Evidence — what research provesD

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.

The evidence 2

Independent research, regulatory action, lawsuits and journalism about how this device handles personal data — the "what actually happens" axis. Each links to its source.

  1. S4AngelSense exposed location data and personal information of tracked users
    Breach report · TechCrunch · 2025-01

    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).

  2. S3AngelSense GPS Watch — Privacy Not Included
    Ngo review · Mozilla Foundation · 2023

    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.

An email is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you; it is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if still open), and you can erase it sooner. Unproven filings are deleted after 14 days.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
