The Bottom Line

Dealing with someone's whereabouts is sensitive information. We understand this. It is possible to offer a reputable app that respects the privacy of its users and does only what it says. This is what we're doing here.

  • No email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, or IDs are ever requested from participants.
  • No tracking: The app only uses location for less than 1 second when the check-in button is tapped.
  • No data selling: We have no way of even identifying or contacting those checking in.

The App: Not a Tracker

Our app is not a person-tracker. It does not stay active on a phone tracking location.

  • Stays Frozen: The app remains inactive until the "Check me in" button is tapped.
  • Visual Proof: The iOS/Android location icon only appears for a brief moment during the check-in.
A view of a phone showing when its location information is being used.

The standard location icon only appears during check-in.

  • 1-Second Use: Location data is used for under 1 second to verify presence, then immediately discarded.
  • Never Stored: A participant's physical location (coordinates) is never stored on our server.

The Website & Cookies
