4. Service Features

4.1. Applications

The Service includes two interrelated applications:

– locately: Installed on the parent’s mobile device.

– locately: Installed on the child’s mobile device.

To activate the locately app and access its features, you must enter an access code sent to the parent’s device running locately.

4.2. Features of locately

locately offers the following features to parents:

– Location Tracking: Determines the child’s device location using GPS, WiFi, and mobile internet, updated every 15 minutes. Parents can view the child’s location if the child’s device is added to their profile. Parents may add an unlimited number of children to their profile.

– Sound Transmission: Allows parents to hear sounds near the child’s device.

– Device Settings Monitoring: Identifies settings that may interfere with the app’s performance and provides guidance to fix them.

– Tracking History: Displays a history of the child’s locations.

– Geofencing Notifications: Sends notifications to the parent’s device if the child leaves a designated area.

– Battery Level Display: Shows the battery charge level of the child’s device.

– Usage Statistics: Provides statistics on app usage on the child’s device, including app names and usage percentages over a specified period.

– Additional Features: Other functionalities based on the acquired license.

4.3. Accuracy and Limitations

Parents should be aware that the accuracy of the child’s location depends on various factors, including mobile network coverage and connection stability. For example, if the child is in an area with poor network coverage, the map may not display correctly, and the location may not match the actual location. The app tracks the location of the child’s device, so if the child’s device is lost, given to someone else, or turned off, the location shown will be that of the device, not the child.

4.4. Data Collection and Sharing

Certain features of the Service rely on collecting and sharing location and other information. These features require the relevant software and settings to be enabled for proper functionality. The Service may not work correctly if location data collection is disabled, the device is turned off, or there are connectivity issues.
