Children and Privacy
A simpler explanation of how InSyncKids treats information about children.
What is InSyncKids?
InSyncKids makes Buddies that an adult can connect to a private family account. If a child becomes separated from their adult, a finder can tap or scan the Buddy and use the contact choices selected by the family.
Who adds information?
An approved adult creates the account and decides what information is added. Children should not be asked to manage the main account or choose what private information is shown to a finder.
What information might be included?
The adult may add a first name, a Buddy name, contact details for trusted adults, and short medical or communication notes when these are genuinely helpful. The adult should not add more information than is needed.
What can a finder see?
A finder sees only the information the approved adult has chosen for the finder page. InSyncKids is designed so that a home address, school timetable and other unnecessary private details do not need to be shown.
What happens when a Buddy is scanned?
The family account may record that the Buddy was opened, the time it happened and basic technical information needed for security. The current service does not provide live location tracking.
Can information be changed or removed?
Yes. An approved adult can update the child profile and finder page choices. A child or adult can also contact us to ask a privacy question or request that information is corrected or removed, subject to legal requirements.
Who can help?
Speak to a parent, carer or another trusted adult if you are worried about information in an InSyncKids account. You can also email info@insynckids.com.
