Frequently Asked Questions

These are some common questions we get asked often so we thought it’d be a good idea to let everyone know a few things. Hope this helps explain more to everyone.

What happens when you scan a CharlieTag?

The scanning device gets a page of information containing the guardian’s picture, contact number, the dependents name, age, vital notes, and any allergies if entered. Premium members also get a GPS ping sent upon the scan.

Do people need special software to scan a CharlieTag?

Not at all, the scan goes directly to the dependent profile page that was setup by the account holder. The way our system works, the info is accessible to any device with a data/internet connection and a camera, with nothing more than a simple scan and a tap.

Does CharlieTag provide tracking?

We do not provide full on tracking; we use GPS pings instead to keep your whereabouts your business as we believe it should be. Your privacy is important to us, and we want to respect that at all times.

Does the CharlieTag company sell any personal data?

ABSOLUTELY NOT, we respect each and every customers right to privacy. That’s your data, and no one else’s business. We will never sell, trade, or in anyway willfully compromise any of our clients personal information.

Does CharlieTag work for children only?

While our true inspiration comes from a bunch of dads trying to protect children, CharlieTag is for anyone and everyone that needs extra special care at times. The system can be used in many circumstances!

Why not use an air tag or some other form of phone tracking system?

While we do see the appeal of these kinds of tracking and informational services and products, we want to take a less intrusive approach. Furthermore, anything that’s computerized can be hacked, has battery life to maintain, and some broadcast to everyone close-by. We feel our route is more reliable and secure.
