-security concerns. Because the check-in itself carries no whereabouts, it gives family peace of mind without creating the kind of location footprint that always-on tracking apps do.
