Target user

The app is used to track someone with a smartphone. If you do not know the purpose, please reread all the purposes in the Getting Started session.

If you are a parent and want to track all activities of your child's smartphone - for example, a Samsung Galaxy device- then your child is a target user.

If you are a boss and want to track all activities of your employee's smartphone - for example, an iPhone device- then your employee is a target user.

1. Company Employees (Enterprise Use)

  • Please make suresecurity compliance (e.g., preventing risky apps, checking data usage).
  • Backup/transfer device data (in case of new devices, offboarding).
• Considerations:
  • Privacy concerns — need clear policies on what data is tracked (e.g., work vs. personal apps).
  • Consent and transparency — Employees should know what's being collected.
  • Minimal interference — the app should work quietly in the background, with low battery and data impact.
