Family location data deserves careful handling

Location information can reveal routines, schools and frequently visited places. Guardian keeps family information inside a private, parent-managed account rather than using public profiles or a social discovery feed.

Families should still limit access to trusted adults, protect their accounts and discuss how location information will be used. Privacy is both a product design choice and an everyday family responsibility.

Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.

No. Guardian focuses on useful alerts and quick checks when context is needed.

Can phone settings delay updates?

Yes. Battery optimisation, permissions and background restrictions can affect reporting.

Does Guardian have public profiles?

No. Family information stays inside a private, parent-managed account.
