What the user does
Send or accept the supported contact request and confirm the relationship deliberately.
Care with visible consent boundaries
Support loved ones, teens, and young adults without turning care into hidden surveillance.
StayKnown gives families and eligible guardians approved relationships, purposeful Visits, I’M SAFE reassurance, urgent SOS escalation, and clear endings.

Care without covert tracking
Interactive situation lab
Care changes with the relationship and the active safety state.
Select a family moment to see how approval, guardian consent, check-ins, and urgent escalation remain distinct.
Approve
Trusted relationship
Begin with a visible approved-contact relationship.
Family connection outside StayKnown does not automatically create location access inside the platform.
What trusted people understand
Both people see the approval state and identity associated with the relationship.
Safety boundary
Approval prepares supported safety flows; it does not create permanent location access.
Safety design principles
Protection should remain understandable in real life.
01
Relationship does not equal surveillance
Family, guardian, partner, or caregiver status does not automatically create permanent access.
02
Minor protection is age-aware
Under-13 access is blocked and ages 13–17 use the supported guardian-consent process.
03
Reassurance remains direct
I’M SAFE helps loved ones communicate clearly without requiring constant checking calls.
04
Abuse rules apply to family relationships
Stalking, threats, coercive control, grooming, exploitation, and ignored blocks remain prohibited.
Important boundary
Protective care must remain lawful, visible, and respectful.
StayKnown supports families and guardians while preserving the user’s consent, dignity, lawful rights, and ability to end or report misuse.
A family relationship does not override a decline, restriction, removal, or block.
Guardian flows do not authorize hidden surveillance or coercive control.
Protective orders and lawful no-contact boundaries take priority.
Immediate child-safety concerns should reach the correct local safeguarding authority.
Prepare before the moment
Build a family safety plan before an urgent moment.
Agree who should be approved, when a Visit should be used, what an I’M SAFE confirmation means, and how recipients should respond to SOS.
