A service offered with our committed partner UMAY
A French partnership for families
To develop The Phone Géo, we chose to partner with UMAY, the leading French app for travel safety.
For several years, ...
For several years, UMAY has been supporting its users in their daily commutes with geolocation and alert tools and a network of over 8,500 Safe Places, identified locations where anyone can find help if they feel in difficulty. Today, more than 200,000 users trust UMAY to accompany them during their commutes, outings, or travels.
Our meeting was an obvious choice.
On one hand, UMAY works to make travel safer. On the other, The Phone supports families who want to protect their children from the effects of hyper-connection while gradually giving them more autonomy.
We share the same conviction: technology must be useful, reassuring, and respectful of its users.
Geolocation designed differently
With The Phone Géo, we have opted for on-demand geolocation.
Parents can find the phone's location when needed, without permanent tracking and without turning the phone into a surveillance tool. The child is informed of this possibility and maintains a simple and calm use of their phone.
To achieve this, we have developed a specific architecture adapted to The Phone ecosystem.
Our goal was clear: to maintain the promise of a protected phone, without free internet, without an app store, and without exposure to digital uses that can distract children.
We have also chosen a geolocation solution independent of the Google services usually used on conventional smartphones. Location data is thus used exclusively to provide the service expected by families and is not used to feed third-party advertising or commercial uses.
A first step
This partnership marks a first step between UMAY and The Phone.
We are already working on new initiatives aimed at supporting families in their travels, their digital autonomy, and their daily safety.
Because helping a child grow up also means allowing them to gradually gain freedom, in a framework adapted to their age.
