Question 1

What is Safety Checkpoint?

Accepted Answer

Safety Checkpoint is an emergency communication platform that sends pre-written messages to your contacts when you miss a scheduled check-in. It works for daily routines, solo travel, night activities, and any situation where someone should know if you're okay. • Configure a check-in protocol once with your schedule, contacts, and emergency message • Confirm you're okay each day with a single tap • If you miss a check-in, your contacts receive your pre-written alert via email (or SMS on Survival plan) • Messages can include address, medical details, GPS coordinates, and encrypted file attachments • Works for seniors, solo travelers, remote workers, caregivers, and anyone living alone

Question 2

How does Safety Checkpoint work?

Accepted Answer

You set a recurring check-in schedule. At the scheduled time, you receive a notification and tap to confirm. If you don't confirm within the grace period, all your designated contacts are alerted automatically with your pre-written emergency message. • Create a protocol: set the schedule, write the message, add contacts • Daily check-in: receive a notification and tap once to confirm • Grace period: a configurable window (15–60 min) prevents false alarms • Automatic alert: if the grace period expires, contacts are notified simultaneously • No manual action needed during an emergency — that's the core design principle

Question 3

Do I need special hardware to use Safety Checkpoint?

Accepted Answer

No. Safety Checkpoint works entirely through a web app and push notifications — no pendant, wristband, or dedicated device required. Any modern smartphone or tablet with a browser is sufficient. • Works on iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers • Push notifications for check-in reminders — one tap to confirm • No wearable to charge, maintain, or remember to put on • Your contacts don't need an app — they receive alerts via email (SMS on Survival plan) • Native iOS and Android apps are coming soon for an even smoother experience

Question 5

Who uses Safety Checkpoint?

Accepted Answer

Safety Checkpoint is used by people in any situation where delayed discovery is a risk: seniors living alone, solo travelers, remote workers, night shift workers, people recovering from surgery, caregivers, and activists in sensitive contexts. • Seniors and people living alone who want a daily safety net • Solo travelers and hikers who need emergency communication in remote areas • Remote workers whose absence might not be noticed for hours • Night shift workers in isolated environments • Caregivers managing check-ins for multiple people • Anyone whose daily routine doesn't include someone who'd notice their absence quickly

Question 6

Is my data encrypted?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All emergency messages, file attachments, and credentials stored in Safety Checkpoint are end-to-end encrypted. This means only your designated contacts can access the information — not even Safety Checkpoint can read it. • End-to-end encryption for all emergency content • File attachments (emergency instructions, itinerary, personal notes) are encrypted at rest and in transit • Encrypted credentials and access codes are only decrypted when an alert triggers • No third-party monitoring centers have access to your data • GDPR-ready: consent collection for contacts, data export, account deletion, no tracking or data sharing
