Check on Me provides peace of mind by enabling you to track your family member’s whereabouts.
Example uses are:
- Tracking your child when it is out with friends and not returning home at the agreed time.
- Receiving an automated notice at work when your child returns home.
- Enabling your family members in case of distress to send a SMS via a single click that contains a pre-defined alert message and the member’s current location information.
- Tracking your parent in case he got lost.
- Checking with your parent using voice by invoking a call-back from your parent’s phone if he has fallen and cannot get up to reach the phone.
- Receiving an automated alert when the battery on your parent’s phone is running low.
With a few configuration steps you can set up the phones of your family, enabling you to keep in touch and be informed about their current locations. The tracked members of your family are always made aware when and by whom they are tracked, providing transparency and preventing any use that could interfere with their personal preferences.
To allow privacy, your family members can also temporary disable the tracking feature, making it impossible to determine their location and or create alerts.
