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.
