AngelSense / Jiobit GPS Tracker
AngelSense, Inc. · Location / People Tracker
✓ Reviewed
Index
AngelSense is a locked-on wearable that continuously reports a child's or vulnerable adult's precise location over LTE and lets a guardian silently listen in through its microphone (auto-answer speakerphone plus a listen-in mode). Mozilla flagged that the company publishes no product-specific privacy policy, gives no children's-privacy information despite targeting kids, and never answered its security questions. The similar kid GPS tag Jiobit is owned by Life360, whose core business has been selling location data.
Why this rating
Collects precise location plus covert listen-in audio of children and vulnerable people (sensitive-collection -15), with opaque/vague policy and no product-specific children's-privacy disclosures (policy-vagueness -7) and unclear retention/deletion rights (-8); AngelSense has no data-sale clause (Mozilla notes data 'will not be shared with any 3rd party without... consent'). Evidence: a January 2025 misconfigured-database breach exposed shipping addresses, GPS coordinates and health conditions (e.g., autism, dementia) of tracked users (major-breach + security-negligence), compounding Mozilla's findings of unverifiable security and an unresponsive vendor. (The separately branded Jiobit tracker is a Life360 subsidiary; that tie does not apply to AngelSense.)

The evidence 2
Independent research, regulatory action, lawsuits, breaches and journalism about this device — the "what actually happens" axis. Each links to its source.
-
A misconfigured, unsecured database exposed shipping addresses, contact info, partial payment data, passwords, GPS coordinates and health conditions of people tracked with AngelSense.
Why it matters here: A real, severe breach of highly sensitive location and health data belonging to this exact device's users (children and vulnerable adults).
-
Mozilla gave AngelSense a 'Privacy Not Included' warning, citing no children's-privacy information, a listen-in microphone, unverifiable security, and an unresponsive company.
Why it matters here: The only independent privacy assessment of this children's/vulnerable-persons tracker.
