HeyPolo family location app puts privacy first and doesn't store your data

Full text

“Text me when you get there” is how we say goodbye to family nowadays. And then comes the anxious wait for that notification. Location sharing helps settle this anxiety. But constant monitoring can cause its own problems, and you don’t want things to dip into surveillance territory while you chase peace of mind. Many tracking apps run on always-on monitoring by default, and it is not always clear what happens to the location data behind the scenes.

HeyPolo is built to work the other way around. Made by the team behind Surfshark, an excellent privacy-focused VPN, HeyPolo lets you choose how you share your location on your own terms, and it isn’t something the company collects, stores, or sells. And it’s packed with other interesting features, too. Here’s what you need to know.
