Family location sharing: a privacy checklist
Before using any family location app, check who can see your location, what the company stores, whether it shows ads or sells data, and whether you can delete your account and data yourself.
Check a family location app in 5 steps
- Find out exactly who can see your location and how someone is added to the group.
- Read what the app stores about you and for how long.
- Check that the app does not show ads or sell your data.
- Make sure you can export and delete your data from inside the app.
- Review the phone permissions and battery settings the app needs to work reliably.
What we are building
Where is my people is a family location-sharing app for iPhone and Android that is coming soon. Family members see each other on a live map with battery level and place badges such as Home, Work and School. Location is shared only inside your family circle, and there are no ads and no data sales. You can export your data or delete your account inside the app. Read the privacy policy for the full details.
Talk to your family first
Location sharing works best when everyone agrees. Explain why you are sharing it, decide together who is in the circle, and respect requests to leave.
