Frequently Asked Questions

boundrees runs entirely on your child’s phone. We don’t upload data to the cloud, and we never send full conversations. If a real threat is detected, only a short, relevant alert is securely shared with you.

Yes. boundrees includes real-time location tracking and location history. You can view each child’s current location individually—and also see all your kids’ locations on one easy-to-read map. You’ll always know where they are without needing to interrupt or hover.

No. boundrees is designed to alert you only when there’s a real concern. You can also mark alerts as useful or not, which helps the app refine accuracy based on your family’s preferences.

boundrees was built using years of research on teen and tween communication patterns—and we continue to update the algorithm to keep pace with emerging slang, trends, and threats.

Not at all. boundrees is a protective tool, not a surveillance one. It respects your child’s dignity while giving you the critical information needed to keep them safe. No full transcripts, no unnecessary monitoring—only alerts when harm may be present.
