Fast
App setup was a breeze, with a quick scan of my state issued ID and then a selfie (I mean, who can’t take a selfie these days?!). I was instantly verified in the app. At a school event, I was able to bypass the long parent line and head straight to the door, where a scanner scanned my phone and allowed me to enter the event. So convenient!
I read reviews of a data breach, and then did a simple online search to discover there was no breach. In 2024 a security researcher found an unsecured database, told raptor’s company representatives about it, and raptor had it secured the next day. There was also no evidence of third party access to the unsecured database.

Garbage
This app has so little information you could delete it and nothing would change. Doesn’t let you know anything when picking up your child. If I could rate it zero stars I would.
Does not work at all
I don’t which company from which country designed this. But it doesn’t work. Pain for everyone. Time to resist this app.
Deletion
Raptor Technologies collects your personal data : name, date of birth, partial license number, and photo, every time you visit your child’s school, yet deliberately excludes visitor data from their public facing privacy policy. When I contacted them directly to understand how long my data is retained and to request deletion, they deflected me back to the school district.
The school deflected me back to them. Meanwhile, in January 2024, Raptor exposed over 4 million records: including visitor driver’s license data
, in an unsecured cloud database with no password protection. There is no publicly stated fixed retention period for your data, no transparency about third party sharing, and no straightforward path to deletion. This app is installed in schools across the country and parents are given no meaningful choice but to comply. Every parent scanning their license at a school front desk deserves to know exactly what they are consenting to and right now, Raptor makes sure you cannot easily find out.

Not intuitive
Slow to work, if there is more than 1 person trying to enter it just mucks up everything and is expensive for the schools.
