The beta
Family Nearby is in beta. It may have bugs, and features can change. We will tell you in the app before we make big changes.
Who can use it
- You must be 13 or older.
- A person aged 13 to 17 can use Family Nearby only with a parent’s consent. A parent adds them from the parent’s own phone.
Not an emergency service
Family Nearby is not an emergency service. Locations can be late or wrong, and alerts can be delayed. Never rely on it to keep someone safe in an emergency. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.
Share only with consent
- Only share the location of people who know and agree, or of children in your care.
- Do not use Family Nearby to watch someone in secret. The app always shows when a phone is sharing.
- Adults can pause sharing or leave a Circle at any time.
Acceptable use
- No secret tracking.
- No harassment or threats.
- Do not break the law.
- Do not abuse the service, for example by attacking it or overloading it.
Your account
Keep your sign-in secure. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account and data, or on the delete your account page.
Ending
You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Plans
The free plan includes up to 10 people per Circle, 3 places per Circle and 7 days of history. A paid plan may come later. If we ever change the free plan, we will tell you in the app first.
No promises about the service
Family Nearby is provided “as is”. Locations and alerts can be late or wrong. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect loss. Nothing here limits rights you have by law that cannot be limited.
Governing law
These terms are governed by applicable law. If you use Family Nearby as a consumer, you keep the consumer rights that the law of the country where you live gives you and that a contract cannot take away.
Changes to these terms
We update the date at the top when we change these terms. For big changes, we tell you in the app.
