What Eyrie Does — and What It Does Not Do

Effective date: 7 October 2026 Last updated: 29 October 2026

Eyrie is a family location-sharing and safety app for parents and guardians. It helps a family stay connected and know that everyone got where they were going — openly, with the child able to see exactly what is shared. Eyrie is built on one idea: a safety app should be something a family uses together, not something done to a child in secret.

Eyrie DOES

  • Share location the child can see. A child's phone shares its location with the family. The child can always see, in the app, exactly what the family can and cannot see about them — recorded in a plain-language "transparency contract" the child can read and acknowledge.
  • Rely on the parent's consent. A child cannot give legal consent to location sharing, so the parent or guardian who adds the child gives it on the child's behalf — and is responsible for telling the child about it.
  • Show where family members are on a map, with recent location history for the number of days your plan includes.
  • Let you set up "Places" (home, school, a friend's house) and tell you about arrivals and departures.
  • Run "Routines" — the expected arrivals and departures for a normal day — and alert you if someone hasn't arrived, left early, or left late.
  • Send safety alerts — including running late, went-quiet (a phone that has stopped reporting), low battery, and a flag if a device reports a faked ("mocked") location.
  • Carry SOS. A child can press for help, and the family is alerted with the child's location. (SOS notifies your family — it does not contact emergency services.)
  • Help you "check in". A parent can ask a child's phone to report now, and a child can volunteer "I'm here" with a tap.
  • Let you exchange short text messages like "on my way" or "can you pick me up" — text only, with no photos, voice or video, and without needing a separate chat app.
  • Hold simple medical information, if you choose to add it (on plans that include it) — conditions, allergies and blood type — so it is to hand in an emergency. During an SOS it is shown on the child's lock screen for a first responder. See the Privacy Policy.
  • Let you add Guardians and Trusted Contacts. Guardians (a co-parent or grandparent) get the access you choose. Trusted Contacts (a neighbour or coach) never receive location — on plans with SOS escalation, they get a text message if a child's SOS goes unanswered.
  • Let the child see everything shared, and let you delete your data at any time (and export it, on plans that include export).

Eyrie does NOT

  • Does NOT see the content of messages, photos, calls, browsing or apps. Eyrie shares location and device signals the child can see — not the contents of what's on the phone. It does not use the microphone or camera to track. On plans with unknown-contact alerts, an Android child phone checks which numbers that are not in its contacts have texted or called it, and sends only a masked number and counts — never the message text.
  • Does NOT sell your data. We never sell or rent your personal information.
  • Does NOT put ads in the app. The Eyrie apps have no advertising, and we never use your family's data for advertising or advertise to children. Some pages of our public website show ads from Google — see our Advertising Standards.
  • Does NOT replace emergency services. Eyrie is a safety aid, not an emergency service. In an emergency, contact the emergency services where you are.
  • Does NOT guarantee accuracy or availability. GPS can be wrong, delayed or unavailable; phones run out of battery, lose signal, or get switched off. Never rely on Eyrie as the only way to know where someone is or that they're safe.
  • Does NOT let you secretly spy. Eyrie is designed to be visible to the child being kept safe. Hiding the app or defeating its transparency is against our Acceptable Use Policy, and using Eyrie to monitor an adult, or anyone you don't have the legal right to monitor, is prohibited and may be against the law.

In short: Eyrie helps your family look out for each other, in the open. It's a helpful tool — not a guarantee, not a spy, and not a substitute for contacting emergency services when it matters.
