For kids
Hey, this is your safety agreement too.
Your parent invited you to use Tiny Beacon. Read this page together so you both know what the app shares and what it does not.
What your parent can see
SOS is always on so you can ask for help. Every other safeguard shares something only if your parent switches it on:
- When you get to school or home, and when you leave.
- Where you are, when place alerts are on, and each time you tap SOS or use your family safe word.
- Your SOS alert and your family safe word, any time you need help.
- Your phone status, like roughly how much battery is left and the last check-in time, if your parent switches this on.
- Which apps you used and for how long, on Android only, if your parent switches this on.
- Your screen-time routines, like app limits and bedtime.
What the app from Google Play or the App Store cannot see
Your messages, your photos and your screen. That app does not read them.
Supervised Android edition: if your Tiny Beacon did not come from Google Play or the App Store, you may have this older edition. There, your parent can switch on extra safeguards one at a time: checks of what is on your screen, a safety review of your messages and calls, and website safety rules. You can see in the app which ones are on.
You can always check
You can see what is switched on. Ask questions any time. Say if something feels unfair.
Talk to your parent first. A trusted grown-up can help too.
SOS is always on
SOS is always on. If you feel unsafe, tap SOS or use your family safe word. Your parent gets your alert as soon as your phone has signal or internet.
If you are in danger right now, call 999.
A note to your parent
