3 findings, in full

The first 3 of this report’s 15 key findings, complete — claim, reasoning, and the policy’s own wording.

Biometrics No verified control For Life360 parental consent checks, an ID or selfie image may be used with facial recognition

What this means

In certain circumstances, to verify that a parent or guardian has consented to a child's use, Life360's identity verification vendor may collect information from or an image of a government-issued ID, or an image of you such as a selfie, which may be used with facial recognition technology.

In certain circumstances, to verify parental consent for a child, Life360's identity verification vendor may collect information from or an image of a government-issued ID or an image of you (such as a selfie), which may be used with facial recognition technology.

Why this matters

A selfie or ID image collected by an identity verification vendor may be used with facial recognition.

What the policy says

We work with an identity verification vendor that may collect information from or an image of a government-issued ID or an image of you (for example, a selfie), which may be used with facial recognition technology. (Note: the digital age of consent may vary by jurisdiction and Life360 may adjust our parental consent process accordingly.) For more information, please click here .

Sharing Privacy control available Where the law allows, Life360 licenses precise geolocation for partners' own ads, except benefit-program members

What this means

Except for Employee Benefit Program Members, and where permitted by applicable law, Life360 licenses certain information, including precise geolocation data, to select business partners for their own advertising and monetization purposes, which may be considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under State Privacy Laws.

Why this matters

Unless you're an Employee Benefit Program Member, and where the law allows, your precise location can be used by other companies for their own advertising and monetization.

What the policy says

As described above , we license certain information, including precise geolocation data (which is "sensitive" personal data under certain State Privacy Laws) to select business partners for their own advertising and monetization purposes.

Location If you delete your account, active Tile or Pet GPS locations may still be collected

What this means

If you delete your account, the location of active Life360 Pet GPS or Tile Products may still be collected anonymously from other community members who are running the app and are within Bluetooth range of your device.

If you delete your account, location of active Pet GPS or Tile Products may still be collected anonymously from other community members within Bluetooth range of your device.

Why this matters

Deleting your account does not by itself stop an active Tile or Pet GPS from being located by others' phones.

What the policy says

For Life360 Pet GPS or Tile customers: If you delete your account or other personal information, the location information associated with active Life360 Pet GPS or Tile Products may still be collected anonymously from other Tile and/or Life360 Community members who are running the app and are within Bluetooth range of your device. To completely disable this type of information collection we recommend you transfer the Life360 Pet GPS or Tiles prior to account or data deletion, and remove the battery from (if applicable) and/or disable your Products by deactivating the device (if applicable).
